Before it was always so sandy and icky yucky so I would buy a french press. Now, I got the brand of coffee with a course grind so it doesn't fall through my fine mesh strainer too much and shittify my coffee—side note, 'enshittify' feels overwrought; 'shittify' would already mean 'to become shit'—so now I get to sit high on my horse for not needing another unitasker in my itty bitty baby sized kitchen. AND I get to drink good coffee while I do it.

One of my thought experiments is to envision the minimum set of cooking supplies I would need to make all of my repertoire of foods. The only 'extras' that feel really essential to me are my pressure cooker and a peeler.

Recently, my whisk broke again and I got a new one that's just a single piece of metal from the secondhand shop. I really like it a lot. I want to get a little chef hat and a fake moustache so I can really get into my little chefy vibes. The only thing I miss about starting laser hair removal is I cannot have a little rakish moustache every once in a while. I teach little guys so sometimes I would wear a mask for a week and come back with a moustache and whenever I wear a mask my students are like 'oooooh what they got cookin' under there?'

What are your kitchen bugboos? What are the 'frivolous' things you will defend doing/having?

If you're worried about breaking something, you could get a cezve/ibrik or a mokapot, either of those are pretty indestructible. But that might not work with your workflow for french press, since these are stovetop

I think the glass is very pretty and I can find them or $5-10 at the thrift store usually. Although this is starting to become like the discworld bit about the boots...
