During the work week, I grind my beans at home & bring them to work, where I use an old style drip coffee maker (think Mr. Coffee) to make two pots - the first pot using preheated water from our water filter system, the second pot using cold once the heating element inside the machine is already hot.
During the weekends, it’s a mug of water into the microwave and a spoonful of instant.





Back when I was really into fighting games, I made a set for myself. They were awesome for fighting games, but not usable for any other games. Pretty much every other game at the time (late 90s) wanted the analog functionality from the joysticks, which a fighting game stick doesn’t have (or didn’t anyway, I admit I have not kept current).
I would add, at the time it was possible to find an arcade supply store and buy commercial parts direct. I don’t think those sources exist anymore.
