I prefer a light roast (fruitiness), in a pour over.

I've settled on President's Choice Medium Whole Bean coffee (100% Arabica). I have a timed coffee brewer that grinds the coffee fresh each morning and I fill a themos that I drink through the day.

I've always hated Starbucks coffee - too bitter for me. When I lived in NYC, I always preferred Dunkin Donuts.

I usually grab a couple of cans of Kirkland coffee at Costco. I prefer pour over, wet the filter and discard the water to get rid of the “paper taste”. And a temperature controlled kettle so the water isn’t too hot (200°F is perfect).

I am a big fan of the Lavazza espressos, usually a cup in one of those moka pots
That one's good but I'm far too lazy to make it every morning so I stick to cases of those Donut House k-cups for a quick cup in the morning before I leave 😂

From Jamaica, green bean Blue Mountain Coffee roasted in my coffee roaster and then freshly ground which is somewhat labour intensive but sublime taste, use distilled water.

Kicking Horse espresso if I have the machine, or a local roastery blend, coarse grind in a french press, if I don't. Otherwise, we're getting coffee from a drive-thru.

I get that, I usually wake up early enough to put aside a few minutes to make a nice cup, helps that it tastes amazing.

Whats your method? Drip, french press, aeropress, pour over, etc this will be determind later. Use chatgpt and it will give you good ratios per weight

do you have a grinder or get it pre ground?

if you want something in canada/localish id order detour or pilot coffee beans personally

If you wanna get started with good proper stuff check this out:

What kind of machines do people use? I am looking to move to grinding beans myself, hoping to avoid a lot of mess though.

A coffee machine that grinds beans for itself would be nice.

I avoid as many 2in1 things in life as I can. I learned this the hard way when I bought a TV/VCR/DVD combo back in the day. When one breaks, the other is doomed or shortly next.

If you want to check out a great roaster you can order from check these out:

I will say pour over is probably my favourite but its got a few steps and is single use. I had all of the novelty coffee makers in the past (Keurig, Tassimo, Nespresso) and they are not good. Not only is it heating and leeching shitty plastics up into your body its just crappy old coffee repurposes for convenience. Im a firm believer in starting mornings off with nice rituals to have a better day, personally.

Here is a budget friendly drip coffee machine I recommend:


If I was starting out id just get the Zourishi and ask my local roastry to grind it for drip coffee right now. Good burr grinders can be pricey. I would then think about getting a moka pot for making espressos. You can find moka pots/french presses fairly inexprensive on amazon.

My $00.02. If you want to chat more DM me I love this stuff (clearly) lol
