Buy the French press
You could buy this coffee machine.
It's the JURA Z10, and it can make 51 different drinks at the touch of a button. It has a touchscreen, a grinder, a milk system, Wi-Fi, and its own app.
It costs $4,499.
At some point, it's going to need repairs, and likely more than once. You'll spend hundreds on maintenance, have to go through the hassle of finding someone qualified to work on it, and then be without it for weeks while it's being fixed.
Or you could buy this French press.
It costs $39.99 and is unlikely to ever break. It doesn't need an owner's manual. It doesn't need a technician. It doesn't have a thousand parts that will fail.
It makes 8 cups of coffee in about 6 minutes:
- Boil water.
- Add 3โ4 scoops of coffee to the bottom.
- Pour the hot water to the top.
- Press it down 4 minutes later.
That's it.
You can use it at home, bring it on vacation, pack it in your bag, and even take it camping. It's great for just yourself, or for a house full of guests.
Making small decisions like this really adds up!
You spend less money, deal with fewer headaches, own fewer things that can break, and end up with a simpler better life.
Ironically, this is how you get rich!
Rich in simplicity. Rich in time. Rich in money. Rich in life.
Whenever possible, choose simple.
