[03:47] IsambardPrince Usually about 10%, for now. [03:48] IsambardPrince Sometimes more. [03:48] IsambardPrince It seems like the stores are spreading it around and maybe eating a small bit of it. [03:48] IsambardPrince Suppliers are already making changes. [03:49] IsambardPrince The tea I like, they made a $1 price hike to that and removed the "stay fresh" plastic wrap, which was always stupid anyway.

[03:53] IsambardPrince All the per egg prices were wrong, and the lowest per egg price was 37 cents per egg if you bought 30.

[06:58] IsambardPrince You can clean it every day but some starts sticking to the carafe anyway. You don't really notice for months, but the dirty water with the Cascade in it turns brown after a couple weeks. Black if it's been 6-12 months. [06:59] IsambardPrince After a while it's so caked on you don't think anything will work, but the automatic dishwasher gel's got enzymes that break the sludge apart. ● Apr 19 [07:00] IsambardPrince My grandmother's coffee machine had such bad coffee sludge in it, it made coffee taste bad no matter how well you hand washed it. [07:00] IsambardPrince I want the taste of what I just brewed, not what's been caking on there for years. [07:00] IsambardPrince Then there's descaling of the element. Do that every month or so. [07:00] IsambardPrince When you look down there and don't see shiny metal, descale it. [07:01] IsambardPrince If you don't, it'll slow down and the brew temperature drops. Several degrees is really all you need to go from piping hot to tepid and bitter (underextracted). [07:02] IsambardPrince Most people with an auto drip machine just badly neglect it until it's time to throw it away and buy a new one when it's much cheaper to just maintain it.

I said "Why do you need six coffee makers?" [07:04] IsambardPrince She told me "They're $9.98 during back to school so when the city tap water plugs one up I just throw it in the trash and plug in a new one!" She couldn't break Dave of pouring unfiltered tap wateer with a TDS hardness rating of about 600 PPMs directly into the machine, and nobody ever descaled them, so they only lasted 2-3 months and then she'd pitch it and plug in a new machine. [07:05] IsambardPrince In some ways I welcome tariffs. We'll see how many people want to throw away a coffee maker every 2 months when the cheapest they get is like $30. [07:07] IsambardPrince You really have to watch every part of the brew process. It's a lot more than getting good coffee. That's only one part. Even store brand coffee is acceptable if you mind the other parts of the process which are far cheaper to control for. Brew time and temperature, cleanliness, input water quality. [07:09] IsambardPrince Water quality is a big one. Bad water = bad coffee. You really want to aim for no more tham about 150 ppm water hardness. 100-170 is acceptable. The 600 that comes out of mom's tap is basically unfit for drinking. It will ruin appliances. [07:10] IsambardPrince You want most of those to be Calcium Carbonate and Magnesium. [07:11] IsambardPrince Many people do not use the right water filters. If your tap isn't very bad, a simple Brita standard filter may work okay. If it's bad to the point it's plugging up the more expensive water filters, you can use an on top carbon block.
