I have a v60, chemex, aero press, etc., but don't think I'll be able to get the volume I need for 20 people. I can maybe buy a cheap coffee maker at a thrift shop, but I doubt I'll be able to have the control I would like in terms of water temperature and ratio. Not filtered, but I have thought about a French press, but even that only has so much output.

Tried posting in r/coffee yesterday but it is still waiting for approval. Sorry if this isn't exactly appropriate for this sub.

Thanks in advance!

Called the ranger station this morning, and she mentioned that people are doing the trail, but that Panhandle Gap felt better with an ice axe. Some of the conditions on the Park website suggest expert level snow experience.

My partner and I secured permits for the loop. We have a decent amount of backcountry experience, but have mixed comfort levels on snow fields. We have micro spikes and trekking poles, but don't have ice axes. We are happy to buy them for the trip, but obviously don't have the training or experience with them and don't want to get ourselves into any hairy situations.

Thanks in advance!

I've had it for about two or three years, and have the flat bar version. I use it to commute in a city multiple times a week, but have taken it bike packing and also for some longer days on paved trails. I want to a) think about putting gravel tires on it b) do a drop bar conversion. Is it better just to get a gravel bike instead?

I also sometimes think that my preamble is a bit big for me. I'm sitting just on the edge of the saddle, and can baaaarely stand over the bars. I'm 5'4", but purchased the size small because my bike shop didn't carry the xs.

I have an opportunity for a fixed term appointment that I am excited about, but I am also undecided about academia long term. If I decide to pursue a non-academic career, would having a fixed term academic appointment help or hurt my odds?

Social sciences in the USA, if that helps. Non-academic options might be research for government, policy, and non-profit, or possibly data science
