    A return to basic? Quite the contrary…

    As I sip from the unassuming plastic to-go cup from Cafe De La Casa, the aroma of rich, complex coffee immediately greets me, filled with notes of dark chocolate, roasted nuts, and ripe berries.

    The flavors unfold in layers. The balanced acidity brings out delicate fruit notes, hinting at meticulously sourced beans. The body is full and velvety, with a natural caramel-like sweetness that suggests a carefully controlled medium roast.

    As the coffee cools, subtle hints of citrus and faint floral notes emerge, revealing the craftsmanship behind this brew. Despite the humble cup, this coffee is a hidden gem, showcasing true quality in an unexpected place.




  • Just had to solve this problem myself recently. Same issue, upstairs stifling while downstairs stays nice and cool. For a whole year I just ran the system a bit colder, but that made the downstairs freezing in order to make the upstairs feel normal. Not to mention all of the energy waste running the system for so long, my home is 2300 ft.² so I went for the dual zone with a mechanized damper. You could save on the cost by installing a manual damper that you could adjust as needed so far the system marks very well and my upstairs can get nice and cold, while the downstairs is a cozy warm temperature. I paid an HVAC company $2,300 for this to be done, but the manual damper would have been just $600.

    Other options I considered though were going to mini split route like the other comments suggest, or if your HOA is strict about even that, you could even use an indoor AC or two, and have the exhaust vents blowing out the window.
