Kino. Criterion is too common.
I got 3 Criterions and 2 Kinos.
I was joking. Never goes well for me, that.

Ah, I have a simple cold-brew apparatus (a Mason jar, a filter, and a lovely jar lid that's got a spout and handle), but that's for iced coffee only.
I bought a Bodum cold brew coffee maker. I've done the mason jar trick before, but it's kinda annoying. The Bodum has a lid with a filter plunger, much like a French press.

For hot coffee, I'm just going to use my Moka pot.
You just boil the pasta in there, man. I'm not a monster.

Plus, the kettle spout serves as a strainer for the pasta water. So it's a win-win.
imagines pouring cheesy macaroni from a teapot spout. what's wrong with you people?

I do have a collapsible electric kettle that I have taken to conferences where I wasn't sure they'd have coffee ready in the morning (since post-pandemic many hotels have taken coffee makers out of the rooms). Not ideal, but passable in a pinch.
I had my first cup of cold brew this morning. It was bomb. Going to brew up a full batch tonight since it'll keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
