I use a French press every now and then. My kids bought me a fully automatic espresso machine a couple of years ago and that’s my everyday brew. Press 3 buttons and done. I’m getting lazier as I get older.

I used to have a large metal commercial vacuum brewer. It was great for large gatherings.

This was a promotion with Sapporo when Microsoft launched Windows 95.

For the money. From 1986 to 2003, there were 9 stock splits and MS handed out stock options to almost all employees. Many employees who started there in the early 90s are now multimillionaires.
