The Clever Dripper is indeed a really neat invention. One of the old school specialty coffee guys in my city did recommend it. I have yet to move away from my french press though. I don't mind the little bit of extra effort of the french press.
since you're in the EU (I assume), check friedhats.com for some fancy roasts
EDIT: oh, and if you dont mind - what was the cheap grinder you got?
I think the Coplit plugin is probably the closest thing to an AI IDE that actually works. As per my other comment, I don't actually use any IDE to begin with, but one of my coworkers who uses VSCode has been very fond of the latest iteration of the Copilot plugin.
From your description of how this plugin works, I see why it works so well. It is basically just focusing on the essentials (populating the appropriate context) and then does as best as it can to get out of the way ( <- this part is really important I think)
I don't use IDEs to begin with. I use a text editor, since I am a UNIX man.
So, I don't even have a reason to look at the "AI" flavor of an IDE.
The closest thing to an AI IDE that I have tried out were tools like AIDER and Jack's "goose" agent.
Neither of those specialized tools has been satisfactory. They all performed worse than just the LLM IMO.
I am sticking to crafting my own context that I supply to the LLM.
Tools like Simon W's `llm` tool help A LOT to be more efficient at using LLMs in a daily setting.
