Two of my favorite things (Early Intel Mac edition).

With the talk of the impact of tariffs, I'm wondering if my coffee habits will change. I'm assuming coffee pricing will be impacted--both by tariffs, and also if tariffs result in more inflation. I'd been thinking that I'd like to get an automatic drip maker again, but I might end up deciding on having fewer cups of coffee that are individually brewed. Time will tell...

I would not worry about coffee tho that is expensive these past several years.
im hearing that only huge imports like textile, steel aka goods used for manufacturing, etc will have a percentage hike
as other smaller items like asian coffee, basic foods and even sushinori will be the same price.

what irks me is the some supermarkets hiked up the prices of Canadian goods in February 25%
while Shimano bike parts went up 25% last week from some suppliers who had the parts in stock already.
why a bunch of sad companies they are cheating us like that!

I got some of the Sumatra coffee. It is definitely a big step past the previous coffees.

I was a bit worried that the Giant Rat of Sumatra might have stowed away in the coffee, but those fears were unfounded. LOL

(The Giant Rat of Sumatra was a case that was mentioned in passing in a Sherlock Holmes story.)

It's got a good taste and that's one of the reasons I keep getting it.

Also, we picked up two boxes of Seattles Best Portside Blend (K-cups) a few days ago. Two for one special, so 20 K-Cups for $6. Pretty good deal I thought, and it it turns out that on this particular buy the coffee is stellar.

When my wife and I were first married there wasn't a lot of money, so we learned that there are some cheaper brands that do have decent flavor. One of those is Cafe Lavé, which coincidentally is made by the same company that makes Don Francisco. It's an espresso roast, costs about $6 a can and you can find it usually any place that has Don Francisco.

We put in half the amount we normally do when using this brand (and a few others) because the normal amount simply makes it bitter. Lately, due to finances, we've have to revisit this brand. But it's still good, so we aren't losing anything.

How predictable!

simply makes it bitter.

For me, bitter coffee will go along with my feelings about how expensive everything has gotten!

Every grab of a package of coffee has risen 10¢ since 2022 per month
And the quality decreased 25%!

Sunday morning Mac and coffee…

Peaceful sounds, running a three hour video on Youtube of Cyan's Firmament game. Stationary recording someone did just to get the ambient sounds of the ice and snow for the Juleston realm.

Combined with the Firmament soundtrack playing from Swinsian.



Coffee today is a frequent go to, Peet's Major Dickason's Blend.

That’s a decent coffee, good choice!
