• add 15g ground coffee, add 50ml hot water (just off the boil), wait 30 seconds, add 250ml hot water (off the boil).

• put the v60 in the sink, and the grounds in the food waste.

• take the mug to the desk and stare at the meeting blankly.

I'm usually completely naked.

First I open the McDonald's app

You just need a decent ground coffee and this thing will make a perfect coffee. Of course, you'll get an espresso size coffee, but I prefer it that way.

Upside down Aeropress, ideally with freshly ground beans from a vacuum container. Boil water, let it stand to cool down to 90 C, pour small amount in to aerate for 30 seconds. Pour rest in, close with double paper filter (pre-rinsed with some boiling water). Leave 1 minute. Slowly press. Dash of whole milk.

Oh man, makes me want one now.

Bonavita auto drip during the week. Bonavita, V60 and espresso maker on the weekends.

4 scoops of the cheapest ground coffee to a 1l French press.

Then boiling water added and waiting for a bit before i can force the plunger down.

Then poured into the biggest cup i have found at home and some sugar replacement added in.

Now all the coffee lovers, you're free to pour out your hatred towards me.

I make a small latte (or three) on my Gaggia Classic.

I do some stuff and push a button

I wish I liked coffee because there seems to be so many interesting ways of making it, but it tastes like someone farted in an ashtray and then poured hot water in.

V60

V60, sustainable, equitable coffee because I'm no scumbag class traitor, hot water.

Put 1lbs coffee in several layers of cheesecloth -> put in gallon of water -> fridge 24h, coffee for days. It's less acidic and, more importantly, immediately ready for morning-zombie-me.

I have an espresso machine at the office but not the talent to use it. It pretty much only comes on to steam milk, though I do sometimes make a shot of acidic death occasionally.

I used to be a Breville man, pressing the tamper, admiring the crema, steaming the milk, even roasted my own beans there for a while. All that gear went with my ex. I'm more a tea drinker now.

I lost my sense of smell so I don't like espresso anymore. So my method nowadays:

1. Heat water in a kettle to 90c
2. Grind some generic beans in my rancilio rocky (sometimes I treat myself to better beans)
3. Load the ground coffee into my upside-down aeropress with a steel filter. Fill with hot water
4. Wait 1 minute
5. Press the coffee into my moomin-themed mug and enjoy black

Instant coffee. I drink one cup per day with a lot of milk. Why bother.

At home: Put cup in machine, push button.
At work: Good ol' drippy filter, baby.

75g into the French press, fill with room temp water, let it sit over night. Cold brew is great for getting a stronger cup from lighter roasts because it's nearly impossible to over-extract, allowing much higher ratios. You lose some bitterness, but you get a bunch of other flavors which are hard to get from other methods, like woody and floral notes.

If I want it hot, I throw it in the microwave, and store the leftover in Tupperware for a day or two. Really it's the perfect method because it's all prep the night before, but doesn't require a countertop appliance.

Bonus tip - you can eat coffee beans for a quick boost. They are quite tasty and have a satisfying crunch.

I got a reusable metal filter for my aeropress and get beans from my bean guy (the local coffee shop roasts their own and I am no coffee snob but I am a foodie and they are amazing. Fuck. I am ten minutes away from eating a different sammie and my belly calls to their bakery) I am not good at making coffee but I am learning. I love what a moka pot makes but I do not have access to a reliable heating source for it at home (I can get it to work great camping but I don't have a good electric heating element. And I'm not going to get one I am sick of trying)

fill electric grinder to blades

The simplest possible drip pot. Unbleached paper filters. No timer, just on/off, and I took off the little spring piece that enabled you to steal a cup during the dripping and ruin the pot. Just wait, and empty the dishwasher in the meantime. I grind my beans for 12 seconds and use filtered tap water. But the beans are good imho, from Groundwork.
