I got up this morning and thought "I need a coffee". I'm not interested in pour overs, I want that shit ready when I get up. Are people still doing drip coffee makers in 2026? Or are they all bullshit machines full of vendor lockin?

I wonder if the coffee back then was just less potent, kind of like with weed
No, their bodies were just full of over-the-counter amphetamines
When you're that hopped up on speed, coffee is a downer
No, it was more nasty though.
My grandparents used to just make it weak when they would drink it in the evenings, like use way less grounds. Idk why they didn't just drink decaf at that point though
based on absolutely nothing but vibes, i'm gonna guess that it used to be generally more potent because robusta is cheaper and people had less say in what they got
