Thank you. Is the aeropress fussy about water temperature? I really don't want to have to buy an electric kettle with temperature settings. What I mean to say is that I'd prefer not to.

Thank you all so much. You've been so helpful. I have read, and I remember from back when I was a coffee snob, that the quality of the beans, and having them freshly ground coffee is primary. I’m just looking for a method that’s not overly complicated. I would prefer something similar to cold brew, since that’s my favorite (for now). I’m the only coffee drinker in the house. If only the cold brew method didn’t use so much coffee. It’s unbelievable to me how much it uses.

Back in my college and grad school days, I used to make coffee and drink it like it was going out of style. Recently, I’ve been enjoying it once more. I don’t want to keep buying coffee drinks. I’d like to make coffee that actually tastes good, and is hopefully not overly complicated, or too much of a production. This week, I just started making cold brew, without any equipment other than a coffee grinder. It’s delicious and I love it. I could do this forever. The only problem is: the cost. Cold brew needs a lot of beans to get a relatively small amount. So sadly, cold brew may be more of a treat than a regular, daily thing. We live outside the U.S. and will be visiting briefly again very soon. I’d like to order or buy whatever I need, since options are limited here. I’d appreciate any thoughts or tips. Right now, I’m considering an Aeropress, but I’m open to options. I was considering the French Press, but read that it’s a pain to clean. Other options, the Moka Pot or the Pourover. I’ve been doing a bit of research, but due to time limitations (we are leaving in a few days), I feel overwhelmed.

I wanted to share that we’ll be in Miami next week. Just visiting for a week. We haven’t left the Caribbean in over three years. I can’t wait to be inside a Costco, Target, etc. I can’t wait to be in a developed country. I really can't wait to browse in a bookstore.

Face Yoga didn't do anything for me. When I have money, I'd love to get Kybella done. Don't know much about it. I know that it's permanent, and not plastic surgery.

Thank you for the thread, Robin. I read September - 3 Stars “If you cannot read all your books, at any rate handle, or as it were, fondle them – peer into them, let them fall open where they will, read from the first sentence that arrests the eye, set them back on their shelves with your own hands, arrange them on your own plan so that if you do not know what is in them, you at least know where they are. Let them be your friends, let them at any rate be your acquaintances.” – Winston Churchill
