How much were those things originally? Pre covid, it seemed like $200-300 was stupendously expensive and nearly top tier. Now, lots of people shrug at the plethora of $500-1,000 grinders. I don't mind picking up something that seems like value, but I'm holding off because the prices are kinda crazy and not seeming like the greatest of value as a result.

I still think co-workers would think I'm weird if I grab an energy drink from a retailer instead of lining up with them at say, Analog.

I recall the status thing, but more so that it was a bit pricier than other energy drinks.
Starbucks has had a baseline of like $5 for several decades. I don't recall Redbull or energy drinks ever being cheaper than cafe coffee... unless you're going by caffeine content and you're drinking multiples a day.
I feel like people went crazy in the last decade. Most people drank 1 cup a day of coffee or 1 can of energy drink. Maybe 2 if you had a rough night. Anything more than that and you were basically joked of as a caffeine addict/health concerns discussions. Now, I think tons of people drink multiple cups of coffee or cans of energy drink a day, and I'm one of them. It ain't right.
