This morning I was making a coffee, I ground some beans into the portafilter and was pushing it with the tamper (in my hands...) and it slipped, tamper pushed down on one side, ground beans shot out the other, and in the chaos everything went flying. I had ground beans spread across most of the kitchen, and I found the portafilter in the fruit bowl next to the bananas. It all took quite some time to clean up.

Sounds like you should've had a coffee before you made your coffee 😁

😅 At least I managed to make another coffee successfully afterwards!

I see some of us don't have to worry about the cost of living crisis

Glad to hear that you did finally manage to get a coffee

Yep, very lucky I can continue to afford coffee. Though maybe not the coffee I want to have. $65 for 200g is a little too steep for me.

just not butter for the toast, 64% price increase in the last year

Hmm, just had a search and can't find any less than $8.49 for a block. It doesn't feel that long ago that the warehouse had their $5 loss leader butter.

I swear I've regularly seen it for $6.XX even recently.
