I got a superautomatic espresso machine a couple years ago and I haven't looked back, I drink far too much espresso, usually with some steamed milk (latte just less milk) sometimes americanos.

I usually get Kicking Horse coffee or Just Us (Roaster in Nova Scotia) Those are available pretty much everywhere in Eastern Canada and usually discounted at grocery stores. They both have a variety of good roasts. My favourite coffee ever was the espresso at POST (RIP) in St. John's NL.

Rad, Im into lattes/cortados for the most part, or I drink light roast pourovers, we have a few good local roasters but Stumptown from Oregon has been my favorite lately

I’m a barista at one of the coffee bars on campus so I don’t really make a ton of coffee at home. Usually I just make cheap coffee in an aero press (if yk then yk)


My go to^





IKEA makes surprisingly great coffee for only being $3 a bag- organic and variety of flavors/ roasts too.




If I wanna treat myself I get the $10 bag of ghost town cause it’s my favorite but pricey


whenever I’m at work though it’s usually espresso with a bit of cream and honey or a dirty chai depending on my mood.

^Ghost town makes some tasty brews.

At home I usually just make Wide Awake brand because it is cheap but a little better than folgers, sometimes I'll get Equal Exchange because they claim to have more ethically sourced products. I used to drink like 8 cups of shitty coffee a day and used the coffee maker as my wake up alarm, then got rid of the automated coffee maker and now I'm happy with 1-2 brews a day.

I'm an aeropress guy and my partner likes her pour over. I just need to get a decent grinder and a scale and I'll be satisfied with my setup and maybe I'll start using some better beans. We also have an old moka pot that somehow showed up while were moving but has yet to be used.

I've only had it a couple times. I liked it.


Just grabbed myself a pot and grinder. Been rocking some decent shit for work. We have no work coffee stash really so ive been getting my life together at home. Been setting it up so it finishes brewing right before i get out of bed. Digging it.

I got a Chemex a couple years ago and I absolutely love it. I’d really like to invest in an espresso machine, but the research is overwhelming.

Your mom has a chemex? Nice.

I really fw stumptown but it’s really expensive in Canada. No. 6 coffee is really good, it’s one of the 4 local coffee companies in my town.

I don’t agree with the ethnics behind how it is cultivated. Do you have poopy breath after drinking it?

Depends on who you get the beans from. Some companies are pretty open with how they treat the animals and the villagers they employ. No poop breather either, IDK what happens if you buy the cheap beans though...

Chemex is good stuff. I broke mine and just use a metal funnel in a mason jar now and it works almost as good.

Anyway, I like the Costco First Colony stuff and I grind it fresh before drinking. Its a pretty good setup. It sounds weird but I actually like putting butter in my coffee, it makes it so I dont get jittery too.

Haha yeah its definitely an overpriced pour over, but at least it looks cool and holds the coffee for you, its nice for multiple cups of coffee while a pour over is only really good for one cup.

Yeah, I keep staying on the fence about getting another one. I probably will though, its expensive but the glass is actually high quality and the taste is better. You can only heat cycle a mason jar with hot coffee so many times before the bottom cracks and dumps all over your counter. It happened to me twice and now I kind of get paranoid whenever I pour a some in the morning.

I'm all about the Moka pot, I've been using them for years. We have a pair of "12 cup" units, make about 14oz each which is the perfect amount for me.

For beans...whatever is organic and local/semi-local at Costco, bonus points if it's on sale.

im using my roommates chemex. Makes super nice and tasty coffee but honestly sucks havening to wake up 20 minutes earlier to boil water and pour enough coffee for me and my girlfriend.

Unpopular opinion but it would be nice to just have a shitty bunn or something for those early mornings so i could use the set time brew.

My friend owns a coffee shop and orders beans from all around the world and roasts them himself. Hes got several La Marzocco espresso machines that are like $20k each. Best coffee i have ever had.

I like the African sunrise blend, but it has a really fruity flavor so if you don't like that then get the smugglers cove.

It sounds like you don't have an electric kettle? If not I'm highly suggest buying a cheap one; the Hamilton Beech one I got at Costco for $18 or something can bowl 1.7L of water in ~3 minutes

i have one. Not the quickest but it does the job. Maybe 5 minutes.....i just more hate standing in my cold ass kitchen waiting for it to brew/needing to pour more over all the time at 7am. Its amazing for lazy morning coffee though when i am not in a rush.

Lots of times it ends with me not putting in the effort and just picking up some coffee on campus. I suppose this is more an issue of not waking up early enough than the actual chemex lol
