Comment on Do you reckon a choice subscription is worth it before making more expensive purchases?

Do you know if Choice has commenting or forums for subscribers? I feel like the hive mind knowledge that makes ozbargain great would be an added bonus if it did.

I gave it a quick google and it doesn’t look like it
Lemmy, Reddit, and OzBargain (and possibly YCombinator if I was after something easily jailbroken) would be my backup option if choice wasn’t worth it. Maybe Whirlpool for certain things as well. I feel like Reddit is a bit weird when it comes to products, though. Lots of random out of the blue and unexplained hate for particular products or product categories (i.e. “What’s the best coffee machine I can buy” top response: “none lol. Cafe coffee really aren’t that expensive when you look at rhe quality”, etc)

I know this doesn’t answer the “best instant coffee” question, but an $8 Ikea plunger and real ground coffee from Colesworth/Aldi negates the need to ever settle for instant. It actually works out a little cheaper, too.

$20 stove top Percolator is another option, no need for a kettle.

Only if you’re drinking espresso. And only ever offering espresso to prospective guests. As a flat white drinker, I’d still need a kettle.
This is a great week to pick them up for free/almost free as people got upgrades for Christmas and offload their old ones.
