Pour over.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Pods are most convenient. Some folks treasure that morning cup private moment and indulge themselves with what’s best no matter the cost ben just for a few minutes.

Me I just don’t like cleaning up.

Aeropress, for us. It leaves the most flavors in the coffee.

If you have a bad coffee, thicker filters with another method, like Kalita, can help.

People who worry too much if they are getting the “best possible” coffee are really approaching life all wrong, in my opinion.

Grinding your beans just prior to brewing is the single most important step.

pour over

We have a drip coffee maker. However, when I want a good cup, I put one heaping tablespoon in a $1.75 cone filter holder with a No.2 filter and pour near boiling water thru it

[WKUHilltopper]

Just give me a cup of Joe, dammit.

[Gene Eric]

Drip and immediately poor into thermos once brewing completes. Cooking the coffee on the heating element burns the brew

My My Coffee does just fine

[9YearLurker]

French press for me.

Apparently it’s the one that chemistry student in Breaking Bad came up with. I don’t think he ever had a chance to market it though.

Juan Valdez Instant granules. about 5 dollars a jar at Walmart. Pure Columbian, it’s a medium, mellow nutty aroma.

Nothing compares. Folgers comes close, but not exactly.

[llevrok]

no one has brought up cowboy coffee???

[Secret Agent Man]

For me speed, convenience, and cleanup are also considerations.

My keurig tops them all. Refillable coffee pod with the coffee of my choice, i set brewing water temp.

#3 Pour Over Every Day

I've gotten so used to espresso it's hard to drink ‘just coffee’. That said, pour-over is great but can filter out some flavor - depending on the filters being used. French press is also good - but you have to have the right kind of grind (coarse). I haven't used an Aeropress, but I've heard they're really good. I agree that grinding just before use, and optimizing the grind to the type of coffee and the method used to brew or extract are crucial.

We used to like the Toddy system:

You dump a pound of your favorite grind into their big white container, pour water over the grounds, let sit overnight, then pull the plug and let it drain through the filter into a decanter.

To serve, pour a jigger of the concentrated coffee into your cup and add hot water.

[CaptainPhilFan]

French Press or percolator

Put a pot of water on to boil. In a cup add sugar, CoffeMate and a tablespoon of Sanka. Pour boiling water into the cup. Stir until everything has dissolved. Enjoy.
