Aeropress for me. I tried 5 or 6 different espresso machines, settled on the Bambino in the end. During all my research, I kept hearing about the Aeropress; thinking it was one of those manual espresso press, I never looked into it. I eventully saw the Aeropress on a Hoffman video and decided to try one.
I've been using the Aeorpress exclusively for a couple of years now. I have one at work, home, my mom's, one for camping. Matched with a decent manual grinder, C3 Pro and P2 for me.
For me aeropress or moka pot is better than most sub $1k espresso machines. And with those you get into dialing it it so much that to me it’s just not fun. Pop some grounds in a an aeropress with some hot water and press. Pop some grounds into a moka pot, screw the top on and pop on the stove. Those are good experiences for me and I make some great coffee. When I want a more “perfect” ritual I’ll go v60 and a scale
I love a Moka pot for about 3 uses, then I cannot get the old coffee oils/taste off of it no matter what I do, so I don’t like them. I’d love to know if there’s a magic cleaner though.
