  There's a single parameter to consider - yourself, that is one's own tolerances and expectations. Coffee drinking lately regained its kinds of ritual, which come with proper inventory and attributes. Mini ceremonies we create for ourselves in the name of caffeine jolt. I once attended an Ethiopian coffee ceremony [1], a bit theatrical, but it has social function, and indeed showcases coffee as it passess from green beans to your cup. By the way, the grounds can be rebrewed twice at least (like good tea). My first feeling was that the ceremony celebrates the coffee, but then I realized that it's really a way for a host to celebrate the guests, basically the result is not in the cup but in the preparations. All of us coffee drinkers maintain some kind of the ceremony, for many (pre COVID19) it was standing in the morning line at whatever coffee-'temple', accepting whatever ended up in the cup with your(?) name. It's when this cult aspect is detached, suddenly all attention is tied to the devices, consistency, origin, etc. [1]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_ceremony https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_ceremony

    "grounds can be rebrewed twice at least (like good tea)" Confession: I was once a missionary. We had a saying about used tea bags: good enough for a missionary.
