Even on a shoestring budget you can get far. My equipment:

10 euro ‘grinder’ 30 euro moka pot (bialetti) Decent beans (segafredo, lavazza) about 10 euro per kilo (on offer), lasts my family about a month.

I like late macchiato, which in my case is about 2 thirds milk heated in the micro, 1 third coffee.

I know the above will horrify real coffee enthusiasts, but I can tell you it’s a lot better than starbucks, and a lot cheaper too.

Not OP, but I do that with wireguard.

I can also recommend the first law trilogy, just finished it. There’s actually some standalone books and a second trilogy in that world, i’m reading ‘best served cold’ now which is also excellent and features some characters from the trilogy. Can’t wait to read the rest and dread the day i read them all.

I hear good stories about vimm’s lair
