The entirety of this thread is people talking about their espresso machines and grinders, or else contrarians talking about their instant coffee.
Am I really the only one speaking up here who simply enjoys "Mr. Coffee"-style drip coffee from a paper filter? This used to be so ubiquitous. Today, when I go to the local grocery store there is more space dedicated to plastic K-cup nonsense than to regular normal ground coffee.
Not only is it easier, it's just better. I feel like the Simpsons principal in the "the kids are wrong" meme, I just don't understand normal drip coffee falling out of style.
- rsync 4y agoI agree with you. A cheap drip coffee machine (sometimes an actual Mr. Coffee) is what I typically find at airbnb or vacation rentals, etc., and it makes me perfectly happy. At home, I have what should be considered "the cadillac" of these type of makers - the Technivorm Moccamaster - and I feel squarely on the correct side of diminishing marginal returns (especially given the relatively low price).
- urbandw311er 4y agoAbsolutely agree — I once went on a tour of a coffee roastery. The guy who ran it was a total coffee nerd; knew 1000 different varieties of beans, taste profiles, etc. When I asked him what he uses personally to make the best cup of coffee he answered without hesitation that his preference is a basic drip filter machine every time.
