I use a Bunn coffee pot. All this other stuff on here just seems extra. I can make 10 cups of coffee in less than 2 minutes, and it’s delicious. Only maintenance is a vinegar wash every other month.

Coffee, yes, just put it into my veins.

Prefer lighter roasts but not that picky. If I’m choosing, this local roastery is my favorite. [https://www.chromaticcoffee.com/](https://www.chromaticcoffee.com/)

It’s robust in build design and satisfyingly simple to use. I don’t have to preheat it other than over pouring the basket when filling with boiling water. The one gasket is a standard size used on other machines, including my other home option a spring lever machine.

I must say that’s a very nice looking machine! I think it is often worth it to buy esthetically pleasing objects when you have to look at them everyday.

I’ve been a barista at Starbucks for 3 years except I’m leaving this December. I’m always a fan of a good French press but if you ever get the chance to have a Starbucks reserve coffee through a clover at Starbucks it’s amazing😍

I actually realised I wrote it down wrong. I got a jolly e for my parents this is a Mazzer mini e.  
Same thing really just smaller.

Thanks dude. This was an optimal set up but such a pain to run and maintain.

Kinda happier now with a nespresso machine weirdly.

Maybe I was never that much of a coffee connoisseur as I thought I was.

Death Wish Odin Force blend. It’s strong but sooooo smooth. It has a wonderful nutty/chocolate like undertone that’s completely natural for the blend. Haven’t found a better cup BUT I’m seeing a lot of neat blends on this thread I’m definitely going to have to try!

My favorite kind of coffee is one that has been whipped creamy frothy using coconut oil.  
Ever since I had seen “Gale’s” trick siphon down in “Gus’s” crank lab in the Breaking Bad series, I told myself I want one. This is my 1st Choice. I enjoy all things SteamPunk"D

If you ever get the bug again, there is a simpler way with outstanding results. Londinium R, Niche Zero (single dosing, which I love for switching coffees). Curiously, both UK companies.

The spring lever machine needs vertical space, but no back flushing, screen is generally clean after a pull, so I only use an Espazzola tool and a “kitchen towel” each session, then pop the screen once in a while for a rinse, but there is usually not much residue on it. Twice a year undo 4 screws and lube the piston gaskets or replace if necessary (20 mins at most). Heaven compared to a pump machine for me.

Performance wise, it has that sought-after declining pressure profile and is a little more forgiving than a pump (less sink shots). Dialing in on the Niche grinder is easy and repeatable between coffees, plus near zero retention and quiet.

I won’t hold your feet to the fire for the convenience of the capsules, but being the kind that doesn’t enjoy maintenance myself, I thought I would let you know.

Thanks @MattB sounds like some solid advice here!  
Once the kids are a bit older I might get back into coffees more seriously 🙂

For folks looking for a Chemex, I use this . a fraction of the cost, larger capacity, and the same exact experience from Bodum. Basically you get borosilicate glass (pyrex) instead of hand-blown hipster expense.

Yes. Coffee is love. Coffee is life.

I’ll have one cup a day from the Krurig (gross I know, but I’m lazy). I do run a good pourover, when I feel fancier, or when I really need coffee, I make a cold brew concentrate, to which I add hot water for a regular cup of joe.

As far as roasters, anything from Tony’s Coffee from Bellingham WA is supreme and for the price, probably the best roastery money can buy. Where I live, I’m about 10 miles from the largest coffee plantation in the US, and while their coffee isn’t ungodly good, it does make a decent cup of coffee.

Weekends I usually enjoy a latte at a local coffee shop, because om nom. FYI; if you like marshmallows, get a latte with oat milk.

I drink coffee nearly daily. Always black. There are good roasters nearby, and I purchase from them occasionally, but for the most part we drink Community Coffee “breakfast blend” out of the Bunn.

If I feel like Having A Cup Of Coffee, I use the French press and get Sleepy Monk’s “monastery blend”. My GOD.
