I rarely drink coffee, but I'll do medium roast in a Mr Coffee, black. Cheap, easy, convenient.

#22I do so love my perfectly adequate* Jura automatic espresso machine: https://us.jura.com/en/homeproducts/machines
Push a button, a shot comes out, I add some ice and oatmilk for a nice iced latte every morning. Sometimes I like an iced americano too (watered-down espresso with ice cubes). It's the kind of thing that makes coffee snobs go "yeeeack!", but I go "mmmm... the sweet taste of mediocrity."

#23I make a pot of drip coffee from a $15 machine every weekday and drink it black. I've tried other methods, mostly cold brew, but they were all more expensive and less satisfying I typically order beans from either Coffee AM (I usually go for their Jamaican Blue Mountain Estate or Hawaiian Kona Reserve) or Moka Joe whose based in in Anacortes, WA (usually getting their PNW Wanderer or Mt. Baker Blend from their Coyote…
Mhhhhmmm Moka Joe! Small world. How do you like the new site/e-commerce?

#24I bought a Bunn VP-17 commercial coffee maker over a decade ago and use that. It makes a fresh pot in 3 minutes and it can make 4 gallons of coffee an hour.
Edit: I just looked at the prices these go for currently and I definitely did not pay that much for one. At the time it was around $200 instead of the $400+ they sell for today.

#25I have a Moka pot, a manual coffee grinder, and an electric milk frother. I grind coffee beans every morning, place them in the Moka pot to brew, and finally add heated milk.

I'm a drip coffee guy, too. I used a French press for years, but I finally got tired of cleaning up the mess and the fact that it's not better than a cheap drip coffee machine.
The roast type is the most important. How you make it does very little. It's an Italian roast for me but I like the strong taste.

Same. I tried a bunch of fancier methods like pour-over, french press, and moka pot with expensive whole beans but I always come back to the trusty cheapo drip machine with pre-ground coffee beans.

#29I use an espresso machine at home, and an Aeropress when traveling.
The Aeropress is awesome indeed. I would probably use it at home as well, except that I want to be able to steam milk as well.

I really liked the different sections for each sub-brand they had previously. The new design has all of the products together which is easy to navigate but it is less distinguishing about the offerings. Overall, the experience is still a positive one
