instant: coffee is a drug to you and you have better things to do. you'd sip the slime off a sewer grate if it got you through the day

drip machine: classic, economical, good enough. you are normal. maybe you grind your beans fresh, but probably not

pourover: look at you, with your little beaker and shit. you think you know how to drip the water better than mr coffee. do you have one of those kettles with the long goose neck thing going on? gives you a real sense of control? how sick are you about your grind size? bet you throw around words like bloom and extraction

french press: peak aesthetics over taste, you want a pretty glass pitcher full of mud to put on the table and don't mind grinds in your cup

aeropress: your spouse tried to use it once, it was like a coffee bomb went off on the counter. they get their coffee from the gas station now

siphon: ok heisenberg

actual espresso machine: you should be giving more to charity

keurig: you are a boomer, you're not on this site

percolator: you should be dead by now, what is your secret

moka pot: you are a graphic designer

some kind of traditional ethiopian or iranian method or whatever your mom brought from the old country: hell yeah

some new age instagram shit i haven't even heard of: i'll kill you

the secret is that this bitch works in power outages, it works outside, it works on top of the wood stove, and after a while you just stop bothering to replace your shitty electric coffee maker when this backup $20 Coleman Coffeefucker works just as well (i.e. bad)

I use a percolator. Because I can't be asked to go through a bunch of prepwork for coffee thats gonna be horrible anyway. The only way your gonna get a good beverage from me is if you ask for tea. Then, you better have time on your hands, Tea is to be drunk with friends.

я (россиянка) приехала в армению, где все варят кофе в турке, купила себе турку и тут же стала в ней кипятить воду для чая. где-то здесь висит метафора про понаехавших русских.

I am logging on to defend the pour-over, IDK how people made it complicated and fancy, but it's just a filter cone! You put water into it with a normal kettle, with #2 unbleached filter paper.

I've been using for like 20 years, like my mother before me.

Oh this sends me right to the moon, I'm a recovering pourover guy who now makes 8 truckloads of drip every day for myself, and "u think you know how to drip the water better than mr coffee" absolutely killed 😂😂😂

i just wish that the mr. coffee was made out of cheap pot-metal instead of plastic, even though they never have been because they were invented in 1970. I can't have plastic shit around, it's unfortunate. Putting me in a room with vinyl-framed "energy efficient" windows will make me depressed and there's nothing i can do about it, it keeps me committed to an unwise car because its interior is mostly cold pockmarked metal and i like that. This french press only offers me oppurtunities to fuck up by rushing any part of the process but it's not plastic at least.
