My morning ritual is a 20oz cup with an AeroPress. Takes me 7 minutes total including grinding the beans.

Would you mind expounding on your steps/timing?

  VERY roughly: - bring a full Bonavita kettle to 205f - hand grind 16-20g beans to roughly ‘beach sand’ - bloom For 25 seconds by while slowly pouring and simultaneously agitating - fill to the top with water - start a 25-45 second extraction at the 110 second mark - top off the 20oz porcelain cup with water (by this time it has cooled to around 195f) - push out the puck and rinse I use the inverted method. I also use a hand grinder because, uh, I sorta like the meditative aspect of it. And I do think you can get a higher quality grind for cheaper with manual grinders. I’m not willing to spend the hundreds on a nice electric. Maybe I’ll do a video of this process at some point!

Ooh, what's your ritual? Not to brag but I've got my perfect cup down to 2 minutes including cleanup: - Kettle emptied, filled and on (10 seconds) - Oat milk into frother (10 seconds) - Grind beans - electric grinder on medium size, 2 scoops (1 second, a mere button push) - prep Aeropress with filter (10 seconds) - grounds into Aeropress (a delicate operation, 20 seconds) - Kettle has boiled, stopwatch started and water up to Mark 3 (5 seconds) - Stir grounds (not on critical path) - When stopwatch reads 25 seconds, plunge over course of 5 seconds - Empty Aeropress and rinse it (5 seconds) - Pour frothed oat milk (5 seconds) - Rinse milk frother (15-20 seconds) This is results in a very delicious latte, the best method I've found so far and also amazingly quick!

  I love your description, but want to add one heresy. I use a microwave to heat the water. Where I live, my tap water is a pretty consistent temperature, so I can use a consistent time on the microwave to hit the right sub-boiling temp every time. 1:50 in spring to fall, 2:00 in winter.
