Not knowing how long it will be until I am able to get more coffee from Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria destroyed the island, I have the PR stashed and have moved into a micro lot from Mexico…awesome stuff here.I like the Rhoades Roast Green Dragon Coffee House out of New Jersey...they do their own roasting daily and have an excellent rotating variety of global beans to pick from. Lots of unique single origin coffees and I can buy through Amazon.

Pendleton x Fire-King Japan
I personally think they've ruined two great designs by printing the logo on the mug.

I need suggestions!
What is your favorite way to make coffee in the morning?
French press?
Pour over?
Something else?
What brand do you prefer and do you buy ground? Or grind yourself? If so, what kind of grinder?Throw em at me!

@Brock In my opinion what matters most is the quality of the water and the quality of the coffee bean used. If you're using good water and good coffee you are going to get a good cup no matter what way you choose to brew. Buy whole bean and grind directly before the brew for best taste. I love cold brew too, but my typical daily kit is as follows:
Kalita Wave, Ceramic Burr Grinder, Gooseneck Kettle, Fresh Roasted Beans of all kinds, Yeti 20oz Tumbler.
Drinking shade grown, organic Peruvian approcassi right now and it is amazing!

I use either a Hario v60 (2cup version) or a French press and enjoy having both options for variety (pour over–brighter cup. French press--more full bodied w/sediment)
Aeropress for travel/camping (makes great coffee, just limited on volume.Burr grinder, for home: Baratza Virtuoso
Travel: Hario handgrinder.
And agree with budpatch that fresh spring water and Freshly roasted (less than 10days old) quality beans is more important than grinder or method.
I switch between single origins and blends, as well as changing up roasters--I have a short list of local favorites.
I'd like to give the Kalitta a try soon, as I've heard nothing but good stuff about it.
Enjoy the jouney!

Thanks for the replies all!!
We recently bought a French press and I have been buying ground coffee. It’s alright but I’m definitely going to look into buying a grinder and finding locally roasted organic beansSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nothing compares to fresh ground beans, and a burr grinder is mandatory in my opinion. I use a Baratza Encore, and have a few hand grinders too. @Chap that Comandante grinder looks great, the handle looks very ergonomic.
90% of the time I am using a Chemex or Hario V60, depending on the company or lack of, 10% split between french press and stove top espresso.

It is and it's one of the most smooth-running hand grinder I know. It is not cheap and I was thinking quite a while wether to do this investment but now after almost one year in daily use I can say it is worth it.
