Moka Ice Cream

I'm a new Moka Pot user (got a standard 6-cup bialetti). Recently I made several pots to store in the fridge so I can take some quick swigs if I don't have time to brew in the morning. The coffee tasted so amazingly good, I wondered what else it might be good for.

So, I spooned a few tablespoons over some ice cream, and it turns into a delicious frozen coffee shell. Makes it taste like legitimate coffee ice cream (not too strong, not too weak).

Highly recommended.

2020 S60 T6 AWD, $26k 25k mi, good deal?

Found this 2020 S60 with 25k miles for $26k (USD), it is non-CPO but I am pretty interested in buying it for a daily commuter. I have never owned a Volvo before so I am not entirely sure what I am getting into--but I am wondering if this is a good deal.

It is a single owner lease return, the Carfax is clean, only indicated a minor fender bender which was repaired. It was regularly serviced at dealer (the 50k mile service has already been performed).

I was originally looking for a car which fit these criteria:

  • +/-$25k budget (so likely used)
  • Sedan of any size is preferable, but will accept hatchback.
  • Indifferent to manual or automatic (I find joy in both for different reasons)
  • AWD
  • Very quiet. I make a lot of calls from the car, so this is important. Background noise drives me absolutely nuts.
  • Smooth ride, somewhat related to it being quiet.
  • Knobs and buttons
  • If there happens to be an infotainment system, I am an Android user.
  • Heated seats (nice to have, not required)
  • Doesn't need to be fast, just fast enough to pass on the freeway
  • Reasonable maintenance schedule and costs.
