Depends on whether you consider a Flair a “machine” I guess… But yeah, I would agree you’re probably better off with a moka pot than most $150 or less espresso machines. For $150 budget to make strong coffee with milk type drinks, I’d recommend most folks get a moka pot and milk frother.

Mine also finds my phone, it’s primary use.

Because they’re planning on replacing it with something else that I’m pretty sure will be even shittier. And they’re giving barely no notice before ripping out the rug under people. Nothing is so shitty it can’t get shittier.

Yeah… I mean, we on one hand, we now grow plenty of food to feed almost 8 billion people, cured polio, greatly extended lifespan all over the globe… But on the other hand (waves hand at everything).

Eternal growth on a finite planet ain’t possible, but capitalism demands it. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
