    Just watched the documentary 'A Plastic Ocean'. It turns out that I haven't watched all of the good documentaries yet. This one is good. It's free on Youtube: https://youtu.be/yog7qmGZIlQ

    The VRBO in the bahamas where I visited had a stovetop percolator. Just add espresso and water. No disposable pods or exposure to toxic chemicals during the process of making the coffee. Loved it. Learned about these for the first time in Italy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fT4VGuJfUlk
