Do you have a go to system for coffee in the morning, if so what is? What tools do you use? What do you want to change?

I use James Hoffmann's French Press technique. This is mostly because all I own is a kettle, scale, and press so it isn't a question of what equipment I'm going to use but what technique. The technique takes a bit longer than the standard brew and immediate plunge technique but I tend to only make coffee on my day off (I hate feeling rushed to make and enjoy coffee) so it isn't a concern. I did order a manual grinder (Timemore C3) that should be arriving today so I'll get to play with whole beans and grind sizes in the future and I think I'm going to keep an eye out for an AeroPress or Moka Pot so I can expand my options and with options my go to may change.

P.S. To help combat the whole the you have to make coffee before coffee conundrum I have a coffee recipe app on my phone. So I don't have to think. I can just follow the steps and instructions complete with an on screen timer and a pleasant little ding between steps. It'll even let me make my own recipes so I'm not stuck with the preloaded ones if I want to experiment.

    That app sounds interesting, which one do you use?

    It's called Cofi. There are other ones out there, some allow recipe sharing or store more detailed information in the recipe template, but I like the streamlined interface of Cofi.
