I really should't drag my feet and get a v60 lol

My first "good coffee" intro was in college when a senior invited me for a drink made with his moka pot

Then years later met a friend that's thoroughly snobbish and made me get an aeropress.

Honestly it's the grinding that I don't want to do for some reason. The steps after is fine somehow, but if I don't feel like I want to grind some beans, I just default to the instant coffee I'm currently liking.

    Just buy ground coffee instead of whole beans. Preground beans aren't quite as nice as freshly ground, but the difference between them is much smaller than the difference between preground and instant.

    Definitely do it then, instant coffee is a pretty sad compared to proper beans.

    What don't you like about the grinding? You can get a manual grinder if you want it to be an activity on itself, or, just pre-ground with a v60 for sure.

    It's okay, I can still enjoy things on the cheaper end. I spent quite some time and money choosing an instant I like lol

    About grinding, idk. If I were to guess, it's motivation to start it, but that's a whole other issue that I'm already tackling with medical professional.

    I already have a timemore c3 something grinder. I was looking into automatic grinders but maybe not when I saw the price lol. I'd rather use the money for other brewing methods. And "thankfully" espresso isn't my style lol so I don't have to chase that dragon.

    Espressos are nice when I got them at cafes that sells and roasts more esoteric beans but it's just too intense for me in such a small dose.
