coffee

For me it's a tossup between a fresh cup from my drip brewer (moccamaster) or a good americano. The americano is way slower to make though, so generally I prefer drip.

As the heat sets in though I also love an iced coffee, and for that, it has to start with espresso on ice. Not to diss cold brew, I love that too but never get around to making my own.

I'm probably speaking heresy here, but I've never had a french press I really loved. Used one for years when I was the only coffee drinker in the house, but it's always tasted kind of "meh" to me. Like, not bad, just not anywhere near the hype.

I'll also toss out points for a cup of disgusting tar boiled in a firetop percolator, because it's June and I've been out camping, and nothing tastes better than a cup of somewhat gross, overbrewed camp coffee on a chilly morning.
