| 0:00.0 | over the weekend, my coffee grinder broke. |
| 0:04.5 | And this is, I've never lost a coffee grinder before. |
| 0:08.1 | And I quickly realized this is a single point of failure at my setup, |
| 0:11.6 | because I only have one. I have never, I've never had any reason to have a backup coffee grinder. |
| 0:18.4 | I have many different ways to brew coffee. I have many different, you know, collections of coffee |
| 0:24.2 | beans. I have redundancy everywhere else in the system. But the grinder is a single point of |
| 0:29.2 | failure. And after 12 years of solid use, including the last six years in a highly corrosive |
| 0:36.8 | saltwater air environment, it finally kicked the bucket. And I believe it's the same grinder I have. |
| 0:43.7 | The Baratso Virtuosa. Yeah, I just like, like every single piece of equipment I'm using to record |
| 0:53.4 | this podcast. I just said, what should I buy, Marco, and I bought it. And I have the same coffee grinder, |
| 1:00.8 | which I still love. I don't know what I, you know, I've got more local. And this is nothing |

| 1:21.4 | that are kind of different. And I don't know it like they're different in ways that I'm not sure |
| 1:26.0 | would be better for me. So I actually, I ordered. So first of all, I overnight at a replacement. |
| 1:31.2 | Because I'm like, first of all, this one, you know, it broke on a Sunday. And I'm like, well, |
| 1:36.0 | this is going to be a long time before I can get a coffee grinder in my house. And I could also just, |
| 1:41.1 | you know, go buy pre ground beans, but you know, that's, I'm not going to do that. So I'm lucky, |
| 1:47.4 | though, I, you know, because I live in a beach town and it's the winter, all my neighbors are |
| 1:54.4 | gone for the season. It's basically an abandoned town. And I know my neighbors there. And you know, |
| 1:59.7 | we all have like key to each other's houses. So I actually asked and I was able to go borrow my |
