After starting on a thrift store Keurig with a refillable cup one that thankfully came with a tablespoon measure with a bag clip

I really got started semi-seriously on a french press, but I really started to pay attention to brew time when I accidentally bought a bag of medium roast.

Dark roasts are very forgiving as far as brew time, but medium roasts are a lot more finicky to brew without over extracting and getting astringent coffee.

From there, I've accumulated an Aeropress, a cucumella, and a moka pot, and they all brew different tastes and textures with the same bag.
