re: Of all the fancy coffees, still nothing beats a good ole hot pot of drip coffee

I have an old time metal drip pot. Boil the water and pour into the coffee pot and wait for the water to drip. Not sure you can even buy the old pots anymore but I haven't looked.

You probably can, but it’s kind of a weird middle step between full manual pour over and fully automated pour over, so there likely isn’t much of a market for it. At which point you’ve boiled your own water, you might as well pour it a bit more slowly as opposed to dumping it into a receptacle

Office made Community Dark Roast has to be some of the bitterest shitty coffee made. It also must take a rocket scientist to get it right, because all the people at our office screw it up every time. Medium roast for the win, but for some reason people can't see the difference in the labels and different pots.

We 3D printed some color coded clips to go on the pot handles. We have a 3 burner Bunn in the office kitchen. That way you can see what pot is which in case you prefer dark roast, cafe special, or breakfast blend. We outlawed flavored coffees. That crap would leave a shitty after taste in every pot after that for a month

Man, I used to laugh at the old guys drinking coffee in the mid-afternoon. Not anymore. Now I don't feel right without a fresh pot at 2pm.

My wife grinds beans and uses an old school percolator to make my coffee. She doesn't drink coffee

Be thankful.

waking up smelling a strong pot of drip coffee is nice and all, but still doesn’t compare to waking up sniffing a big ol fat gator tail imo imho fwiw

Fresh ground coffee beans >>>>>>>>>>>>>> pre-ground beans.

Espresso machines are expensive, but they do extract more of the good stuff and less of the bad. They are designed to maintain the exact temperature and pressure to achieve this.

One thing for sure is that drinking it black doesn't help one spell better.

Agreed. Even better with whole beans freshly ground right before brewing

I like it black, but after doing an hour of max-out squats sets, I like to grab a gal and force her to squeeze some tit milk into my cup of Joe. This gives me enough energy to go duck hunting without a shotgun. I hide in the blind, and when a I see some ducks overhead, I jump out of the blind, tear my shirt off and pump my chest. The ducks fall out of the sky, dying of fear.

Ah yes, the humble electrically powered, thermostatically regulated, resistive heating apparatus utilizing controlled thermal expansion, vapor-pressure-driven thermosiphon circulation, one-way fluid valves, and a gravity-assisted hot water distribution and filtration system.

None of that fancy, high-tech glass jar with a screen on a stick nonsense.

OP saw that it was called a french press so he just assumed it was something fancy or complex.
