Craft versus convenience

The spinn makes good coffee. It’s freshly-ground beans. The flavor and texture is good. Probably in blind taste test, I couldn’t tell the difference between hand brewed and this.

But when I make coffee by hand, I enjoy the experience more. It’s not that it tastes better, but I know the work that went into it. I used my brain and strength.

Is there an analogy with film photography?

Same with biking versus driving. You get a different perspective. It may be slower, but it’s more enjoyable.

Sometimes you just need to get there

But if we can take the time, we can experience, unlock a new experience

Gift card versus making something yourself. The latter will have imperfections but more care is there
