2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

French press. Didn't even know what one was until I was around 50, thought it was some fancy, complicated thing I wouldn't care about.
My wife drinks coffee day and night so we have 4 methods of making it. The cheapo French press is the best IMHO. Use whatever coffee grounds you like, make it as strong or light as you like.
Mine was $11 on Amazon. Finish wore off, looks like shit, works fine.
IMO Aeropress males a better coffee than a French press. Have you tried that?
That's a lot of work to aeropress as much coffee as a french press. I love my aeropress, but it can only do one cup at a time
Ah fair. You can do multiple cups if you top up with hot water. But for volume pour over or French press is the way.
There's an Areopress XL model now that can make more at a time https://aeropress.com/products/aeropress-coffee-maker-xl
I don't like french press coffee, it's too oily. For my money pour over is the way to go.
How does that work?
Hario V60 with a #2 coffee filter. Manual drip coffee. Is very good.
That's my exact set up!
I have a French press but a stovetop espresso maker is my favorite
I used to have a thing for coffee brewers. Would try out so many different options and spend a lot of money on getting them (second hand)
I eventually settled on my Moccamaster. Tis the best coffee brewers I've had and I wouldn't trade it for anything else by now
I got lucky and found a mocha master uno at a garage sale. I really like it but occasionally it gets clogfed by a single grain of coffee and makes a mess does the full size one potentially do the same?
I have had no issues with the large one whatsoever. I have a friend who has had issues with his, but it just needed a good cleaning and has never done it again.
I like the idea of the uno model, but i can make one cup in mine too, and i found the idea of those mini filters unpractical. I also never make just ine (small) cup. I usually make 4, when i wake up and 2 when i just need a single mug. And it is just so fast!
Yeah I had always thought of it as a dream coffee maker so when I found the small one for 5 bucks I was not passing it up. One day I'll upgrade
I found the large one for the equivalent of $7.70 on the local marketplace
I messaged the seller to check if the price was right, and she said she wouldn't go lower 🤷
So I went and picked it up the same day. It was even in the original box with the original measuring spoon included!
Hell yeah, 100x better than a drip.
