    Thank you for the replies. I appreciate it a lot. You got me thinking hard on coffee now. I’m not sure why I used two filters. Maybe to stop it from flowing over the edges of the drip machine. But now that I think of it, why not use a pour over method? I looked up that hand grinder and see the pour over equipment bought frequently with it.

    I might have to try that with the water. But my water is very palatable. I live near Seattle, and my water dispenser is filtered through an insinkerator dispenser, which also does my boiling water.

    Oooo, I just use ground beans and toss them on two filters and run the coffee pot. My water is kinda hard, we have an espresso machine (breville batista touch) that had us do a water test with our filtered water. If I’m doing espresso we try to do local seller beans from Fred Meyers.

    I don’t mind espresso, but an Americano just tastes like coffee that’s been watered down, or too bitter which I don’t mind. But just a drip has been a better taste for me. I’m not extremely picky but I would love to get a better taste because I’ve definitely noticed the difference in coffee beans.

    BTW I drink my coffee straight. No cream no sugar most times. And I love it iced.

    I see you really like coffee lol. I like coffee too. But my interest stopped at “drip this and refrigerate it, add ice in the morning”. No sugar. But I am not particular about coffee taste, as long as it isn’t sour.

    Hmm but now that I’ve got your attention, what would you recommend to upgrade the palatability of my cold brew?

    I was thinking the same thing, sport related hobbies. Because I dabbled in snowboarding as a youth and spent around $400 on my board and gear. My coat was $100. I spent way too much on a sport that I knew after 2 seasons that I didn’t want to do it anymore. I could’ve spent more but I’m glad I spent just enough to have good gear to get the good honest attempt to get into it but not enough to have a garage full of boards.

    I bought the Bambu P1S 3d printer. I’ve never 3d printed and knew very little except for the dozen or so YouTube videos recommending it and how to use it, learned about filaments and everything else I now know I learned on the way.

    I could have gotten one of a dozen <$500 3D printers. But would that just leave me wanting in the future? Will I be stuck with a cheaper tool after learning and experiencing the ceiling of it?

    I see this mentality working on people who aren’t interested in a hobby enough to justify a large purchase, people just trying out and see if they’re interested kinda thing. But what if the subpar gear turns the person off from their poor experience?
