I make a pot of drip coffee from a $15 machine every weekday and drink it black. I've tried other methods, mostly cold brew, but they were all more expensive and less satisfying
I typically order beans from either Coffee AM (I usually go for their Jamaican Blue Mountain Estate or Hawaiian Kona Reserve) or Moka Joe whose based in in Anacortes, WA (usually getting their PNW Wanderer or Mt. Baker Blend from their Coyote Coffee sub-brand. I mix in about a tablespoon of their White Coffee for some extra brightness and a stronger kick)
I'm a drip coffee guy, too. I used a French press for years, but I finally got tired of cleaning up the mess and the fact that it's not better than a cheap drip coffee machine.
The roast type is the most important. How you make it does very little. It's an Italian roast for me but I like the strong taste.
Same. I tried a bunch of fancier methods like pour-over, french press, and moka pot with expensive whole beans but I always come back to the trusty cheapo drip machine with pre-ground coffee beans.
I really liked the different sections for each sub-brand they had previously. The new design has all of the products together which is easy to navigate but it is less distinguishing about the offerings. Overall, the experience is still a positive one
