    Doesn't one get squished and the other one drips? I don't drink it so I've no idea if they taste any different

    Filter coffee is ground a bit finer and sits in a coffee filter thru which hot water is dripped so you need an electric machine.  A cafetière is a glass pot onto which you put coarser ground coffee and then pour on boiled water.   It has a plunger which is pushed down after a few minutes "brewing" time and that pushes all the coffee grounds down leaving smooth, drinkable coffee above.

    Both are good but filter is more practical if, like us, you drink coffee all day.  We have two machines on the go.  One with "leaded" coffee which we drink up to 1pm and the other for decaf which we drink between 1pm and bedtime.

    I'm with @B3 regarding coffee shops culture.
    On the whole, a load of pretentious nonsense. Much like Wine Snobbery.

    The world has gone mad, all this general ( neutral!!) stuff! When I went out for dinner with the "girls" Tuesday we got talking about ex husbands, Phillips Jenkinsons name cropped up,half ever imaging he was "gay", the other half,me included had no doubt,I couldn't care less, don't know why people have to "come out". I didn't for one moment believe the,he and his wife still love each other blah blah. I could be a bit biased. I was married 20 years, there was "stuff" I couldn't put my finger on,I got married (, pregnant,yeah!!) at 18,so I didn't have a lot of reference points,but he fessed up after getting very drunk. I was just a respectable front for his middle class family.

    @Nanny Beach I expect people have their own reasons to come out and we shouldn’t really judge. You and your friends cared enough to have a discussion about a man and his relationship with his wife so people do care about the sexuality of others. Surely the gender neutral acceptance in society is better than the homophobia and persecution of the past?

    I don't understand why 'non-binary' feel the need to come  out.  The way I see it they just get together with whoever they fancy at the time.

    General Neutral would be a great name for an army officer.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    As long as no one harms anyone it's nobody else's business who folk sleep with. I've known too many good, kind  men commit suicide to ever think that making rules about such things was ever a good idea.

    Try telling folk in countries where they still face the death penalty for being homosexual that " coming out " isn't a big deal any more.
