Making those assumptions about IndrekR isn’t very fair. Like him/her, I brew my own coffee (using locally purchased beans) but I go out of my way to support local businesses. I haven’t bought anything from Amazon since 2010 and the only online purchases I’ve made in the last three years were FFP masks (I couldn’t find a local chemists who stocked them for some strange reason), RAM chips and an SSD drive (the local PC shops are gone). Having said that, I regretted paying €20 for a bicycle chain from a local bike shop (who weren’t particularly pleasant to deal with) when I could have purchased the same chain from an online retailer for €5.
