Weekdays I'll make an Americano with some nicer beans, 15g in 33g out on a Decent DE1PRO with the Adaptive profile. On weekends I'll make a brown sugar oat milk latte with the same profile but some older beans if I have them since it's a milk drink anyway.
Daily driver is a breville drip. Current ratio is 1200g water to 42g coffee. Usually grind the night before (gasp) so I can just press brew when I’m ready. I have a daily driver coffee that stays on hand but am always happy to grab a new bag of something interesting
Ground coffee in a french press. Pour half full of water, stir, pour again. Leave the lid off for 4 minutes, then remove the scum from the top with a spoon and press. Gets me 3 large cups that I drink with (cow-) milk until pooptime. I’d use beans here, but my wife keeps the free bags of ground coffee flowing (for reasons I cannot share) and the results are still pretty good.
If I need more coffee after this, I’ll use a Philips espresso machine to make either a café latte, cafe au lait or sometimes iced coffee. I use oat milk for the latte/au lait so I can use the milk foam thingie for longer without cleaning it. At the moment I have a few mixed bags of beans brought from Kenya, so that’s nice. Otherwise beans from the supermarket.
The water here is very hard, so I use filtered water.
Whatever whole bean is for sale at the store. Groung coarsely. Put in the French press with room temperature, filtered water. Drank about 18 hours later.
Sometimes I’ll sub in better beans from a local coffee shop.
Really, hot coffee can bother my gums so that’s why I drink cold brew at home.
Local beans pre ground, stored in the freezer to last at least a week. Then a stove top moka/cafeteria poured into a small coffee cup topped off with boiling water to make a mini long black / americano.
