  • I think you’ll be very happy with the new addition. I’ve had the Forté AP for a few years now and it has been super reliable, very consistent, and has needed only the occasional cleaning.

    So you know if you can get a single dose hopper for the Sette? That’s one accessory I got for the Forté and I seriously love. I use the lid as a cup for measuring beans, it pours into the hopper without dropping a single bean, and it’s large enough to hold beans even for a larger chemex setup.


  • Applying it directly to plants or mixed into potting soil has very mixed support. It’s decomposing cellulose, like any other plant, so it’s unlikely to be that bad in any application. Mostly it seems like well meaning coffee enthusiasts recommend it, while mixing grounds into compost appears to be widely recommended even by non-enthusiasts.

    The thing I avoid like the plague is getting grounds down the drain. Over time they’ll clog drains, collect in pipes slowing flow, etc. and generally be a pain. So I’m careful to get as much out before rinsing as possible without going crazy. I also do not use it in soaps, because soap film plus coffee grounds in your drain is a perfect recipe for those clogged pipes.

    I’ve been meaning to try using used grounds in a cooking rub- leaving them to dry and then mixing them in a spice rub or using them as the rub itself. I’d be interested to see if anybody’s tried used versus fresh grounds, and whether there’s a noticeable difference.




  • I’m detecting some guilt. Nobody here called you a Nazi, or anything other than right wing. Which you openly admit to. I mean, you claimed you were a moderate, but have taken up the right wing cause as your cross to bear. It’s funny how you accuse everyone else of calling you a thing. Nobody but yourself said.

    You’re not the martyr you’re pretending to be. You’re just being an asshole to people with less power than you. Nobody’s impressed by your tax bill, least of all me. And the fact that you make so much that you have to pay 40k in tax. And yet you still pretend that money would make any difference in your life means you’re spending the money you have foolishly. Your petty greedy asshole. There, now somebody called you names.



  • In the US, close to half of the winnings do go to the lottery, plus a portion of each lottery ticket usually goes to fund some government agency. Schools, programs for the impoverished and disenfranchised, etc.

    The real question, in my opinion, is if you are willing to spend that much money on a ticket, why aren’t you willing to spend that much money on just outright funding government programs? Imagine if 100% of what someone paid for a ticket went to programs for the disenfranchised? That could make real difference.
