This is why I got a cheap Aeropress and milk frother. I pay enough for my latte, and the barista makes as much as I do, stop judging me for not tipping. I tip servers, not counter workers.
I don’t mind tipping for any hospitality service, but what I really hate about fast food and cafe tipping is that they often collect payment and push for a tip before the order was made incorrectly.
That’s a good point. I also hate that about food delivery services. I tip my drivers well, but I don’t like that I’m often giving a good tip and not getting good service in return. If I’d have known I was going to get bad service, I would have tipped based on distance only and it would be significantly less.
I’ve had my aeropress for years and have a love/hate relationship with it. I go on streaks that make incredible cups, followed by the worst cups of my life when I inevitably forget the ratios or change grinds. I really do like it and wish I could be a snob but I just settle for my Nespresso (when it isn’t broken and needing warranty replacement, again).
I could but then I wouldn’t be able to justify my irrational need for a new coffee machine.
To be fair though, I’ve written it down and tried that. Maybe it’s my perception that changes or the little unaccounted nuances add up to big differences. Right now, I have a bold Cuban batch from Key West that tastes like burnt plastic no matter the amount of water or brew time.

Do not tip the servers. It scares the sysadmins.

I laughed. Never as bad as spaghetti cabling though.
The spaghetti cabling forms a safety net to cushion the overloaded rack as it pulls away from the cinder block wall

If you don’t get good service on GrubHub or wherever, you just complain to their helpline. They give you refunds.
Honestly I have no issues with 95% of delivery orders. And usually the issue is the restaurant’s fault.
But that blows for the consumer
This.
So counter-intuitive and self-defeating…

You could like, write down the ratio and coffee brand and such
