I like espressos (especially mochas) but they take a bit of work to prepare a single cup. With drip brew, I can do very little and get unhealthy amounts of caffeination into my corpse. Also, I pour ungodly amounts of creamer into my coffee. That Mason jar is quite literally half coffee half creamer.
reeeeeeeeeeeee
Espresso is hard to do at an office but a French press and hand grinder are very easy to keep in a drawer at your desk. And if you're desperate you can use the drop brewer to get your hot water.
with a pourover, you'd be doing even less work with less cleanup
Methnks you don't actually like coffee. There are other ways to get ungodly amounts of caffeine.
Milk with some brown flavoring?
Personally tea is my everyday thing. Coffee is a special treat; but I do have a fondness for drip coffee. It makes me feel like I’m at a deli!
Never bothered with espresso, it’s not my thing. I keep it simple. French press, Hario v60, or Clever dripper. Gets it done.
That and I have multiple kettles. An electric kettle for my daily, but also a small stovetop gooseneck and another standard kettle for when I’m traveling or in the worst case if I don’t have power and need to heat with fire.
A friend once tried to convince me to purchase a Rocket Appartmento to upgrade my morning experience. Having to wait 30 m for the boiler was a no go. My ol' reliable does just fine for the first hit.
I love shitty coffee, I love fancy coffee, I love coffee.
that's... no.
i'm not into the fancy stuff, i have only whatever was cheap to get (plastic v60, first-gen aeropress, a french press i got for free) but... if you want to drink coffee, at least drink coffee.
