How do you make your coffee?

    Get better coffee. Not grocery store brand or Starbucks. Check the roast date - keep it within the past two weeks. Grind your own, don’t buy pre-ground.

    Try to go with things like light roast, washed processed - more “speciality”.

    I highly recommend cxffeeblack - I use their Guji Mane for espresso and it’s amazing.

        Grinding my own beans before every cup is the biggest game changer for me.

        If you are considering getting a grinder, the best “budget” bur grinder I’ve used is the Baratza encore (ESP model). I put budget in quotes because it’s still expensive IMO, but a good value for under $400

        Edit: and I use an Aeropress to actually brew my coffee (using the inverted method)
