Let’s talk coffee brewing (again)

Best cup of coffee you can make.
No matter what the method, it helps tremendously to have freshly roasted beans and grind them right before making your coffee.
Time for me to go make a cup.
I was using French Press for years until I found the Aeropress.
Single cup. So, not for bulk drinkers. It helps me limit my intake. Too much coffee was causing issues with sleep, and anxiety.
On occasion I will pull out the Espresso maker.

I dislike the hassle of a drip machine, even though it makes, for me, the best coffee.
I have a Nespresso machine in the cabinet. Coffee is good, but it's never quite warm enough - I used to nuke the cup just to heat it up. Also the Nespresso pods are expensive - about $1 each.
Keurig is great for convenience, but it's never quite that really rich, rich taste you get with drip.
I have a French press cup. It holds about 12 ounces of liquid. I put two heaping tablespoons of whatever coffee I want, fill it with water from the instant hot in the sink, and I'm good after about 1 minute.

We use a milk-frother with ours, which heats up the milk, so the drink is hot.
I like Nespresso more than any other home-method I've tried.

You people don't drink coffee.
I drink mugs. Usually two before breakfast, one after. One or two in the afternoon and occasionally one after dinner.

@Mark - I used the Aeropress for years as my daily go-to. Great little do-dad.
@LuFins-Dad If you want to "step up" the drip machine - look into something like the Bonavita. The only thing different there is that the water is heated to a precise, controlled range so you get a consistently good cup of coffee.
The other place to invest is a good burr grinder.
The big difference between french press and drip is the paper filter. On a french press you get all the coffee oil (cafestol, I think), and in drip the paper filters out almost all of it. Some people like the taste of that oil, some don't.

Another good way to modify the flavor is to feed coffee beans to your cat, and then sieve through the cat litter and then shove all of the bits that don't smell too rank into the good old Mr. Coffee machine.
It's a bit of a hassle, but trust me, you'll be truly astonished by the taste.

That's disgusting.

Although it's called monkey poop coffee, they don't actually digest the beans, just chew and spit them out.
“Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

Oh, rhesus monkeys, also.
Before harvest...

Also with civit cat coffee (Kopi Luwak) from Indonesia.

I tried that sort of coffee before. Ironically it gave me gastrointestinal issues. It is good though.

That's a pale imitation of the cat poo stuff,
Of course, my method is much cheaper, and I'd be willing to bet that the flavour is considerably more distinctive.
