Thanks for your insightful comment.

Mine's going strong after 7 years, I think it will last many, many more.

My yeti doesn’t keep coffee hot for very long anymore. Daily use for about a year. Wouldn’t consider Yeti as a BIFL item.

I have a Frieling that has been doing great and used daily since 2019.

With 2-3 times a week usage, all my Sunbeams have failed after 6 months. The quality ain't there any more.

I've tried all other electric blankets and have the same result.

I gave up on electric blankets and switched to sherpa throws. Easy to wash and very warm. Family loves them.

OP: mEtAl iS bUy It fOr LiFe

Broke two glass french presses before switching to a metal one.

Pretty sure they're all made in one factory and rebranded. I have the same one and it is a Sterling Pro. It's under a ton of brands.

I keep a small mesh strainer next to the sink. Add a little water to the leftover grounds, swish, pour into the strainer, then into the trash (or compost if you have it).

I've been down this road. I grew up drinking percolated coffee, then when I moved out on my own I bought a drip pot. Replaced it with a Keurig and bought a Keurig for work. Got tired of how expensive K cups were then moved back to drip. Messed around with a lot of different types of beans and grinders and such, got really into that. Then I discovered French press and tried probably 25 brands of coffee (all preground now, I don't have the time to grind myself anymore and deal w/ making French press). I've settled on Primos brand medium ground and that's what I use now.

French press is not hard, it's just a bit of work and requires some attention.

Yeti stuff is overpriced and really only beats Ozark Trail in one catagory: impressing your lame bouji friends

Checkout Fossil wallets. Cheaper than a lot of the brands here but just as BIFL imo. I got one of their leather wallets 10 years ago and its got a great leather patina on it and its just getting started. It was only $40

I have this exact French press , absolutely fantastic.

Thank you! Those look right up his alley in terms of what he's looking for.

Try Amish made, always found their products to be well made

I have one stainless vacuum kug from stanley, I think I paid 20€ and am very happy. Keeps coffee hot for way longer and it's comfortable to hold (does not get hot outside like a cermaic mug does). Need to try it out in the summer but I guess it's main use is also to keep drinks cold...

I’d like to buy my husband a new one we got him one a few years ago but it’s small.

Love this sub for random needs!

My guy is very much the opposite of that, he strongly prefers that I pick out his clothes/accessories because "idk you know what's good and looks nice". The only criteria he has for wallets is "leather, black and holds all my stuff". Tools, cars, and technology/appliances are the only things he's really fussy about which is great because my only concerns about those kinds of things are: is it study, is it practical, does it look nice and will it last more than a couple of years so we balance each other out.

Mine has a good seal so haven't run into that yet

I went with one branded "Highwin". I can't remember all the details of my purchase, but I think I bought it on eBay at a lower price than the Mueller. It looks exactly like the Mueller. So, I convinced myself that I wasn't going to pay more for a name. The quality seems good, and will probably last a lifetime. An extra mesh filter is included.

My $9 Walmart Ozark trail cup has held up just as good as my yeti. I won my yeti at a work event. They are just about equal in quality.

Wallets are like handbags for the spouse, let him pick out his own unless he asks you. My wife is intelligent, good meaning, but has learned no belt, no wallet, no shoes, no tools. Just my 2 cents, but have been happily married for 40 years

I second Popov.

A bit on the expensive side. Overpriced according to certain.

But it is beautiful and sturdy.

Full grain Horween leather.

If you’re Canadian… It took 5 days from me buying to them delivering across the country.

Same exact thing happened to us. So sad.
