What are some of the best purchases of your life?
For me it has to be:
- Helix mattress ($1,217). Sleep is great.
- Home gym power cage & weights (~$1,000). Look good, feel good, get strong.
- Netgear Nighthawk AXE7800 ($339). No more random, annoying internet disconnects/slowness.
- Books ($0 @ library)
- "Ultralearning" - Scott Young (how to learn efficiently)
- "Enlightenment Now" - Steven Pinker (the world overall is improving)
- "The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing" - Taylor Larimore (how to invest)
- PS5 ($500). So many great games like witcher 3, god of war, spiderman.
I'm searching for some more deep value purchases. Give me what you've got.

cafelat robot lever espresso machine
- $320 USD
- makes espresso as good as a +$1k machine
- doesn't need descaling
- looks cool
- takes up hardly any bench space
- simple, well engineered, will outlive me
We have super hard water so a $20 coffee grinder and a $30 coffee machine that gets replaced over a year is good enough for me
Caffeine is necessary.
I'm a drip coffee enthusiast, so my Chemex is with me for life. Also got myself the biggest Moka pot money can buy for when I need something more concentrated, but of course it's not the same as real espresso.
That machine looks really interesting! Though it is way too expensive for me. I wonder if there is a (much) cheaper alternative somewhere.
Ever tried a moka pot / perculator? Makes great coffee and pretty cheap
