The CZickness XXIV In The Afterglow.

The cost of a press and grinder is time, sleep and Alexis won’t drink it. That cost is much higher, I’ll take the Keurig.

There’s not enough cream and sugar in the world that will make that drinkable for me

And don't forget your time. I'm still pulling for the french press and a hand grinder. Press will last forever and the grinder almost as long. How many mornings are you willing to wake up to inferior coffee? What's the cost of that, hmmmm?

I am not a coffee connoisseur but my son goes through phases and I have to agree that a perfectly, ground, pressed and heated cup of coffee from a French press is markedly better.

Bottled water can add up. There's also the cost of idle storage, cleaning, and depreciation. If we work at it, we can get it up to $5 a cup.

Bottled water? Never used it in the Keurig.
Storage? It sits on a table next to the microwave. Only opportunity cost is the espresso/latte machine, which has a larger cost of storage based on previous use.
Cleaning? Never did it. Expected this one to die 3 months ago based on previous experiences.
Depreciation is already factored in, 10 cents a day for 54 months.

I can guarantee given how I treat these machines, $2 a cup would take serious work.

Yup, just like Christmas !

I hope that you find (and win) something on GB that pleases you, Master Chief !

Thank you, sir. I am currently hoping someone else jumps in.

It makes very good coffee.

I just know myself better than to pretend I’ll ever get up in the morning and do that. I’d just skip the coffee.

Bidders remorse. Been there.

I want that! Oh **** what did I just do?

I can say this, a sharpened axe blade would be better than the KAK brace that came on the gun.

I’d have to agree on that. The KAK brace made my 300BO miserable to shoot. The SBA3 turned it into a viable PDW.

I'm going to save this thread: ​CZ, CZ, CZ .....

.....my work here is done !

My work is going nowhere. The server just crashed. Now we sit and wait while IT gets around to fixing it.

When ours died, I replaced it with a Keurig K145 OfficePro and have been happy with it. It’s a bit more spartan but is build better with stronger pumps. It can be a bit noisier but it has run without hiccup for over a year now and the one we have at work is north of 2 years old I believe. That one sees pretty heavy use too.

That pretty much sums up my experience buying the XM177 AR back in January. Running it at the SGE got rid of any buyers remorse though.

Hmmm...I looked at one of the office pro models as well. I’ll look at them again.

Are you pretending to be TSA?

 

[88E30M50]

To get us back on track, I’ve found that my Phantom is a perfect fit for my P07/P09/P10 holster. The holster is a Kramer P07 holster that I requested be left open ended and it now does multi duty that way. The P10C actually fits better than the P07 does since the muzzle of the P07 comes up about a quarter inch short of the nose of the holster and the P10C is a perfect flush fit. The Phantom sticks out about a half inch but that does not interfere with the draw stroke at all.

I’ve begun carrying the Phantom a bit and like how it carries. I’m using the 17 round mags that came with the SP01 in .40 which are a flush fit.

Nope, pretending to be a pilot.

Credit cards are the bane of my existence. Well, that might be overstating it just a tad.

What you drinking?
