I think the Chambord uses Tritan plastic - good to above 100c, even if you pressed and poured the water straight from boil for some reason it would be stable. I usually do 4 mins brew and 6-7 mins to cool off and let grinds settle, so its well below the point of any complications from temperature when I pour it.

100% cotton quilt. The same with blankets. I ONLY buy 100% cotton EVERYTHING, including clothing.

I was totally thinking the same after typing this out. Held it up to the light and you called it...one is the tiniest bit not tight enough.

I would always suggest a good duvet cover though. Washing comforters kills them

We use Frankenmuth Woolen Mill and even during the summer with our AC set on 72 and cuddling, my wife and I never get hot. We will never buy another comforter again and wouldn’t want to. They’re that good

I have a west elm comforter that is linen filled with poly batting and it’s perfect. The damn thing is falling apart but I continue to repair it because it’s the perfect weight

I have the same one. It’s awesome! Built like a tank.

More likely dropped or knocked off the counter, I assume?

I make my own quilts with cotton fabric and thin poly batting and everything else seems very hot (in hotels)

Jersey/T-shirt sheets and comforter here. For what that's worth. Love the feel.
Edit: I truly don't get you reddit users sometimes. :(

Wool is for us Northern folk. Cold nights. Don't go wool if you plan to stay cool. Summertime I love my simple white Egyptian cotton sheets 1000 thread count or whatever, very premium given as a gift. Super soft. 12 years later still happy.

Yeah, I would not classify them as cool and crisp. My Hotel Collection duvet cover fits that bill, I was surprised it was even cotton after feeling it, I thought it was silk or rayon or something. The Red Land sheets are made of a really soft cotton, but in a 140 thread count so they feel a bit rustic. Nicer than linen in my opinion.

Reply to Recommendations for wool rug brands by 4theloveofgelabis
This post will seem to shit on your question, but please read it with kindness.
Your budget does not support a BIFL wool rug. Those START at 4 digits and are generally not associated with brands as they are made by humans.
So this is where you hit up google and find something that is not BIFL and fits your budget and your size and your aesthetic requirements.

I have chipped a coffee cup with mine being tired and careless. Love that thing.

I have the JOMO one and love it. My mother in law dropped the top and it fucked it up to where it wouldn't separate from the filter to clean it so I had to get a new one. Other than that this thing is built like a tank and will last forever

I could see some people thinking that. They are 140 thread count, so they won't be as smooth as 800 thread count Egyptian cotton. I think they are a really soft material in a wider weave. I don't find them to be itchy at all. I really like them, but yeah not silky soft like some sheets.

Leica glass has such a distinct quality to it. I can’t really describe it in words, but love images I make with Leica lenses.

I have a set and absolutely hate them. They are stiff and itchy. I contacted the company and they said to wash them in a cup of white vinegar. I did this and then washed and dried them ten times. They are still uncomfortable.

They just don’t look very cool and crisp. I can see the weave so I am thinking rough

There's tons under different names that look identical. My was from Kuissential, and looks like they no longer make it, but there's other brands.

Reply to My Grandmother’s oven, circa 1966. Many holiday meals were cooked with love here, right up until the day she passed. Aside from one shattered glass door that was replaced, everything still works! by _Mr_Roboto_
My grandma had this same stove. She took it with her when they moved 1200 miles away.
I look at that photo and can instantly smell the fried chicken she made. Absolutely divine!
