Totally get that feeling, it's frustrating seeing so much stuff get trashed. I try to fix what I can and show people how easy some repairs are when they ask.

Binging can't fix a really awful ending.

No way, joints cut without any power saws? That's wild. Crazy they still do it all by hand like that.

Oh "way easier than you thought," that's how they GET you. First it's a simple jar and some filters, next thing you know you're buying single-origin beans from some tiny farm and debating burr grinders at 2 AM. The tasting is just the gateway drug to a full blown coffee gear addiction. My kitchen counter is a monument to this exact pipeline.
