Bad? Who’s to say. Specialty coffee is 100% Arabica and Arabica is more expensive to source, so, regardless of preference, I’m surprised by “100% the cheap stuff” marketing.
Opinions are my own. Profile picture description: Black on white pictogram with a D20 showing 20 for a head and a game controller for a body and arms, holding a white cane.

I think it’s an attempt to introduce apparent differentiation at a low price-point. I’m curious about future developments.
I love acidic specialty coffee that tastes like you squeezed half a lemon into the cup, but I also enjoy bolder, more classically intense coffee.
My main point isn’t so much about people’s different preferences, but the way companies seem to be pushing towards one end of the preference spectrum bit because of its value, but because of the cost and margins.
Or “How Signal is closer in functionality to WhatsApp by the day, because it turns out people like the functionality of WhatsApp.”
I was thinking about how this would happen and I remembered when signing up for services using Google login, I’d always get a list of information the website would have access to, including the name listed under the Google account. When I didn’t consent to that, I went back.
Now, is there a line somewhere between strictly getting a user’s consent and the user having an expectation of privacy? Yes, and they may have landed on the wrong side of it.
Suffice it to say, this is one of the reasons I prefer to sign up with an email address.
Risks that are already described.
The headline does it’s job getting clicks by making it sound like reviewers names may already be public.
I’m looking at it from a perspective of intentionality. Careless? Definitely. A risk ? For sure. But the situation is still not as the title implies.
If I’m reading this correctly, they’re adding your name to your site profile, but that’s not visible and is not linked to your reviews.
That specificity makes the situation much less terrifying than the title alone would imply.
“Slightly better than gas station coffee.” Living the dream!
Hey, you can cross-post this to rblind.com!
I already have that, I have the Fellow filter and pressure valve thing. It’s actually pretty good for the kind of coffee I most often like and makes for a cool workflow.
It’s pretty funny that it’s more expensive than the AeroPress itself.
But now how will I satisfy my Gear Acquisition Síndrome?
I’m glad you’re happy with it though.
Very interesting. I’ve considered getting one of these, but I’m not sure it would make enough of a difference for the AeroPress.
You were absolutely right! It’s been a while, huh? WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger are gatekeepers and WhatsApp is supposed to open up based on the Signal Protocol. I guess we’re settling on that.
Some other Central and Eastern European ones are weird as well.
How are you liking the Brexit expansion? I felt like was overhyped and overrated.
Presumably you’re a UK citizen using .uk in accordance with the controlling entity’s terms and conditions. These folks weren’t in the same boat.
With this headset’s personalized design, it would probably be uncomfortable for a lot of people to wear one that wasn’t made for them. I’m sure Apple never considered what a shame it would be for each person to have to buy their own…
Either way, other headsets would likely be better for these retail style use cases.
I have many questions. I won’t ask them and I don’t want the answers, but I have many questions.
There’s room for preference, I can enjoy a dark roast blend, but they seem to be really leaning into it these days.
