        I’d probably categorize the keurig as a liberal machine rather than the one where you have to grind, distribute, and tamp your beans.

        (But also, my god yes- the flair is fantastic if you can handle the thermal management prior to coffee making. Highly recommend)

          Yea, I agree, though one could argue having the money and time for an automatic machine and espresso machine is pretty Labor Aristocracy, haha.

          That being said, I’m a huge fan of my Flair 58, no annoying thermal management issues (for the most part) and great turbos.

            I liberated my Rancilio Silvia from a relative who decided their covid hobby wasn’t as satisfying as they thought lol. But I still prefer espresso from my Flair most of the time since the Silvia still needs to be PID modded to have decent thermal management.

            I swear if I end up getting the 58, I deserve to be thrown into the ocean. I initially bought the Neo, then sold it for the classic, then replaced the brew head with the pro brew head and pressure gauge.

              Hahaha, it’s the never ending climb. I went straight for the 58 from a pour over setup because I truly can’t trust myself not to upgrade to it. The hand grinding is getting old though… the Zerno is calling my name but my wallet is desperately fighting back.

    “Hoxhaist” is a term you made up and you can’t convince me otherwise

    Pairing Trotsky with a consumerist product is an insult. It would be shared instant coffee at the Slabs, and everyone drinking it would say the other coffee was stolen.

    Neoliberal is going to Starbucks. Neoconservative is going to Starbucks and yelling at the hispanic barista.

    Everyone knows the true test of a person’s character is the consistency of their grinder, not the brewer. (please don’t look on my kitchen countertop- it’s full of almost all of these and a single hand grinder. My forearm is crying for help)

          You get it. I refuse to put effort/time into making coffee when Krönung instant tastes so good. If you first mix it with a little cold water before pouring hot it tastes even better.

    Posadism attempts to introduce elements of ufology into Marxist thought.

    WTF?

    …Arguing that only communism can allow the development of interplanetary travel.

    I’d argue that the infrastructure we need to colonize other worlds is going to require larger organized population than capitalism can provide.

    But as a reader that sees ideologies as starting points (that need to be developed so as to create a pathway to post-scarcity), I can’t say what the corruption-light system is that will allow for interplanetary colonization and trade.

    The fabricator IRL would be late-game magitech that manipulates huge amounts of energy. (A fabrication failure could annihilate a continent). Far, far, sooner, we’ll have the food-printer / turbolift system of Star Trek TOS to deliver us our custom-made coffee.

    Meanwhile, in 2024, we’re having a tough time escaping the gravity of fascism-driven autocracy.
