Little Victories
I recently received a £2 voucher from a supermarket after complaining vociferously about the poor quality of their own-brand Rich Tea biscuits, which I spent on more tasty, tasty biscuits. Tell us about your trivial victories that have made life a tiny bit better.

I have a faulty Aeropress
My sixteen month-old Aeropress has developed some flaws on the interior surface of the chamber. I wrote to Aerobie Inc., asking if this was normal and to be expected (it was my first Aeropress, so I had no idea) or if there was a fault with it.
A helpful chap from Aerobie wrote back the next day, told me that "we consider it a defect" and offered to send me a replacement, gratis. That was nice of the company. I've bought another one for use at work.

So, your story is 'I reported a fault and the company fixed it'?

I think badger has got so carried away with curing the keening inanity of the internet
that he's failed to notice that this week's brief is "tell us something exceedingly dull where you made a small profit from whinging".

Excusing granted
It's one of these.
I find it more convenient than a cafetière or filter/drip machine.

Aerobie
as in the people who used to make the frisbees? I didn't know they were in the coffee business.

I'll admit, I thought you meant the throwing-jobby.
This coffee maker sounds odd though -- what, exactly, is wrong with gritty coffee and surely it costs more using this since you have to replace the filter every time?

Nothing wrong with gritty coffee, per se.
I just don't like it, that's all.
The instruction manual says that the filters can be rinsed (gently) and reused, but the filters cost roughly a penny each so I don't bother.
