So I finally cleaned out the kitchen cabinet above the sink last Saturday and laid every coffee thing out on the counter. Turns out I own 23 pieces of gear and 14 of them came from thrift stores or dollar stores, like my $3 plastic V60 cone and a $4 milk frother from a Goodwill in Akron. It got me thinking that the cheap hacks I actually use every morning beat the one fancy grinder I saved up for. What is the cheapest piece of gear in your setup that you would never give up?
