I like flavor roasted beans, pre-ground, medium to dark. I use a regular brewer at home, a Cuisanart PerfecTemp 14-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker model DCC-3200. Love it.
Sugar Free vanilla creamer. Sometimes I like to add whipped cream on the top.
I do buy whole bean and love the smell of grinding beans in the kitchen on a Saturday morning.
Cone filtering IMO is far superior to that flat bottom filtering. Change my mind!
I also utilize a cold brew maker. Which is nice. Always have a strong batch of cold brew in the fridge. Cup. Ice. Creamer. Pour. Good to go. Always delicious and you can make it with an incredible kick. Great to drink a cup before workouts.
I can make a great cup of joe at home and put it in a nice travel mug as well. I think coffee houses are the biggest waste of money.
