Happy 4/20 everyone! I recently started drinking coffee in the last year after never really liking it. Growing up I would try my mom's coffee every once in a while but it always tasted burnt and bitter. Looking back I realize that I didn't like that coffee due to my mom usually steeping it in a French press for 15-20 minutes.

I got into coffee in the last year due to my roommate who worked as a barista making me some and it being actually flavorful. But we were using a drip coffee machine and it wasn't strong enough for my liking. Before I actually started drinking coffee I liked to watch coffee gadget reviews cause I thought they were interesting? Which is how I found out about the aeropress which is my way I make my coffee in the morning.

The aeropress is kind of a three one thing cause it's a pour over, French press and manual espresso machine all in one, in addition I use a hand crank burr grinder to grind my beans and typically only add a bit of creamer as I want to taste the coffee as much as possible I also usually use medium roast beans.

How do you take your coffee/tea?

I see. I'll have to do some more research to understand any of this. Thank you so much for your help thus far!

If youd rather have a doctor or NP or whatever in real lifen o go with you with HRT, thats fine and understandable! No shame. People suggest DIY because it gets you to hormones faster.

Yeah, I think I was jumping the gun a bit anyway. I have no income and don't have disability benefits yet, and I'm having trouble finding a job that I could actually do. I have some saving, but it's probably unwise to start spending all this on HRT when there's no guarantee I'll even be able to continue getting it. Waiting for the claim to go through is probably my best bet whether I go Plume or DIY. I just wan' it nao!
