Coffee is life. It's one of my daily rituals and today I also made pancakes.
What equipment and beans are you using? I'm not going to judge if it's something simple. I'm a fan of the V60 and Aeropress, and I'm usually brewing a medium roast from a few local roasters.
I'm not exaggerating when morning coffee is one of my most fundamental rituals. If the world went to shit, the things I miss the most would be a hot shower and easy access coffee.
I have a little coffee cart I roll out on the weeks which I have a few gadgets on.
I mostly make pourover and nespresso. I love the flavor of a good pourover. I also love coldbrew and love making it in that red steeper than my lady got me. The most sacrilegious device I have is the nespresso but man, it can make a killer morning brew with it's weird little spinning capsules. Everyone lumps it in with the other pod coffee but there's nothing like it. It makes a fake crema that is delicious just using centrifugal forces.
Ha! I'm not going to talk down about a convenient machine especially if it still makes a good cup. I also have a moka pot and french press but I'm not using them that often. I'm also grinding with a Baratza Encore. It seemed like an expense at the time, but I'm ok spending money on something you'll use everyday, gives good results, and lasts.
