French press for "regular" coffee and an Proteo Grande espresso machine I've had for years for espresso and the like.
Whole beans get to take a ride through a burr grinder.
Ninja Coffee Bar. Super convenient. True coffee taste. Also gives the option of making an iced coffee, perfect for a summer day or to mix a cold coffee cocktail or martini.
Cuisinart DGB-700BC Burr Grind & Brewâ„¢ 12 Cup Automatic Coffeemaker...
It grinds then brews, pour into my wifes travel cup, my travel cup, the rest goes into a shared cup for drinking while getting ready. A little sugar, a little milk and all she wrote. Clean up and refill is 2 minutes or less. Has a bean hopper on top that holds about 1/2 pound of beans that normally lasts us about 5-6 days.
The Trinity ONE is a specialty coffee brewing revolution. Brew your favourite pour over, press, and cold brew, all in ONE.
Mine comes in next week so I haven't tried it yet but in theory it should taste like an aeropress (depending on how you use it).
Also if you want more body from your aeropress turn it upside down and do an immersive Brew. I generally Brew mine for about 4 mins on a coarse grind before turning it over and plunging it.

Cool Beans, pun intended!
So, it sounds a lot like you're gonna have to find a new home for the Aeropress, yes?
I'll PM you my address.
Then, I can evaluate.
BTW, Gma, Ma, always ground up our beans in a turn of the century, walnut, finger-jointed hand grinder. Once in a while, they had me fetch Eight O'Clock coffee, ground at the cash register, from the A&P.
Most often, just bought the beans.

I feel your pain. I used a hand grinder for years before I gave up and bought an electric one. It made my mornings 100% better. I still use it when travelling but it kills me every time. By the way the aeropress is hands down the best Brewer to travel with. I have had a few wierd looks from airport security though.

Ah, no pain at all, my friend; more like warm fuzzies.
When I was quite young, we didn't have electricity, gas, or indoor plumbing.
Scotch: Current favorite- The Arran (anything by them), Glenmorangie 12yr Lasanta, sherry cask finished. The Balvenie Double Wood, also like Oban 18yr, and The Glenlivet Nadurra (Oloroso sherry cask finished) among others. Neat please.

I don't care for much Starbuck's but the wife & I love their Verona. We brew it strong too. Dark roast w/o being burnt or bitter. We use a Ninja coffee machine and love it too. We also have a Mixpresso K-cup in which we use Barista Prima French Roast (strongest I've found), and a French press. We do the French press on lazy mornings when we want to feel fancy, so maybe twice a year.
No coffee here, haven't touched it in more than 35 years.
The caffeine turns me into a rocket ship, take off and don't land for a while so stay away from coffee.
I have purchased a second coffee maker it is a stove top expresso pot and I like it, I use it every morning. It says it is a six cup pot but I make one big cup every morning. I am now buying whole beans and grinding my own. I like strong coffee black. I still have my Aero Press as well.
We have discovered B52 coffee, we make this after dinner treat with decaf coffee.
Neither me or the wife drink coffee but I have been making sous vide ice coffee for the daughter since she is home from college since March. She went through a few cups during finals
I use a Bodum french press and get my ground coffee sent from Boca Java, based out of Denver. Really good selection of beans that is roasted and then shipped fresh. They recently had a fire that put their roastery out of commission for a while, but they are back in action and I can't wait to get my next shipment.
I don't drink a ton of coffee, but the wife has a couple of big cups every morning. She broke the pot to the black and decker drip I bought years ago, and so I took the opportunity to purchase an electric perc. The flavor is so much better than the Mr coffee's and all. She agrees!
Mr. Bones , I believe I have the exact same coffee grinder! My mother is getting up there in age and so handed down my great grandmothers grinder (which may have actually come from her mother even, no one is certain). I haven't used it as it would need a good cleaning and some repair work on the box.
Flavour is definitely MUCH better, an smoother than a Mr. Coffee, an takes th same amount of time...Win-Win!
Haven't seen my Mr C in absolutely YEARS, it's buried deep back in a lower cabinet lol
My grinder also was handed down, it was already older than Moses when I was a child, an I'm closin fast on 60, nowadays...
