1k Mid and upper models of Flair Espresso maker are plastic free in the brewing areas and around $400-500. Tradeoff is it’s manual but that is just more proof of work. Pair with a metal hot water kettle and you’re all set.

420 Mother fuckers who mutilate themselves are weird as fuck and obviously have mental health problems! I mean I’ve had anxiety and depression before, but I would rather get fucked up or knock somebody out who’s a wise ass than mutilate my own body lmao!🤣I mean now I would just use plant medicine and meditate, but either way they are definitely mentally unhealthy.
