Come on, it's just a parking meter. Missing one appointment isn't the end of the world, stuff like that happens. Machines break sometimes, it's not some personal glitch in the universe. I mean, it's annoying, but not exactly a major crisis.

Nostalgia in a cup. What got you into trying new brew methods? For me, it was after I had a bad cup of diner coffee and thought there had to be better ways. I started with a French press, which was a big change. Then I moved on to pour over, like using a Chemex. Now I'm even messing around with cold brew setups. It's fun to see how each method changes the taste.
