what we remember

we don't make coffee in my house. partly because i'm a tea person who consumes coffee for cultural convenience, but also (at his insistence) to make C think before consuming coffee.* mostly it means that drinking coffee is expensive and we do it anyway.

we've been talking about moving to making our own coffee for economy. the people who make our favorite insulated mugs are doing a kickstarter for a pour-over set. seems like a slam-dunk to me, so i send the link to C and he says "if we can find a good reusable filter".

*blink* *blink* *blink*

that's great, and i agree.

but this is from the dude who asked to get disposable tea bags for the loose-leaf tea because he hates cleaning leaves out of the tea balls or the french press. when i brought up how unlikely he was to care for a reusable filter based on the tea experience, he swore that was never a thing. i've been annoyed about how wasteful the disposable tea bags are for literal years. great, we can stop using the fucking tea bags since we have always been at war with Eastasia. wish i had found this out before i ordered a new package of them.
