French press. It’s easy to brew a decent cup of coffe, it doesn’t take up space on the countertop, cleanup is easy and it’s the kind of coffe I grew up drinking.

Which lever machine do you have? I used to use a La Pavoni but it started giving these metal flakes and I got weirded out that the copper was leeching out of the boiler. I also have a hand grinder because it will last way longer than an electric grinder motor.

Hand grinder and aeropress for me. Like the ritual and I like the fruitiness of aeropress coffee.

Looking out for a moccamaster rn, if I find someone who wants to part with it for a bargain, but I’m not in a hurry.

Caffeine hasn’t been treating me well for a while and I miss coffee so much. But I’d throw a reusable cheesecloth bag into a big ol pitcher with a bunch of light roast into the fridge for a couple days and make some gooood strong coldbrew!

My parents have a Keurig and I don’t want to use the pods so I just use it for hot water and learned to like tea

I drink tea, but the one time in my life when I truly enjoyed coffee was in Costa Rica. they use a pour-over method with a simple wooden device with a cloth filter called a chorreador

maybe the coffee itself was just really good but I loved how natural and cozy the experience felt compared to the sterile plastic modernist efficiency of the coffee makers I was used to

ahh i want a lever espresso

for me its pourover when i wake up and moka pot later in the day, mostly because the latter is convenient to do on my little hotplate near my desk.

Instant coffee and heat it in the microwave.

I have this really shitty drip pot that cost 34 dollars 8 years ago. The drip valve broke off when I dropped the filter cone a couple years ago so now you have to wait until it’s good and done before you even think about taking coffee.

It maximizes my micro plastic consumption but it simply won’t die.

I grind my beans with an electric burr grinder that I have never cleaned and now it’s not outputting as much grinds as it should so I’ll have to give in and take it apart soon.

I used to use this hand grinder daily for like 2-3 years. Its a really nice japanese one with ceramic burrs that I bought on impulse. I’m really glad I got the electric grinder as a gift.

I’ve got a Bambino mini espresso machine. I like my beans as dark as night, when they’re so roasted that they’re starting to get oily (my wife says this indicates the beans have spoiled but she is wrong). Four double shots into the mug effectively making an Americano.

Grind some beans put into filter, put filter into pitcher of water, put pitcher on counter overnight, take out filter and refrigerate.

Served over ice, I also make some simple syrup so I don’t have to try to stir in raw sugar into cold coffee.

Instant coffee the proletariat way

Or just pour boiling water on a cup with ground coffee

~15 year old nespresso machine with the little pods. they make this Napoli one that I’ve been specifically addicted to for years. would love a real espresso machine but can’t afford it really

bonavita drip machine, zapatista coffee, bodum burr grinder that should probably be cleaned/replaced since it’s been in service for over a decade now

I roast green coffee in a pan, takes maybe 30 min including prep and cleanup. Then into the burr grinder and aeropress with a metal mesh. It’s a lot of fun and lasts 2-3 weeks before I make more. Also the coffee is cheaper.
