I've had all kinds of "machines".
Coffee Press
Aeropress
Stovetop Espresso
Glass Pour over....with measured amount and controlled temp. water
Keurig
Coffee maker that fresh grinds before it starts to brew
Drip coffee maker
Percolator...stove top and electric
Enamel stove top for "cowboy" coffee....put coffee in bottom fill almost to top and boil. Put about 1/2 cup cold water in it to make the grinds go to bottom.
I've had books that explained the bean types, roast, grind, amount(by weighing on a small electric scale) and how much water and how hot to the ratio of coffee and how long to let it set before serving.
Bottom line: I now just use a Mr. Coffee 12 cup BUT now I have a very distinct preference to the brand.
I like various and numerous types from Louisiana(Community) & New Orleans(Cafe Du Mond) to Chock Full O Nuts to New Mexico Pinion Coffee to Mexican/Veracruz to Guatemalan to...............
I don't use a grinder anymore and I buy bags already ground. NO SUGAR!!! Once in a while a tablespoon of creme or milk to knock off the acidic taste after 7-8 cups, and maybe an ice cube to knock off the heat to save my tongue or the roof of my mouth.
I always come back to.....don't hate me...don't kick me square in the n*ts....Starbucks
And I do like McDonald's and Folgers 1850 brand....That's it for me.
And one of my favorite places to drink coffee....at the bottom of the page.

Everyone knows how much I love Vegas and what's going on there as I type this..CV-19. But one of my favorite places to sip a warm cup of Starbucks is in front of the Golden Nugget EARLY in the morning. NO ONE there except me and the pigeons that I feed.
