Attention over time

7-day rolling share of analyzed posts/comments mentioning this entity · 90 daily points ending 2026-08-07

Final complete day: 2026-08-07. Attention was 0.8% — this entity appeared in 6 of 723 analyzed posts/comments in the seven days ending that day (6 mentions).

Each point is a seven-day rolling window of complete UTC days; a point is comparable only when at least 100 analyzed posts or comments fall inside it. A day with no analyzed records counts as zero; missing coverage is marked and never shown as zero. The series ends at the latest complete analyzed day — it never extends into the current incomplete day. How attention is measured.

   The Bodum glass ones are cheap. They break easily and they don't keep the coffee hot. I went through several; it's a matter of time before they have to be replaced. The YETI French Press is metal and insulated. It's durable, non staining, and it keeps the coffee hot. My daughter gave me one for Christmas. I think they're $100. So about the same cost as the five or so Bodums I went through, but much greater satisfaction.

   I have the 12oz Bodum French press with borosilicate glass carafe and single mesh filter. It's dish washer safe. I've had it 10+ years and it looks new, it'll stay looking new unless you knock it off the counter. It makes full body coffee, exactly what I want from a French press. I also have the Poliviar 34oz French press for large batches or when I'm making masala chai from scratch. It's double wall insulated, stainless steel, and has a double mesh filter to reduce sludge left in the cup. It's not dishwasher safe, and double mesh means more parts to clean. I typically use a paper filter bag with this anyway, so the parts only need a soapy rinse. Apart from insulation, the differences are how much body you get, how much sludge you get, and ease of cleaning. I have tested numerous and not found a clear correlation with price. In a taste test, $110 Yeti was on par with the $40 Bodum in body, grittiness, and flavor. The $150 Espro is on par with the $40 Poliviar, a little cleaner than the Bodum but still a little grit. The $100 Fellow is the smoothest, but it's so filtered it starts losing that body I want in a French press and overlaps with my $30 Aeropress.

   My comments pertain to hand grinders because that’s all I’ve ever used. I went from a $50 Timemore C2 to a $250 1ZPresso KMax. Definitely noticed more consistency across multiple brews. Also the convenience is nice— the clicks are labeled more clearly and easier to keep track of. The magnetic catch cup is nice. Overall the build quality is nice and feels better in the hand. It’s a little easier on the wrists because of the ergonomics and, I’m guessing, because of the sharper burrs. As far as flavor improvements, it’s a small-to-modest improvement for pourover (V60, Kalita) and and very subtle improvement for immersion (clever dripper, aeropress, etc). The range of capabilities is nice— the KMax can grind fine enough for espresso, which the C2 could not. But there are cheap grinders that can grind for espresso, although the larger jump in grind size between clicks probably makes it harder to dial in for espresso. Overall I’d say the entry level stuff (Timemore C2 or C3, KinGrinder P2) are perfectly good for anyone who’s happy with a nice daily cup of immersion brewed coffee. If you’re chasing small improvements (like as a hobby) and don’t mind shelling out an extra $200, then upgrading is probably worth it. But if I’m talking to a beginner who’s just like “hey I wanna drink better coffee than the same KCups or drip machine + pre-ground coffee I’ve been drinking for years” I always tell them just to get a kettle, an Aeropress, and an entry level hand grinder. Buy some decent beans and grind them fresh, a you’ll brew an amazing cup of coffee with a setup that’s around $100 and barely any learning curve whatsoever.

   It's kinda fun. I think the best part is that the leftovers from every ordered batch are my home beans, so I've got enough coffee in the kitchen at any given time to play around with my own blends, or making stupid amounts of cold brew concentrate, or trying out all the latest pourover trends. As a business, it's a bit brutal. Margins are stupid. You can make a profit without a ton of effort (like, $100/quarter) but if you want to get into actual money, like paying yourself minimum wage or making enough to pay rent/groceries, then you have to invest significant amounts of cash in hardware and beans. I'm running at the minimum size to make a profit, and my green bean costs alone are over $1000/month with a minimum order of $3k not counting shipping. I've usually managed to save up enough to place the next bean order when I'm down to two weeks of beans. So far I've managed not to dip into savings and to pay back a portion of the startup costs, but...If I was serious about doing this for a living, I'd want probably $100k for startup, and another $50k for operating in the six months, and a dozen wholesale customers. As it is, I spent \~$10k to get started, which is SUPER cheap for starting a business, but like I said, it's more of a hobby that pays for itself at this scale. I work maybe 10hrs a week on it and have an excuse to go into town and drink my own coffee at a cafe once a week. And that is not a bad thing.

   I've never felt ridiculous hand grinding my coffee at work, I did it for over 4 years. It's also not very loud compared to an electronic grinder. In fact, for me hand grinding my coffee has always been a conversation starter, other people always ask about it, and that tends to start a continued conversation. And hand grinding coffee keeps me in the kitchen longer than I usually would be, so it gives me more chances for social situations than I normally would from otherwise sitting at my desk. Heck, I've made numerous friends at work from them bumping into me while I've been hand grinding my coffee. But maybe your work folk are less interested, idk. How hot is the water from the coffee machine? If it's at least 170-180F, that's good enough for me. Worst case you can microwave water, just be very careful. Heck, ask if your office is willing to provide or make space for a permanent counter top electric water heater; my last hole in the wall startup had one, can buy for a out or less than $100 I think and provides hot water for people to have tea or coffee through the day, and people just have to top it off with water occasionally for it to heat up. There's many kinds you can get, but here's one example: link. You might find your co-workers very appreciative you pushed for your office to buy/make room for one; you just have to be happy with the water temperature people settle on, heh. Unless you really want to fight over water temperature. Some water dispensers do hot and cold, does your office have a hot water heater you were unaware of?
