We had a vote on biscuits or coffee machines at the tea station 10 years ago. We're still removing rubble from the war.

Cold brew from home, or batch brew in a thermos?

Agree though, bad coffee is bad life.

I just use a plunger at work and bring in my own ground beans from a local roaster who imports beans from microlots all over the world - PNG, India, Colombia, Panama etc. Currently I've got Colombian beans from the Tambo area.

I started doing the plunger when I got sent to the back blocks for work for a while years ago and have kept doing it as I reckon I save $70 - $80 per month, and I really enjoy the flexibility of trying different beans/roasts.

Aeropress? Assuming you at least have access to boiling water at work.

my parents bought a colossal breville coffee machine after their 5 year anniversary.

i think that it was one of the biggest cost saving decisions that they've made in their lives, as they're both 2-3 cups a day drinkers.

I got one for my bday last year. Upgrade from a pod machine. The move from cheap pods to decent beans is roughly the same price, but gee the coffee is so much better.

I have one of those, it's now 12 years old, makes weird cranky noises and still the best coffee around.

Since we're talking coffee
Paying $5 for an espresso same as you milk heathens

Those pods taste like plastic to me. Gross.

I’d been having them for so long I’d become immune to it.

Jobe strikes me more as the almond latte kinda barista

Meanwhile, gotta say ho Chi Minh is a great coffee city.
Not just the variations on Vietnamese coffee, but love the option of a french press

Took the day off on Friday to go to the bank to get accounts sorted since getting married and changing names. Tried to order debit card in my name. Banker couldn’t do it, told me to try online, otherwise wait until today to call help line. Called help line today, was told it can only be done in branch. Branch hours are 9.30-4 most days. I’m lucky I work in a job where I can get there before close a couple of days a week, but **** me, they really make it difficult for people.

Similar to post offices being open 9-5.

Bad luck if you work a job that isn't close enough to get there on your lunch break.

Not sure that blocking hundreds of trucks for hours is doing a lot for the environment.

new PSTs (preservice teachers) at school in an unused classroom near my office are unable to clean up after themselves, especially in our kitchen (serving about 12 regular staff + 10 of them)

while making my morning cup of tea i saw two of them just put their food waste into the sink and not clean it at all.

the youth are lazy!

That's standard life in a big office. I often wonder what those people's homes look like.

SOE upgrades on work laptops.

Mine bricked last week doing a 22H2 upgrade, rolled back, they've said do it again as per apparent industry wide standard support procedures, no investigation of root cause or anytihng. Nope, bricked again today at the exact same spot. Rolling back again so I can ensure everything I need is stored on OneDrive or SharePoint before they rebuild it using the new SOE.

Yay, that means once I finally get this loan laptop feeling normal again by updating a plethora of settings, I can repeat it once I get my laptop back.

You didn't want to do any actual work anyway though right?
