Coffee

I love my bialetti brikka

Cheap-ass Folgers pour-over forever.

I've done all the methods and roasts and beans and blends over the years, and there is nothing more stable, dependable, and satisfying than a single cup of pour-over Folgers. With cream. Boil water, #2 filter, enjoy.

I go through phases, but lately I've been mostly using a Hario Cafeor. It's basically a stainless mesh v60, and it produces incredible coffee once you get used to its idiosyncrasies. Anyone who prefers metal filters over paper should give it a try.

I'm no coffee snob. Gas station dark roast, little cream no sugar. Under a dollar in a hurry.

My Cafelat Robot is my daily driver and on the weekends I add in a couple of brews from my Chemex. At this point in my 20-year coffee journey those are all I need.

Honestly I'm pretty happen with the inverted aeropress method. Wait a couple of mins once the kettles boiled so it's ~80°C, brew for a couple and press.

Makes a decent brew.

Although gotta say, my wife got me some fancy coffee bags ( ground coffee in a paper mesh bag), legit had me thinking about switching.

I use a supposedly nice drip basket bonavita machine. It works well, and it's still super easy to use.

200g coffee on a cheese cloth bag, 1600g water, mix and chill for 24 hours. Optionally stir half way through. Serve over ice.

Cold brew in a Toddy. Store in fridge. Add milk/ice/hot water to taste.

For hot coffee a chemex for sure, but for iced my aeropress is king

(until I can get my hands on a good espresso machine)

I rock an electric moka pot, and it's brilliant.

Seeing lots of comments from people taking their coffee seriously. And here's me, happy with instant coffee!

Although I have been on a journey from instant coffee, drip, Nespresso, espresso machine and finally back to instant. Albeit still using the espresso machine here and there. Seems like I could try a few new things from the comments here.

I'm just a basic man with a coffee press. On the weekends though I like to fire up my little DeLonghi and enjoy some lattes.

AeroPress for its versatility. I also rarely use moka pot for home lattes, it's good but not as much controllable.

Pour over, single cup Melitta ceramic cone. I use an Aeropress on travel.

I'm also using a Fellow Stagg XF! It's super quick and convenient. It replaced an aeropress for me.

Wife gave me a Hario Siphon but it was too much effort to clean. I whip it out for guests, still though.

I'm personally less of a fan of espresso, so saving some money by not having a fancy machine

I've been mostly doing V60 for the last 6 months or so and the Stagg XF when I'm not. My next purchase is probably a Clever, but I'm not sure. Otherwise, I've got a Phin for making Vietnamese style coffee, an Aeropress I use from time to time, of course the Chemex and press pot when I want 1 liter of coffee at a time, and a cold brewer that I haven't used for probably a year or so.

I don't use my Flair brewer nearly as much as I expected, which is too bad. I like it, it's just a bit of a routine to get it set up, heated, and brew an espresso.

I have a variety of brewers but my current favourite is my gaggia classic espresso machine. I much prefer espresso to any kind of filter brew

DeLonghi Magnifica. 60,000 shots spread over 2 machines (according to the counter) in the last decade.

I love my mocha pot/bialetti! I have an ancient double shot bialetti which I picked up from my parents. It works great because I can always make espresso for latte, cappuccino or what ever I feel like! Such a tiny versatile little machine. Great for students!

Started using the Kamira a year ago. If you know what you are doing (there are many small things to do that could ruin the brew), you will drink the most delicious coffee ever. Not even a professional espresso machine could match it, no joke.

My one-and-done is a full mug from my decade old Ikea moka pot. This is made with hot milk, wazzed up with the cheap little milk frother they sell. The result is a huge quadruple "cappuccino". This wires me up all day.

If I'm not up for that, I'll just make a cup or two from my areopress. Inverse method, steel filter.

For me it's the ability to get coffee that's strong enough so that most of the cup can be hot milk. I've been chasing that for years.

Cafetiere was always disappointing, never bothered with any of the pourover methods because I couldn't see how they were any good for "milk drinks". I was never aware of aeropress really and when I did hear about it it just looked like another way of making filter strength coffee so steered clear of that.

Then I discovered the Moka pot which I used for years by cramming it with as much coffee as I could get into it which used to get pretty close to espresso strength but obviously not proper espresso.

Eventually we bought a Bambino Plus in lockdown and have been knocking out at least decent 2 lattes per day ever since (usually more if my wife is home)

Still not convinced I can get enough coffee in each shot though... I'm regretting the 53mm basket size!

I just got the Orea V3 and I gotta say, it's really turning out some great coffees!

My favorite is the Hario Switch with Chemex Filters

I use the stock Gaggia classic with the barista 8-10g basket. I actually grind 7.5g of Mr Espresso Neapolitan Espresso, which is the closest I have been able to find to a real Italian espresso. The grinder is a barazza sette, and the settings give me a nice short shot of espresso after ~20s. Overall, heaven!

Hario Switch - following a recipe I saw in the other place for high extraction.

I like my Chemex. Saving up to buy a used Gaggia classic
