Reply to This espresso machine is from 2004, i got it from Savers last year and it works like brand new. I know people online who have even older ones that still work perfectly. by Waryur
Jesus, whoever sold that didn't know what they had. I just sold mine, albeit five years younger, for about ten times that.

It’s pretty common throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, albeit with slight variations on the name, so if you’re in the US it should be easy enough to find. Easier than Irn Bru at least. Just look for something bright orange/yellow with champagne in the name despite clearly not being champagne.

If you've ever had kola champagne it's almost identical. Like someone dissolved bubblegum into cream soda.

Peak Design Everyday Backpack. I've used mine for everything on your list and it steers well clear of the mall ninja/tacticool EDC douche look.

Reply to comment by scarabic in Leica M2 from 1965. Still one of the best film cameras in the market. by slothsandstuffyeh
The lenses are fantastic and the overall build quality is absurd. I've got a more modern Leica and if I dropped it I'd be more concerned about damage to the floor.
