Real care" is just a nice word for not giving up.

A copper drip tower? Your friend must have way more patience than me. I get annoyed just looking at my regular coffee maker.

You ever notice how the weirdest stuff can make you think of someone? My grandma used to save those little butter tubs, and now every time I see one I remember her fridge full of them. It wasn't about the container, it was about her whole "waste not, want not" vibe that stuck with me. Makes you realize how much of a person gets tied up in small habits.
