Coffee Early Access + Notes
Added 2020-09-07 17:38:25 +0000 UTC- There used to be a menswear site called "Four Pins" with a female guest writer who had a column called "The Skirt". One article I was never able to forget was called "How to Date a Girl Without Being a Little Bitch About it", and this video's title is a mental tribute to that post since I haven't been able to find it in years. Got any better title ideas?
- I buy my coffee from Trade. They were my first paid ad, and I actually stuck with the subscription. I didn't want to shout them out here, though. NO FREE SMOKE
- Back in March, my finger was hovering over the mouse ready to click "checkout" on a $500 coffee setup complete with v60 supplies, just because I read online that it was the right move. Luckily I had the foresight to imagine myself going through that ritual every single morning throughout quarantine and settled on an automatic coffeemaker. I hope to prevent someone from doing what I almost did.
- I don't want this video to come off as anti-hobbyist— I think making coffee is a legitimate source of enjoyment for a lot of people. I do also think, however, that the pursuit of accessible luxury is just a different brand of consumerism, and I'm not personally interested in spending too much time at that altar every morning.

As someone with 2 French presses of varying sizes, an aeropress and 2 varying size moka pots, this video wasn’t for me but still wanted to know your take on the matter. Very well reasoned!
