My Sock Drawer Smells Like Guatemala

This morning I tried grinding beans directly in the filter basket because I was too lazy to clean the grinder. It didn’t work. But it did make me think: maybe chaos is underrated.

Here’s a bunch of stuff I clicked instead of being productive:

If you haven’t seen this burr grinder deep dive, you’re still in the pre-grind era of your life.

This Guardian piece on “essential” coffee gear made me feel both seen and judged.
These AeroPress & xBloom gadgets are the kind of things I’ll buy and use once, then blame for my problems.
