My favorite coffee is to boil it on the stove in a pot and pour it through a strainer. Just throw the grains and water in a pot, get it to boiling and then simmer it for a bit.
My grandpa always made coffee that way, never owned a coffee pot.
206ers are more refined and in general, we prefer not to strain our coffee with a strainer or our teeth.
Two shots of Nespresso. I just use the Pete's stuff from Costco. Pump of vanilla. Whip and heat up your milk and add that to make your double shot vanilla latte.
If I was going to drink just coffee, I'd go back to using the AeroPress. That's the *only* way to make and drink the best cup of coffee you'll ever have.

Grind whole beans in a burr grinder. French press, add boiling water stir, 10 minutes stir again, coffee. This method works well anywhere you can boil water. Just added a electric tea kettle so more heating up the kitchen in summer boiling water.

If at home, 3 mounding scoops of high quality ground single origin in the el cheapo Mr. Coffee. Why make things difficult?
If backpacking, fishing, hunting, outdoors, it's Hula Girl Instant Kona. HG is the most amazing instant on the planet. Forget everything you know about instants. I'm seriously, seriously impressed - it's delicious and that does not compute. It literally tastes like freshly ground Kona. (3) 4 oz. bags are $30 - 40 on Amazon. (1) bag makes 30 cups. That's (90) cups for amazing coffee on the go. That's like 30 - 40 cents a cup. I should be compensated for this endorsement or something.

House Blend beans from Olympic Roasters. Ground for cone filter. Drip coffee pot. Makes good coffee and is pretty simple. I also have a small French press for when I just want to make a single mug of coffee. Works well also, but a little more clean up.

I prefer to grind whole bean African French roast from my local badass coffee joint. I have a boiling kettle and pour it over with the no 2 filters. Lots of cream. Perfect cup every time. Easy. Fast. And the people who own the coffee place I buy from are awesome people.
Imagine living such an unfulfilling depressing life that you have to take a bitter stimulant in the morning to motivate you to get out of bed because you fill your bodies with toxic chemicals and need it to feel normal. And then imagine dedicating your whole life and existence to brewing techniques, sustainable sourcing, roasting levels debating over which piece of this materialistic product was 'better'. Imagine being ignorant to the toxic fumes which harm the workers roasting beans or the exploitative harvesting by slave level labor by some suffering person of color in a third world country. Imagine wasting your life metaphorically playing around in an endlessly deep pit of excrement, drinking it in your cup, splashing it all over you and your friends and dunking each others' heads underneath.
You should try drinking coffee in the morning instead. It's a much better drink.

Or, try this..... imagine living a such a fulfilling, uplifting life that you get to indulge in one of natures fine gifts, looking forward to getting up and starting your day without having to worry about the wrong side of the bed and whining about somebody else doing something that doesn't effect you...
Favorite way to make coffee is to pull into the drive through and let some skinny busty bikini babe brew my beans.
But not really though the coffee is pretty terrible at those places... I hear.
Dutch Bros is the worst tasting crap ever. Also never understood why so many people would put Dutch Bros stickers all over their cars. Weirdest brand to rep ever.

I have a lady at home who buys good coffee, puts it in my coffee pot at night, and it starts brewing at 6am. At 6:15am when I wake up the pot is just finishing.
