Do you like coffee?

No more Keurig for me. Love my Nespresso machine.

Funnily enough I have always found my old Moka pot to produce really bitter coffee (possibly down to my incompetence) so I rarely used it. I got rid of it as I now have an induction hob and it doesn't work.

Strictly V60 brews for me and I've recently acquired a second hand espresso machine with advice from a very helpful FC forum member. It's taken a while but I've finally dialled in the grind and timing to produce lovely shots

I bought a Keurig (new) on an Amzn good Friday deal or some such. On the 3rd (!) cup, things went to shit. Returned, and eventually got some cheap 1-cupper from Amzn (which uses the Keurig system, but also allows for the generic-style basket where you can put your own ground coffee in and bypass those plastic pods.

Sometimes, I'll even make 2 (or 3!) cups in a day. But the one-cuppers do the job for me.
Yes, I do realize this is blasphemy for those who have the really nice espresso machines. I like espresso. I just don't like the work that goes into it. 3min or so to a cup of hot coffee is about my patience limit. And I ain't payin' $8 / cup at Sbux (I always request the extra shot, if I'm desperate enough to enter a Starbucks or some such.

Now, tea? I'll actually go to the trouble of using a tea kettle, and using loose-leaf (in a 'baller', as I call it). My DDW was a tea nut, and it transferred to me before she passed. I suppose there are machines for that, too, but the fact that I'm not using the convenient tea bags s/b proof enuf that I at least make some effort, there. (and, yes, there was an obvious (?) joke I could've made there; I declined).
