Hario V60 · coffee maker

acquired 2017-12 · $80
cost per use to date: $0.04

my favorite morning ritual · beautiful · meditative · forgiving · delicious

I have this olive wood and glass dripper + carafe, but the V60 comes in many variations. The ~$25 all-glass dripper would be the one I recommend if you're making 1-2 cups and want to brew directly into a mug.

LAMY Safari · fountain pen

acquired 1993-09 · $20
cost per use to date: >$0.001

durable · comfortable · an iconic ink level indicator · inexpensive · comes in many colors

My first and last(?) fountain pen. It was given to me by my father and I wrote with it every day for about 15 years — these days I reach for it to write cards or letters.

this is the system I use to I track cost per use for posts using

I use properties to track the price, purchase date of the product, and estimate the number of uses per month — everything else is formulas, you can see how it works in my vault template

Miele Classic Plus · dishwasher

bought: 2019-06
cost per use to date: $2.16

I never thought I could love an appliance this much, an absolute joy to use every time.

Extremely well-considered in all its details · a cutlery tray is a zillion times better than a basket.

I have no reason to think this dishwasher won't last at least another 10+ years and reach ~$0.50/use or less. Most of all, this is machine provides such a time savings that the cost is worth the leverage it provides.

Lodge 4.5qt · dutch oven

bought 2006-01 · $60
cost per use to date: $0.05

incredibly versatile · what I would choose if I could only use one cooking vessel for the rest of my life

Le Creuset is another great brand but Lodge is more affordable and seems as durable
