Grind my own beans and use a French press. I'll swear on the difference. By the way, coffee snobs unite! What's your brand?
Dedgeton
I think the biggest game changer is upping the quality of water you use.
Shayrad
I prefer the gas station coffee that's been sitting there all day at the end of the night. Fresh coffee doesn't give the full flavor
fakefucknfireplace
Since we we have been working from home started using pour over with freshly ground beans. It tastes so much better than drip
anitabieror6
i chuckled at this meme cuz my pour-over pals. I enjoy pour over but I'm addicted to the warm-up. gotta have drip or perc for that.
anitabieror6
i am all about the fresh ground beans tho. I think that makes the most difference because i get the cheap beans too.

Syntaxerror2
It does taste better (seriously, try it) BUT most people drown their coffee in creamer at which point it no longer really matters.
Akreyeiu
I like heavy cream in mine, so to counter I add more grounds to make it stronger.
HenryLongfellowIII
Creamer is an abomination. https://www.richwhip.com/files/Coffee-Rich-Original.pdf
Listeningtokpop
Some ways do taste better. Same reason I grill a steak instead of microwaving. It takes longer and more work, but it tastes better.
madrush
yeah but I don't grill a steak every day, whereas I drink coffee everyday
Listeningtokpop
Even every day, the time commitment from using ground coffee and grinding coffee is what? Like 20 seconds?
datteslur
Sometimes it's 100% more work for 1% better product, at some point the gains just aren't worth the effort.
CollateralMarmot
Apparently coffee partially digested by a civet, some kind of Asian cat is the best. French press or oat milk latte works for me though
FrogBotherer
There are major animal welfare concerns over Kopi Luwak though - the increased demand has apparently lead to some "battery farm" conditions.
CreepyPhlox
Omg, the chai oat milk latte from Dunkin’ has changed my life haha!
Colopty
Ah yes, kopi luwak. The coffee everyone recognizes, but no one wants to try despite being curious about the supposed high quality.
PeteThePerv
it's good. about a factor 50 too expensive.
somnif
Ehhhh, best is questionable. Most expensive, certainly, but most of it is just mass farmed crap for tourists.
superswaghacker
There was a similar blend you could find at BAKE in Phuket, except the coffee beans were digested by an elephant.

Instant coffee is better

I have a good one similar to that, my brand is Bialetti. Basically makes espresso.
snapplebee
Love, love, love bialetti
snapplebee
If you buy one, pay attention to it!! I've burned the handle off when it bubbled over...
PaulWasAlreadyTaken
I’ve got a six cup one and use it for a mug in the morning. Anything else now just tastes thin.
kirmokum
you're basically drinking 6 shots of espresso.
PaulWasAlreadyTaken
I didn’t realise until a friend pointed it out. It’s just how I like my coffee, but only first thing in the morning.
kirmokum
i did that for a week but i needed to dial it back.

We started making cold brew once a week and adding hot water to it. Perfect cup of joe every single time and it's super fast and easy to do
arfysdad
Also a fan of my cold brew. Smoothest cup of coffee ever and so easy to make.
ajchafe
I make it at the start of a vacation. Keep a jug of concentrate in the fridge. It tastes so so different. Love the stuff.
FrogBotherer
It do be like that tho, after a point one does have to wonder how much of the benefit is psychological though.
PeteThePerv
i feel once you get a cloth filter, you've crossed a line
ObscureReferencing
almost all coffee is ok, but it goes from "i want to finish this sour piece of shit as fast as possible" to "How fast can I get a refill"
CreepyPhlox
For me, coffee is a pleasant morning routine to start the day.
FrogBotherer
Totally I tend to drink loose-leaf tea and aside from how much nicer it tastes, the ritual of making it is a nice calming exercise to me.
tegfdd77

ajchafe
I own five or six different types of coffee makers and am not ashamed of it. Chemex is best. Drip for workdays.
Robvp
I can't seriously go back to drip, moka, press or espresso are my go to choices even if I have to get up earlier for the ritual
ajchafe
We just like drip for going to work. Also makes the other types feel a little more specifical.
justareallylongemailaddress
Wait, you brew ChexMix? I might have to re-evaluate my complete boycott of coffee.
Milkmannnnnn
Getting the correct rye-chip-ratio makes all the difference!

mity0k23
Current favorite - Moka Pot
Draiki
I love my moka pot!
RuthlessRuben
Best compromise in my opinion. Pretty good coffee, not too complicated to operate, and much less waste than capsules or filters.
idontlikepickingusername
Aeropress is pretty simple and zero waste with a metal filter.
RuthlessRuben
Not gonna argue that, I just like using Mokka pots more, probably a habit thing too, have been making my coffee like that for 10 years now.
idontlikepickingusername
Yeah, coffee routines are definitely a thing. I
extraordinaryagility
I bought one but did not realize it would be so small, doesn't even make half a fkn cup. Useless piece of junk. Shoulda sent it back.
kirmokum
moka pots basically make espresso shots. add hot water to make an americano.
mity0k23
Bummer. Swap it for a bigger one. They come in different sizes.
IStartConversationsAndThenGetBoredWithMyOwnPoint
Quite; 1-2 rounds of that and I can feel my face in front of my face. Not a big CFE drinker so the "hassle" for a good cup is negligible.
mity0k23
Try DeathWish coffee, if you want to feel your face in front of the face in front of your face :)
Wigglynoodles
Try devil mountain, it's like twice as strong, I thought deathwish was intense till finding it, full blown crackhead energy lol
mity0k23
Damn, son. Do you snort it?
Wigglynoodles
Haven't tried that but one cup is plenty for an entire day, every drink is pretty much a normal cup of coffee
Mncdk
Good coffee is mostly just using fresh beans. Better is grinding the beans to order, not days/weeks before. They go stale pretty fast.
freshage
Can confirm. Bought a bean to cup machine a while back. Fresh grind makes all the difference.
RawChicken
Storage too, freeze beans and refrigerate grounds.
LadyBith
I can't believe how many people don't grind their own...A simple burr grinder is cheap, easy to use, and it tastes WAY better.
FrecklesIRL
Water, too. Folks will brew with tap water and wonder why it tastes like shit. Coffee is 90% water, use filtered.
Plaird
Plus way less roaches in the coffee when you grind it yourself
MarshallDaemon
That's all I need is to make it more inconvenient. I drink it black as it is and I can tell you certain brands are bad.
Canofminus
My wife gave up coffee b/c she started to dislike the taste. Since I was the only one drinking I switched to a french press w/preground 1/?
Canofminus
& then I decided to try fresh ground & bought a grinder. I really liked it, gave the wife a sip & she asked why did it taste to good 2/?
Canofminus
I told her & she got really upset & said "Why did you wait so long to try this? I want coffee every morning too!" 3/3
eatadickimtinyrick
If you wanna get really pretentious about it, buy a countertop roaster and get fresh beans.
UnremarkablyInteresting
within 30mins of grinding.
HenryLongfellowIII
Yes, and you have to grind them correctly for the task. Not too fine for press coffee. I am not sure roasting yourself is worth it.
Dentistman
Everything would smell of coffee including your underwear
HenryLongfellowIII
I have a small roaster, but I don't really taste much difference and it's probably not as even as the mammoth commercial roasters.
iCanOrderPepperoniPizza
Beans oxidize much faster after grinding and, though, you do want some of the gasses to release, too much gas loss changes flavor & aroma.
photog
And letting it steep. I think saw a video on grind size and basically just don't go to thick or thin.
Brommith
French press is very coarse, about as coarse as you can get. Turkish coffee is extremely fine.
Brommith
That depends entirely on the kind of coffee you're making, and in truth, different blends will have different optimal grind sizes.
lurkilydurkiler
Hand pour for the win IMO
bingotown
Yeah, I have a hand grinder and coffee is def better but very inconvenient.
TheyDontKnowAndYouCantTellEm
For me BETTER water was far more important than "better beans"
Myfirstgirlfriendturnedintothemoon
We do the Eritrean coffee ceremony almost everyday in my house. Just leaving tap water out on the counter and letting the chlorine out helps
TheyDontKnowAndYouCantTellEm
Bring it to "not quite" a boil. Leaves some dissolved oxygen. Tastes better.

SarcasticComment
Would agree. Freshly ground coffee for French press, mocha, or espresso taste better than out of the can American Drip. Just need the time.
Bmxtucker
I’d argue that the difference here is hard to miss. It’s genuinely Naturally sweeter and less acidic using those things
SkamanSam
I notice the taste between pre-ground and not, but I can just as easily drink shitty gas station coffee and not complain.
prismalaa
coffee is precious and when you coddle it, it gives your life meaning. Or anxiety, both are swell. Also why I poop.
apeshigh
Or don't give a shit, it's not for taste its for caffeine
Wigglynoodles
That's why I buy devil mountain coffee, has over 1100mg of caffeine in a cup
MrPepperPants
Also if the beans are burnt or water is too hot that will drastically change the flavour...
taylornbear
If a majority of people won't notice how drastic can it be?
iCanOrderPepperoniPizza
Most people think a steak is a steak. Even a bit over cooked. Overcook it too much and anyone will notice. Steak lovers can tell by touch.
taylornbear
If only a very small percentage of people would notice I'd say by definition it's not a "drastic" change.
iCanOrderPepperoniPizza
What I’m getting at, is it’s subjective.

So... you end up with Starbucks for a fraction of the price?
IStoleALoafOfBread

The flavor of the oil that gets filtered out of drip makers truly makes a difference. It adds a fruity/floral flavor!

I got a press for camping and use a drip daily. There is zero difference in taste using the same coffee and the press is less convenient.

RollingFox
Clever dripper or any variant of it with a metal filter give similar tasting coffee, but are way easier to clean up.
awkfaceawk
It’s not the grounds cleanup with drippers that bothers me. It’s the biofilm buildup in the nooks and crannies of the machine.
RollingFox
Clever dripper is simpler. It's just the filter holder part with a valve at the bottom that opens when lowered on top of a cup.
TurtleyEnoughForTheTurtleClub
Not really. Dump out the grounds, boil water in the electric kettle, let it sit in the French press for 30 seconds, dump water, rinse.
TurdBurglar3000
That's hell of a lot more hassle than just throwing the filter away.

I used to just crunch down tablespoons of dry instant when I didn't have time to actually make it. I dont have coffee for the taste.

I LOVE AEROPRESS!!

I once worked in a hotel kitchen where the hot tap was drinkable and 82c. aeropress... on tap. I hated the job but loved the endless coffee

Morning coffee is always about the balance between quality & the level of effort my foggy, pre-coffee brain is willing to exert.

I bought a super-expensive bean to cup machine, makes a flat white with one button-press. Tastes fucking amazing.
soulonswole
what brand?

Why isn't the coffee good?
amp99
Still good, just not as good as the AeroPress. Probably a combination of the less consistent grind and few minutes brew time with... 1/2
amp99
AeroPress versus ~30 second extraction period with the bean to cup machine. The machine's coffee is still very drinkable for me though. 2/2

And presumably a lot easier. After a year working at home I really wish I'd invested in a bean to cup machine early on.
amp99
Yeah, I'd say it's definitely worth taking a look at getting one.
WhichIsIt
Is it one of those super automatic machines? What brand? I’m considering one out of the laziness
amp99
Yeah, it does everything automagically. The one I've got is the Beko CEG7425B. Had it for almost 3 years and it's still going strong.

That’s all that matters

Dude. Aeropress is like the easiest thing

And cleaning an aeropress is a snap on top of making some yummy coffee.

In the morning, everything is too much.

It's not hard, but it takes a lot longer than the bean to cup machine.

Aeropress and French press, at least once you have a routine down, about as many steps as a drip coffee maker. I worked in a house with a1/2

2/3 A little coffee station essentially, where she had her grinder and areopress. She’d usually leave me some when she ground hers.

3/3 water in a kettle, push em through. Pretty simple, esp at 7am. Too bad that lady actually sucked in important ways, had great coffee
graft
Aeropress is great for one or two cups, but it is a lot more work if you drink 3+ cups
idontlikepickingusername
At that point just go French press or drip I guess
somnif
Several minutes to grind the beans, (if done upside down) adding the water in stages to allow absorption. The "flip" can be awkward, too.
idontlikepickingusername
I've used the press fit years and never once had trouble flipping it. Are you grinding with a hammer? How does it take minutes?
somnif
My hand grinder is slow? Dunno.
enferno8
Minutes?? You hand grinding? And measuring your dose? Preinfusion only needs 20-30 seconds and isn't even necessary?
somnif
Electric coffee grinders are one noise that just really messes with me, so yeah I grind by hand.
WaterUnderTheRocketAppliances
You using coffee beans, or just whatever beans you find laying around?
Omnimorph2112
Baked beans.

Important distinction.

Beans? Luxury. We used to dream of having beans to make coffee. We'd pour water through old rolled up newspapers

Oh we used to dream of old rolled up newspapers. We had to use our stale sweaty work socks from the day before
lostinamapfactory
You were lucky to have socks! We'd take the wet newspapers, wear them to work on our feet, and then use them to make our "coffee" again
Wireframe
Oh what we wouldn't have given to have wet newspapers to wear. We would have to tape sandpaper to the soles of our feet! Rough side up!
