#26052 — Best way to get a good coffee?

I saw the group is pretty empty, so I am trying to get some discussion 
going:
What is, for you, the best way to make  good coffee? How do you like yours?

I see a lot of people who really like espresso for example, but it's 
rarely that I manage to taste an espresso that actually is worth drinking.

Pourover, Melitta cone, paper filter. Rinse the paper filter first!

Using a kettle, you can get the water much hotter than most coffee
makers, resulting in a better cuppa.

I alternate between that and a Gaggia Brera bean-to-cup espresso
machine. If you find espresso to be too bitter, sometimes changing the
beans can make a difference.

my issue with home-made espresso has less to do with the bitterness, and 
more with the one time one of my roommates had to go to ER because a 
moka pot exploded into her face. ever since then I have been very 
careful with this device.

(I also had an espresso machine but I just couldn't get good coffee out 
of that)

My first cup in the morning is a pour-over, usually Peet's coffee with a
paper filter.

My following cups are espresso drinks. I bought a bean-to-cup espresso
maker, I can get a single, double, or lungo shot with one button push.
It's probably 75% of what I'd get with a more serious espresso maker.

Oddly, brewed coffee will keep me up at night, but espresso doesn't do
that nearly as much.

Usually I make my wife a no-foam latte for the road mid-morning, then
make myself a double macchiato with the leftover foam. Can't have good
foam go to waste!

You need two things to make coffee, Heat and pressure. Moka pots are a
great cheap way to get both of those things.
