    An Ice Cream Maker. Been making my own Ice Cream for years now and its amazing. The cheap machines which requires you to freeze the bowl is nice, but the one with a heat pump built in is amazing. In 3 hours I can make batches of Mint, Chocolate and Vanilla Ice Cream.

      Your physiotherapist and your sleep doc will both agree that watching or reading your phone in bed is a bad idea.

      You may rock out a rebuttal that sounds like “I know driving drunk is bad but I need to”, or so, but your bed is for sleeping and sometimes play-dates.

    My espresso machine. They’re expensive. I do not know why they are, but they are. I hemmed and hawed for years about us getting one and finally decided fuck it. Im an adult, I want one, we can afford it.

    In 2+ years the only times I have not made myself a cappuccino are when I have not been home to do so. It is one of my most used appliances. Espresso owns.

      I suspect they’re expensive because they pull 9-15 bar of pressure. That’s kinda nuts for something that sits on your counter and makes coffee

        I think you meant for something that sits on my counter and turns ground up bean powder into PURE UNADULTERATED JOY ❤️

    I bought a semi professional meat slicer , and a decent dehydrator. Now I make my own beef jerky and saving tons.

      I’ve read several reviews that suggest DIY beef jerky is only slightly cheaper, and it’s a surprising amount of work per pound. The TL;DR of those reviews was that it’s just not worth it.

      Has that not been your experience? I love to eat it but it’s pretty expensive.

        It was a lot of work without the weight tools. It takes me about 5 min to cut meat, prepare marinate … Then next day about 5 min to set dehydrator. The advantages? is variety of flavors, no bs chemical, volume. I buy a full round beef for 30 bucks at Costco and that makes the equivalent of about 70 dlls of packaged beef jerky.

    Bone conducting ear phones, I have tiny narrow ear canals and can’t get any type of ear bud to go in my ears, the bone conductors are a revelation for listening to audio books, radio and music when I’m out and about

    A Blunt Metro umbrella. Makes me happy every time I get to use it. It’s aesthetically pleasing, it oozes quality, it’s easy to bring with you.
