Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Successfully making a good cup of coffee is a good start to my day.

I use, in rotation:

  • a French press
  • an aeropress
  • a cucumella
  • a moka pot

Sometimes things go perfectly, sometimes something unexpected happens, and I have to figure out how to roll with it.

Sometimes I just screw around with the factors to try something different: Changing the brew time, paper filter vs metal filter, crack open a new bag of beans or grounds, etc.

It's not the most complex of tasks, nor the most important, but it's something that is solvable.
