I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn’t work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.

Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!

It went from stupid purchase to something I’d gladly replace if it broke.

    Not op but I have the baratza encore. Not exactly cheap but could be affordable if you save up. They’re 150 new on Amazon and go for around 80-100 on ebay here in USA. It’s really good too, especially if you stick with coffee only being a casual hobby or even just want your morning coffee to be good and don’t wanna futz with anything else.

    Also an FYI, if you ever do get around to doing espresso, you’ll see a ton of PPL saying you can’t use it for espresso. They are honestly just more enthusiastic about coffee than I am, because I used an online deep cleaning video from Baratza to change the gap between the burrs and it does espresso just fine to my tastes. Like it does well enough that I can’t justify the expense of a better one yet and I’ve had it like 3 years already.

    Obv there are better ones, and there are cheaper ones, but th Encore will just last you a long time in your coffee journey, and potentially forever if you only ever want it to do non-espresso grind sizes
