Hi there.
Get a plunger gun. They’re the only household available item that actually works reliably and doesn’t put dangerous chemicals in the sewage.

How do you not own a bucket? I'm seriously intrigued.

Also this makes espresso, no?

No, that makes Moka.

Espresso specifically refers to an extraction method where you force high pressure water (typically about 9 bar) at high temperatures (95°C) through relatively fine powder (16g for a double shot) for about 30 seconds.

The objective there is to extract more oils. You get relatively little coffee but with an intense aroma.

Moka is also pretty intense, but much more bitter. It also doesn't extract many oils.

Tbh., if I want a full cup of joe I go for the French Press or Aeropress with a fairly light roast instead. Moka often tastes off because it is too hot.

I have an intense hatred for office coffee made with those disgusting office coffee machine where boiling water slowly drips into the same few g of coffee, then stays on the heating plate for hours.

Randler go to DM or Rossmann and buy a Rohrfrei. Don't buy the Eigenmarke poo poo but get the stuff in the red bottle called rorax.

It will dissolve anything in your sink.
Pour it in before you go to bed and it's done in the morning. DON'T use it during the day, you don't want to inhale that poo poo because you have to pee.

I got a Hario V60, a gooseneck kettle (a cheap one I can put on the stoclve) and a good hand-cranked grinder. I don't drink much coffee, but that stuff tastes considerably better than anything I can get from a coffee chain or what my parents drink every morning. Making good coffee on a budget is possible.

But seriously, everybody should do what you think is best for yourself, spend, save etc. Just make sure you are happy with your decision. It isn't really about how much money you make, it is much more important you use it in a way that makes you happy.

I have literally no idea what to do with my money because Things don't make me happy. I don't need a powerful car, I don't need a coffee machine. What I want is the certainty that I don't have to worry.

that was me for the last decade and a half until sixth month ago, putting almost half of my wages into the rainy day fund and not doing much else but work. but the sudden death of my mom acctually made me realise the worst thing in life is not death but not having lived. so i'll try something else for a bit now.

Spirale is old school. The real Rohrreinigungs Chad uses a pressure washer with a Rohrsonde.

But no really I am curious whatever horror is clogging up randlers sink now.

Please look up how to use one before you do that though. Our upstairs neighbor managed to break his Spirale while it was behind our toilet and just left it in the wall. A couple of months later our toilet was so clogged you couldn't even be pömpeled or spiraled anymore since those don't actually remove a huge metal cable blocking everything. Eventually a Klempner with a camera you can shove into the pipe had to come just to diagnose the problem, because the person who normally manages everything in the building was so baffled by it.

to me a car means freedom to go where i want wherever i want, visitng friends, going to the mountains or visit distant family members.

before that i drove a 14yo mitsubishi that died on me every third time i wanted to drive somewhere.

so my new car is cool and i like sitting in it doing the vrrm vrrm noises

For the driving pleasure alone you are propably better off just getting a Subaru BRZ / Nissan 370 Z. Let's be honest if you buy a German car at that pricepoint you do it for ze Premiumfaktor.

Also yeah Motorrad will offer you another league of driving experience for a small fraction of the cost and upkeep.

Nothing wrong with any of that though in my opinion. The worst decision is spending a ton of money on something you don't need and also don't like.

After spending the last months in lockdown, we did a trip in the car this week. During the lockdown I've hardly been anywhere that I didn't walk to (I walk a lot). Being able to just see the city and countryside move over the windscreen, and getting from one city to another in basically no time gave me an appreciation why there is this Boomer romanticism about cars and freedom and what not. Imagine you came of age in buttfuck nowhere, being unable to go anywhere that isn't church or the village shop. Then you get a car and boom fossils are converted into freedom

Get one with ceramic insides, they supposedly grind far more evenly and don't burn the beans. If you're making coffee for yourself and occasionally someone else, a manual one is just fine. I got a Hario Skerton. It's absolutely suited for beginners, seeing that I'm a beginner and manage to make decent cups with it.
