I'm a serial hobbyist. This means that I prefer to DIY over buying. On my own, I've learned woodworking, leather working, welding, mechanics, and gunsmith-ing.

Why Pour Over Coffee is Better | My Morning Ritual

Brewing coffee is a daily routine that gets me ready for the day. Before anything serious gets done, a cup of coffee must be present. Not just any cup though...
