I gotta push back on the "best $12 I ever spent" part here. I bought one of those chain checkers a few years ago and it actually messed me up because it told me my chain was fine when it was REALLY already worn out. I ended up having to replace my cassette and chainring too because I waited too long based on that tool. Theyre good for a rough idea but Ive seen people say those Park Tool ones can be hit or miss with accuracy. I think measuring with a ruler or just replacing on a schedule is way more reliable honestly.

@michaela16, my neighbor flipped her smoke detector over and thought that solved the beeping.

Tossed a bag of frozen Brussels sprouts in mine with olive oil and salt. 375 for 15 minutes. Came out with crispy edges and soft centers. Not a single sad gray orb in sight. I ordered a second air fryer the next day.

And it's not just the mount itself that's the problem, it's the screws and bolts they use. I had a cheap set where the thumb screw stripped after like three uses, so the whole thing basically became useless. The metal is usually super soft too, so overtightening just deforms the whole thing. You end up paying more in the long run when you have to replace them every few months.

Actually I've tried both ways and honestly I find the 30 second bloom makes it taste a bit sour and hollow. I just pour slow and steady from the start and get a fuller cup.
