Not really but we occasionally refer to it as "Big Black" for obvious reasons.

The best coffee I've ever drank was from Aeropress but honestly, if you use freshly ground beans on a Moccamaster they're quite difficult to tell apart.
I don't wish to kill anyone and reading these comments makes me sick.
It’s not to protect it from cracking - it’s to stop the leftover coffee from burning onto it, since I only rinse it after use.
I don't waste good coffee.
It's intentional. Leaves an air gap between the pot and the hotplate.
When I make coffee just for myself, I always measure out the same amount of water and this never happens. But my SO is slightly less autistic about it than I am and makes inconsistent amounts when brewing for the two of us - and I just can’t stand the thought of pouring even a drop of coffee down the drain. So, I spill it on the table and floor instead.
I live in a small granny cottage and "my desk" means the kitchen table 2.5 meters away. I technically could move it to my desk and it would still remain in the kitchen.
The level of consciousness in something like a brain parasite or a slug is probably so dim that it barely feels like anything to be one. So even if you were reincarnated as one, you likely wouldn’t have much of a subjective experience of it. The only way to really experience a new life after reincarnation would be to come back as something with a complex enough mind to actually have a vivid sense of existence. Not that it matters much - it’s not like you’d remember any of your past lives anyway.
If reincarnation were real and I had to bet money on how it works, I’d put it down to something like the many‑worlds interpretation of quantum physics - where being “reborn as yourself” just means living out one of your alternate timelines in a parallel universe.
Or maybe I just need to start drinking straight from the jug.
Moccamaster is relatively popular brand where I live. Most people know about it. It always boggles my mind when I see a middle class family with a 35€ coffee maker. Why cheap out on something you're using multiple times a day for the rest of your life? These things are not that expensive and spare parts are widely available.
I wish I had Elon Musk money so I could buy this platform and turn it back to pictures only with the main focus on professional and hobbyist photographers - not pictures of food and selfies. It used to be one of the few social media platforms I actually liked.
