It's easy to let myself go crazy on Russian Rover Brewing logo'd stuff but I managed to hold the line at a pair of Elder glasses (to drink Elder in of course) an Elder hat and of course a few Younger tee shirts and a Younger hat.

When they released the logo'd hydroflask I caved - bought it at the brewery. Perfect for drinking water all day long.

I think Contigo needs to get a nod since it's inexpensive at Costco

But yes, the Yeti is brilliant and as mentioned, DISHWASHER approved both lid and vessel. That makes it really easy to clean well

As you alluded to at the start, lean into the pretentiousness. Embrace the power of the dark side - aeropress, pour over at desk, etc. Life is better for it.

I tend to gather a crowd using my porlex hand grinder in the lunchroom too!

My normal methods are aeropress or pour-over and I am nothing if not a coffee snob, so I dragged the electric kettle, porlex, aeropress and 1/4 lb of Yirgacheffe into work today. I had a fantastic cup at work, and I convinced three co-workers to at least try the dark side of the force. I think they’re converts. Our in-house safety guy gets back from a field job in a month, so he will probably shut the electric kettle thing down, but until then, cheers!

Thanks for all the advice, everyone!

Pretentious snobs.

If one of these + Safari coffee was good enough for so many American office drones, it ought to be good enough for you.

Like most North American kids, I grew up with the smell of putrid coffee that sat on a burner for 8hrs so I detested the smell of coffee when I was young.

My ex-girlfriend’s quebecois mom drank lattes and smoked all day and convinced me to try one of her two vices. I quickly realized good coffee was a wonderful thing and I’ve never looked back, both on my decision to ditch my girlfriend or my decision to adopt coffee as my most beloved vice.

That Bunn coffee maker brings back so many memories of childhood - even seeing the brand makes me laugh for some reason...

The Kleen Canteen coffee bidon I have has a top that...

*doesn't leak
*comes apart easily

Every Friday when I get home from work I take the top apart for a "better" cleaning...super easy to do...

Hand grinder + pour over while going through the morning’s email on my phone.

I get weird looks from engineers who are filling their cups with industrial swill. I don’t care. I drink less coffee, but it’s much better coffee.

Per above, I'm on your team now. A single really good cup is probably better for my kidneys than the 4 hour caffeine drip of swill I'd be doing otherwise.

How are you heating your water?

Sidenote - since Contigo was mentioned....

If you have kids and use the Contigo kids bottles, please see that they just recalled 6M+ for choking hazard....
