Its counterintuitive.....cheaper than a Keurik  coffee maker for a family that uses 10 K cups a day . It doesn't rub your feet :)..but it automatically makes Flat Whites, cappuccino, etc...

I have found that I can get a pretty good cup of coffee from a $30 Aeropress and a $20 electric kettle from Amazon.  As far as beans, I like the Just Black from Black Rifle Company as it seems to pair well with the Aeropress style of brewing.

I like the smell of coffee, just don't like the taste. My wife says she likes coffee, but I think she really likes creamer and splashes some coffee in it so people don't look at her weird.

 I am heavy into coffee. The subject seems almost endless... Along the way I encountered the Aeropress - nothing but excellent reviews. Just so many ways this simple device can constru coffee. It's easy, fast,

 easily cleaned, the filters dirt cheep, easily tucked away for travel...Due to its low cost and many attributes, there are  Aeropress competitions galore.

 texasbrew: How do brew using the Aeropress and your experiences please.

Here is what I am doing now with it.

I am using the upside down method.
1.  I hand grind a heaping scoop of beans (I only hand grind so I don't have as big of a battle with static electricity holding on to my coffee grounds).
2.  I boil water and let it cool to between 195 and 205 deg F.
3.  I add the grounds to the Aeropress.
4.  I add the water to cover the grounds (some place in between the 4 and 3 on the Aeropress).
5.  I start a stopwatch.
5.  I stir for 10 seconds.
6.  I let it idle until 40 seconds.
7.  I top off the water in the Aeropress and let it idle until I hit the 2 min 10 seconds on the stop watch.
8.  During idle I add the Aeropress filter and wet it down.
9.  At 2 min 10 seconds I install the filter cover and invert so that filter is on top of coffee cup.
10.  I gently press until I start to hear a hiss from the coffee grinds.
11.  I then top off my coffee cup with water.

I hope that this helps.

 Thanks texabrew.  All we have to do now is to keep management happy by somehow brewing coffee using pellets.

The Bialetti moka pot is my favorite for making coffee, but I rarely have the patience to stand over it in the morning.

I love coffee.  have ever since 1st cups in my early teens.   also saw/remember the A&P 8 o'clock coffee with the grinders right at the checkout isles clearly here in NJ.   learned black, always drank black.  remember being confused 1st time i ordered a regular coffee (i thought meant black) when i was 16 at dunkin & it came cream & sugar.   i learned what 'regular' meant then.  i've done electric percolators, drip makers, ground my own, french presses, keurig machines, cowboy coffee (camping) stovetop perc's, & that stovetop espresso maker.  love it all.  best way to have coffee is reading the newspaper or possibly having a good chat with someone face to face.  my wife doesn't drink coffee.  none of her siblings do either.  all of her siblings' spouses do though.  weird.  anyways.  just thought i'd share.

I drink a couple of cups first thing in the morning.
Black. No cream or sugar.

And DIG THIS:

I don't like my coffee too strong.

I've had plenty of visits to truck stops at 2:45 AM or so, and the coffee would knock your socks off.
ICK.

 I am with you on that one Trooper.. I like to be able to taste the coffee (black) .  That bitter, burnt and just not properly brewed coffee is a turn off. Some is so strong I get the jitters when forced to drink it.

When I drink coffee, I'm black also.  I remember visiting in Connecticut back in the mid 70s.  We went to an all night coffee shop after a movie, and when I ordered coffee, I was asked if I wanted regular coffee.  That's the only kind I had ever heard of so I said, "Yes."  I didn't know that up there, that meant cream and sugar.  I almost choked.

Being from Boston that was how I was use to my Coffee until I joined the Army.  Another popular way of drinking coffee in New England was ice coffee.  It was served in a big glass with milk and Ice.

So one time I was in Louisiana and asked for ice coffee.  They gave it to me black in a coffee cup with two ice cubes as they had never heard of it.  Ice tea was a different story

Well I guess I am the weird one here. I roast green coffee beans mostly from South America until the "second cracking" to get the oils the way I like them. I seal them up for a day and then grind what I need for the day. I use a Bonavita drip coffee maker. It is pricey for a drip coffee maker but the carafe alone is worth it. It has a shower head for drip. No bells or whistles; just an on switch. This has caused a problem for me because I can't drink any other coffee when I travel.

Same here.  When you're patrolling at 4 AM and that monster in your head tells you to go to sleep, you need a cup.  Truck stop coffee was all we could get and it was a rough.  I bet it would float a horseshoe sometimes.  But it got the job done and kept me from wrecking my unit many times.  My wife could never understand why I couldn't go to sleep when I got home after a night shift.
