Probably boxed up by a clanker, as long as the weight matches, it's good to go.
As an aside, I have that coffee maker and love it! See if there's a local coffee shop, here in my city it was stocked and they even let me try a cup from there
Oh as an aside, the coffee comes out SUPER weak at the beginning, where I thought it was broken. Give it 20-30 shots/cups and it'll start tasting more normal. I've had mine for 3 years now and love it
If you are not boycotting that Evilcorp, you had it coming.
I'm getting better at it. Unfortunately still end up getting a lot drop shipped from them.
I feel you.
I'm personally trying to avoid Emag, a romanian online shitstore.
I recently gave in and bought a G203 mouse from them because it was the best price. Little did I know it was the best price because it was being sold by a shady minimum-capital foreign company from France, and was clearly counterfeit... It didn't even connect to the Logitech Software and the quality was terrible. I filed an ECC and Romanian consumer protection complaint and swore to never buy from their shitty site again.
Nowadays I look products up on Emag then search them separately to find better vendors to buy from, lol.
Im assuming you eat raspberries farmed by migrant workers making below minimum wage
Sure, the “there is no ethical consumption under capitalism” whataboutism. It isn’t any individual person’s fault for being forced to participate in capitalism. But it is their fault for not taking reasonable steps to minimize their harm. The difficult part of the conversation is that every single person will have a different definition of what “reasonable” means. For some, it means avoiding the obviously evil megacorps. On the other end of the spectrum, some may think it essentially means going capitalist-vegan and reverting back to scavenging and subsistence farming in their parents’ back yard.
You can just get your money back from Amazon. In my experience they just refund you. In my case the product was missing and it was worryless.
did you consider someone sending you that intentionaly with the hope that the outside box reaches you in not pristine condition and you ust blame the dispatcher?
Was my comment about instant too infuriating, it had to be deleted?
Weirdly I can see your blasphemous comment about instant 'coffee' in your history, linked to this post, but it doesn't show up in the comments here. I suspect it's because it's been voted down to -30.
In answer to the assertion you made about coffee being all the same, I say: you heathen! You Philistine! You non-appreciator of tasty coffee! If you like instant, that's one thing, but many feel (as do I) that instant isn't a patch on properly roasted, ground, and brewed coffee.
Nope its still there. Your still a snob too!
Being called an instant coffee snob is pretty cool, thank you
Lol I just found it funny. I know a few people, mostly people from Mexico, that prefer instant. It's weird but all the power to ya. The only crappy thing about it is that it's harder to avoid nesco and similarly evil companies when you do that.
Lemmy can still see the comment, a piefed thing I guess?
Must be. Carry on then
Hard to blame the Amazon worker though, they don't get paid enough to care.
That's where you're wrong. If they don't get paid enough to care, they need to find employment somewhere that they'll actually do the job they're being paid to do.
Just buy instant.
What do you need all that technology for? It's coffee.
Maybe I'm snobbish, but instant vs drip vs French press vs americano all taste different and Americano is so much better it was this or a bialetti moka express. My wife said she'd never use the stove top one and I've made over 10,000 espresso shots so far, so I'd wager I would have eventually caved in and bought a super automatic anyways. It may have paid for itself in electricity tbh.
Instant coffee tastes nothing like freshly brewed.
Although I agree that the overcomplicated coffee machines with wasteful pods are ridiculous. Just use one of these, simple to use, portable and great coffee every time:

There are tons of ways to make coffee and each tastes slightly different and some beans are better suited to be prepared in different styles. If people wanna enjoy coffee in a certain style, just let them. It’s fine that you like instant coffee but others might wanna prepare their coffee differently.
Brewed is a bit more healthier than instant and you can support local roasters over the corporate-owned ones.
I'm far from a coffee snob, but instant tastes awful compared to even preground prepackaged coffee
So you say in a different comment this was a joke. You seem to have no idea how jokes work.
