So, this looks like the start of a relatively new community (at least for me), and we surely have some new people coming over from the coffee subreddit, so let's get some conversation going!

What's your current favorite brew method? I've been really getting into my flat bottom brew lately, with the Stagg XF. I just feel it's been a bit more forgiving than my v60, and it's been pulling out some pretty solid tasting notes in my latest beans.

What're y'all brewing with?

EDIT: I absolutely love the traction this post got! And I love seeing all the methods everyone is using daily. Thank you all

Seeing lots of comments from people taking their coffee seriously. And here's me, happy with instant coffee!

Although I have been on a journey from instant coffee, drip, Nespresso, espresso machine and finally back to instant. Albeit still using the espresso machine here and there. Seems like I could try a few new things from the comments here.

While instant isn't as good as a fresh brew of coffee, the real problem I have with instant is that the probability of finding something awful is very very high. And the awfulness can be so so much worse than random beans done in a random drip machine.

What's your own instant favourite right now? I've found some decent stuff with Cafe Direct and Clipper/Marks and Spencer, but could always find more (and potentially better) options.

Honestly it’s whatever cheapest lol. I’m not after “quality” when it comes to instant. It’s merely something quick to drink so I can’t make any worthwhile suggestions.

When I do fancy something a little better, I grind some beans to put through the espresso machine.

To name something though I usually end up with Tesco branded coffee or Kenko.
