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?

Got a one button mr coffee that is all but retired.
Like all good leftist stereotypes, I served a few years in the barista mines and learned a few things. My partner encouraged me to purchase an espresso setup for the house, so I did some research. ~$1000 later and I had a grinder and an espresso machine that I use every day. I make partner an iced oatsoymilk latte with homemade vanilla syrup and I make myself a black americano. They're delicious, every sip perfect.
In conclusion, the best proletarian coffee is bourgeois coffee
