It's not easy to buy substantial amounts P2P in one single transaction because most offers to sell aren't big to begin with, but it works well for say 0.05 to 0.1 BTC DCA style amounts.
You will still leave a bank transaction track record, and may have to be careful with that.
Her intuition about the finer grind is correct. If you grind the beans too fine, as for espresso, or not even that fine, yes, you'll have a not so clear cup, with some fine deposits at the bottom. These filters work best for filter/pour-over, which will usually be ground coarser. In my 11 step grinder, where the finest espresso grind is 1, I set it at 6-6.5 for best flavor and cleanest cup.
However, as you already noticed, stainless steel filters have a superfine mesh in them, which is the actual filter. It's not like a simple perforated colander. So there isn't a real difference in steeping time and extraction with paper filters, and the residues that make it through are really really fine and can even be drunk without problem if you want.
As for the Japanese brands -- they just do everything better!
I have one of these, specifically:

Of interest to anyone who likes coffee. I followed my wife brewing the hand drip method this morning and here's a breakdown of the steps.
#coffee #grownostr

Weigh the beans, in this case 12g.
https://void.cat/d/TvW1qKyChcNDJ9Hapwa8yV.webp
Grind beans(grind grade set at 4.5)

Ground beans placed in dripper and scale recalibrated to reflect weight of beans.

Water boiled to 96c
https://void.cat/d/MDCYBPuBzA3T99CbHLWDLa.webp
First pour, water poured using a gentle circular motion to stimulate the entire grind.
https://void.cat/d/HmrdYEu7daTPmWCaRTN5u.webp
Each pour is approximately 30g of water and a pause to let the water fully seep through before starting the next pour.
https://void.cat/d/PDXCQCEMPjfWiPLy27yEjk.webp
Final pour brings the total to about 220g( a pre chosen quantity based on experience with the bean). Notice the timer was started at first pour.
https://void.cat/d/DceYuD1Mb2o3hxyycn5sA1.webp
Final seep complete and timer shows 3:09 minutes. A little long and this reflected in the profile of the brew.....slightly more bitter than if the pour had been completed closer to the 2 minute mark. What influences the seep timing?.......the attention to the circular motion of the pour that should wind outwards from the middle of the grind in the dripper very delicately. The pour influences the aroma/flavour actually quite significantly.
Dude, 10 points to that! That grinder in particular looks great.
I have been grinding beans and filter-brewing for years now, and there is no way I'm going back to coffee shop espresso o even worse, capsules.
Only thing I would tell you guys is to try with a reusable stainless steel conic filter instead of paper. I switched a couple of years ago and it works a lot better for me.
Paper filters are a bitch to deal with, and despite what they say, even if the paper didn't impart a flavor to the coffee, I can still smell it.
It'd work if they were automatically reciprocal. As it is now, they're asymmetrical, so more like a follower than a connection.
It's not an unfair comparison really. For those people, the ruler was performing an extremely important "public service", namely appeasing the gods. Which seen objectively is obviously bollocks. But so are all "public services" people in the West believe in. They have no basis in reality either other than the ruler telling them they must pay them to provide them.
Now, to the post-training relaxation

Beautiful little .22 CZ sends them off like they were angels.
Pew-pew Friday morning is the best Friday morning.
Don't wallets just do that by default? Sparrow does.
Meh... One can also say that unless people are morally righteous, it's impossible that they set up the institutions that make a sound economy possible.
There are many examples of formerly functional economies that enrich people, only for the newly rich people to become spoiled for things like "better redistribution" and "more public services", since they think "we can afford it".
That seed of moral weakness ends up poisoning the institutional system, which finally kills the economy, and so on.
This whole "The US is not a democracy, it's a [variable adjective] Republic" is one of the silliest, and most pervasive, memes among certain types of libertarians and right wingers.
Unless you unequivocally and totally identify "democracy" with "direct democracy", as in what happens in a referendum, the US is as much a democracy as any other Western-style so called "liberal democracy".
This is because "democracy" only refers to a method of decision making based on "one citizen, one vote" (and then you can still cheat by restricting who is a citizen, and so on and so forth, but the broad definition applies).
What happens in the US presidential elections, is exactly what happens in many other countries, where the citizens do not elect the president directly, but a group of "representatives" who are the ones who actually nominate and choose the president.
In Spain, just to give a simple example, it's the parliament who does that, and "parliamentary elections" equals "Primer Minister elections", and people go to the ballots with a " primer minister candidate" and their party in mind, not the actual representative who will vote.
In the US you choose a temporary, ad hoc group for that purpose, the Electoral College, but it's exactly the same.
I like how everybody was like "Yep. They float".
And at least one of them is thinking "I bet I could fish them out. Somehow".

Boy this whole software engineering thing is easier than I thought.
Could you make the transaction conditional to the sender issuing an email read receipt?
Not evil person face. Doesn't mean they're not evil. My "evil face" spider sense detects a subset of evil people only, so all people it detects are evil, but not all people it does not detect aren't.
Hillary is a prime example of a not-particularly evil face person who is objectively a rotten humanoid.
I don't doubt it, and that's why I keep asking the Cardano people to explain how come they have this magical PoS system that is as safe in the long run as PoW. They simply point me at these complicated mathematical proofs, which I can either trust or not trust. To be honest, for me the mathematical proof of PoW is similarly esoteric, but it's lined with my intuition at least.
One of the few pop-superstition, to call it something, or clearly irrational belief, or "intuition-based" decision making, that I consciously allow myself is prejudging people as "probably a bad person" based on their face.
I cannot explain how that works or give an objective list of traits that make a "bad person face", but I am very certain that I produce very accurate results.
As a sample of a well known international political figures who to me has one of the most evil, most rotten person face, I can point at Nigel Farage. Doesn't matter if some of the stuff he may say sometimes resonates with me, or not. I'm talking about human quality. I would never trust someone with that face.
