Starred with plain vi but I just calculated I’ve been using Vim for nearly half of my life.

I found the new r/espresso at least: https://infosec.pub/c/espresso

I think the original AeroPress packaged with the accessories is a good starter kit for a new user who may be completely new to coffee. When I needed to replace my old one this year (too much wear and tear) I costed buying replacement parts vs getting a completely new one snd it wasn’t much of a difference… but now I have two funnels, two scoops, two filter holders. Though as someone else commented, increasing the price and also removing the extras doesn’t sound right. Having the option to buy only the AeroPress (and pay less) would have been my preference.

Having said that, the accessories are versatile. I use the scoop to transfer beans from the bag/tin to the dosing cup for weighing, and the funnel fits almost perfectly on top of my grinder.

That’s the Fellow Prismo, which prevents drip without inverting and also adds a little pressure (AeroPress have also recently released the Flow Control cap which aims to do the same but is apparently not as reliable). I don’t trust myself to try inverted. I got a Prismo after I left my filter cap at a B&B and the first coffee shop I went to didn’t have spare caps but did have Prismos. Never looked back. I add a regular paper filter above the Prismo’s metal filter so the coffee is less muddy. I’ve also rediscovered Fellow’s “espresso” recipe for the Prismo which does come kind of close to real espresso.

Unrelated to the video, but I was just (belatedly) scrolling the community suggestions thread wondering whether it was too late to suggest a coffee community – I’m happy to see that delicious beverages can be discussed here.

The niche I haven’t found on Lemmy yet is coffee – we don’t need to replicate a subreddit for every brew method, but I’d love to have a general community for coffee bean reviews and brewing tips.

Lemmy or at least Beehaw tends to favour more general communities; I wouldn’t mind seeing a general notetaking/pkm/digital garden community where we can share our high-level methods and philosophies without getting too deep into specific software issues.

My introduction to online communities was through listservs and Usenet in the early days of the eternal September (1993-1994). I begrudgingly joined various corporate social media platforms to keep up with friends and family; thought that Reddit (a decade ago anyway) carried some of the spirit of old Usenet but knew a centralised corporate platform would eventually start eating its users. I’m hopeful that the various manifestations of the fediverse will gradually turn the tide of the internet back towards decentralisation.

I dithered over whether to use the slightly anonymous handle that I’ve used on Reddit and a few other platforms, or a less anonymous one that I’ve used in more places – ended up choosing the one that I’ve used on Mastodon accounts among many others.

IRL I alternately call myself a professional filer and a professional queer, as I work for an LGBTIQ+ archive. Politics, literature, and tech seem to be well covered here; I think the communities I’ll miss the most from Reddit are the ones devoted to coffee and stationery.
