Memes on c/Games - yes or no?

Absolutely no memes please. Right now, r/games is easily the subreddit that I miss the most, and it's because it was entirely news and discussion focused. I sincerely hope I can turn to this community for most of my gaming news, and don't want to see an influx of memes.

Fediverse situation right now

Free speech is speech that is protected from government regulation or persecution. This is a private platform, and therefore Nazis and their speech can fuck right off.

So yeah, they are absolutely to spew their hateful speech without legal repercussions, but we absolutely do not have to let them do so here.

That's what this community really should be about! Having fun with the coffee we have, but having even more fun with the journey to the next best cup. I know I'm constantly trying and learning new things.

V60 is definitely my favorite, but as I continue to collect more gear, I almost feel guilty if I dont go back and use some for a little bit. So I'll go on binges with my French press, the Stagg, chemex, aeropress, aeropress with prismo.

And if either James Hoffman or Lance Hedrick drop a new video highlighting a piece I already have, you better believe I am gonna go back and try what they are suggesting.

I'm thinking of buying the cheapest Nespresso machine

I'd say it really depends on what you are looking for. If you want something that is technically coffee and has mostly dark roast tasting notes, and delivers caffeine in a relatively easy manner, I'm sure Nespresso is gonna do the trick just fine.

If you want to get into the finer nuances of coffee, there are much better options out there. What would you say your budget is, realistically?

French press is just so consistently awesome. It really only makes a bad cup when the beans themselves aren't all that great.

My wife loves the aeropress for her iced lattes. I just use the aeropress with the prismo attachment.

I've been looking at the flair 58 as a potential entry into espresso. I have a JX Pro, which I have read should be serviceable to grind for espresso.

How have the shots been on your 58? Only complaints I've heard are in relation to preheating, anything else that you love/dislike?

I definitely enjoy cold brew, especially during summer, but it generally pretty muted in flavor compared to a pourover or French press. I usually make it when I get a bag of beans that I am a bit disappointed with, as a lot of the underlying tasting notes aren't as present in cold brew and it still allows me to enjoy the coffee.

I mean, heck, I want to get some whip cream canisters and nitrogen canisters to make my own nitro cold brew as another coffee project.
