Come on, it's just cooking, not rocket science.

Dude that hits hard, I did the same math last year and nearly choked on my coffee lol. Cutting back to once a week saved me way more than I expected.

Oh whoa hold on now, I gotta say something real quick. The stovetop pot is the moka pot, right? Not trying to be that guy but I see folks mix those up all the time. The pre-boiling trick works for both though, that part is spot on. I actually let my water sit for like 30 seconds off the boil before pouring it in, seems to keep the grounds from exploding everywhere. Makes the whole morning routine a LOT less messy.

@cameron763 bet your feet paid you back for treating them like troopers instead of sponges, huh?

Oh man, that swap meet guy was totally right, I got told my black and whites looked too clinical once and it was the best advice ever.
