I love my cold brew pitcher. I need my coffee grinder since it needs a much coarser grind for the cold brew method. But it comes out so smooth. My second favorite is a pour over drip brew.

Aeropress has been my go to for a while. Otherwise, I like making pour overs

If I have time and my wife is wanting some, our moccamaster. In a rush, my single serve french press travel that you take the grounds with and clean out later. Summer time? Cold brew with a light bean and half vanilla almond milk.

For me it’s a tossup between a fresh cup from my drip brewer (moccamaster) or a good americano. The americano is way slower to make though, so generally I prefer drip.

As the heat sets in though I also love an iced coffee, and for that, it has to start with espresso on ice. Not to diss cold brew, I love that too but never get around to making my own.

I’m probably speaking heresy here, but I’ve never had a french press I really loved. Used one for years when I was the only coffee drinker in the house, but it’s always tasted kind of “meh” to me. Like, not bad, just not anywhere near the hype.

I’ll also toss out points for a cup of disgusting tar boiled in a firetop percolator, because it’s June and I’ve been out camping, and nothing tastes better than a cup of somewhat gross, overbrewed camp coffee on a chilly morning.
