i got an espresso machine from work because instead of just giving us full bonus last few years they did some annual gift reward thing but backdated the amount of our first reward to how long we'd been working there so my first reward was like 6 years of annual gift budget....so i got the espresso machine. i would have rather had the cash but it's still nice to have an espresso machine

in seattle washington imo it makes more sense to make your own drip and have someone make the espresso for you. so i do that. cosign the aeropress but really dont overthink brew method, grinding your own beans is the part that matters

the brew method comes down to how much volume you want and then how much quality. i'm a guy who likes a 16oz thermos of coffee ready to go as fast as possible so i can hit the road and sip it during commute over the next 30 minutes. so tiny cups don't do it for me because i like drinking liquids constantly. french press also works for same reason because if im in a hurry I can just grab the french press to go and fill up my thermos in the car later

but some people are once-and-done types so maybe they need a different method

but yea home drip, buy espresso is my approach

I'm closer to the coffee snob tier but i'm also poor and also extremely lazy, so i end up not caring that much but I do have standards. I absolutely cannot stand k-cups. even worse are those lovely GreenMountainHouse k-cup knockoffs they give you at a hotel, nor can i stand nestle instacoffee or whatever. that stuff is genuinely vile. i dislike that hotels have gotten rid of small Mr. Coffee drip machines in favor of k-cup-style non-sense

gas station coffee is ok if it's actually brewed on-site relatively fresh in at least those giant insulated drip-coffee containers. ideally they'd have the dinner-style drip machines. i'm usually making enough at home in a big zojirushi thermos that I don't need to go out of my way to buy some from a gas station

not my first choice of tool as its a bit too fiddly when i'm groggy and tired in the morning, but its ok. i prefer cowboy coffee at that point

it's more like something you'd make in the evening after a dinner imo when you're already alert/awake.

Stimulants often do not have the intended effect on someone with ADHD. If you love drinking big pots of black coffee and taking a nap afterwards its probably extremely normal and unrelated to the first sentence.

Someone mentioned Costco coffee earlier and yeah we’ve gotten good mileage out of the light roast beans from Ethiopia that they sell. We just looked for light roast whole beans and that was the only one. For some reason people love dark roast even though the flavor sucks and it has less caffeine.

Since I’m super lazy we used to make a big pot of cold brew with the Toddy, and then pour that into an empty wine bottle, using vacuum stoppers to seal it. Lately I’ve been doing the aeropress even though it is more work it lets me procrastinate longer. And it’s a decent little morning ritual.

I’m not sure how strong my coffee is I just jam the little manual grinder full of beans and add a tsp of raw sugar and two pinches of salt and then fill the rest of the glass with whole milk which probably isn’t popular around here but it is delicious so whatever!

I also try to take a couple days off a week so that I don’t become completely dependent.
