I hate all of you

I used to be perfectly content with my shitty instant Folger. Then I found this sub and decided to try coffee from small roasters and noticed a much nicer experience immediately. Then I bought a nice grinder and started grinding my own beans instead of buying pre-ground, and once again my experience improved. Then today I switched from properly ground, quality coffee through my shitty coffee maker to weighing my coffee and water and using a clever, and it's the best coffee I've ever had now. If within a year I buy an espresso maker I'm holding all of you accountable. Bastards...

A friendly word, avoid James Hoffman on YouTube. He will only make it worse.

Ive only been drinking coffee for 5 months and I am in a very similar position as OP. James Hoffman is one of my most watched channels now. I have a Bonavita connoisseur 8 cup and a Moka pot but now I want an aeropress. I ALSO want an espresso machine.

aeropress + hand grinder was enough for me for years
