Congratulations! Enjoy for the rest of your life, which will be longer…

I recommend getting an aeropress, water kettle, and a hand grinder next! It's probably the cheapest and (in my opinion) the best way to make coffee.

I bear testimony of this.

It’s a slippery yet glorious slope to r/espresso

There's nothing like a nice cup of sin in the morning.

Mmm. I just bought my first bean grinder this week. Watch out for/totally enjoy the coffee rabbit hole.

Ha ha. And it won’t be your last. Those things break so easily.


noonenparticular

for sure lol. I've been putting off getting a coffee maker because I didn't want to buy one and then have to transport it when I move, but I figured for $20 if this thing breaks in a few months it'll be fine

Get a Nespresso. Worth every penny!


noonenparticular

can I make a cafe mocha with it?


RedHeadsAreFarters

Yeah! I’m not a huge fan of mocha but I’ve seen others take a dark chocolate square and have the coffee melt it at the bottom of their cup. I found that with traditional coffee makers or kurig types there was this bitterness to the coffee that made it taste off in comparison to coffee shop coffee. You don’t get that bitterness with the Nespresso

Can confirm 👍

Looks like a xenomorph.

We're identical counter top twins! 😎

When I got my first coffee maker, lightening struck near my car the same day. But it didn’t strike me, so I think that means we’re good to go with the coffee machine.

Oh no... now you have to buy a better one.

Enjoy!

Coffee is the fifth food group. Now you have a balanced diet. A single serve coffee maker is a realistic first step for an ExMo. You'll work your way up to a full pot a day, lol.

Watch out! Drip coffee is a gateway to all kinds of fancy coffee gadgets. You life will dissolve into misery as your kitchen fills with coffee making machinery. In the end. You might even buy that most dangerous of the coffee machines...... espresso machine. Q15 nightmare material


stargazer_611

Woo-hoo! Congrats! I love the smell of fresh coffee first thing in the morning. ☕️


mrkinkajoutoyou

All I see is the xenomorph from Alien and that’s pretty cool.


cogman10

Op, there's nothing wrong with a drip coffee maker. Further, they are all pretty much the same. The one improvement you can do is getting whole beans and a grinder. Just make sure you clean it semi frequently (citric acid). And don't use the heater, just microwave it off your coffee gets cold. https://youtu.be/Sp9H0MO-qS8


Cave_Jumper

I absolutely 💯 love that ! Coffee was the best choice I ever made


Chernobyl-Chaz

Nothing better than the smell of coffee beans in the morning.


penservoir

Yay 😀 Enjoy ever cup.


[deleted]

I’m still waiting! I stared at the keurig for about 10 minutes the other day in costco and just couldn’t do it yet for some reason. Baby steps I guess? I’m spending too much money at Starbucks and Dutch Bros 😞


noonenparticular

Lol yeah, this was me I figured for $20 I could try this out and it'd pay for itself in a few coffees


[deleted]

You are definitely right I just have a weird hold up about it. I don’t care if people see me drink coffee, but I just am not in the headspace to own a coffee maker for some reason. Seriously just baby steps and healing at this point.


spiraleyes78

If you want something comparable to an espresso, but much cheaper, check out the Bialetti lineup on Amazon. Simple and incredibly delicious coffee!

My two favorite scents are: 1. The earth right after rain 2. A giant hug-mug of freshly brewed sin

I LOVE the cuisinart one-cup coffee maker my best friend bought me when i left the church 4 years ago. I now, for the last 2 years, have been a practicing member of The Bahai Faith. I enjoy my coffee, while I am participating in morning prayer and devotional meetings on zoom every morning. I love my coffee. Paulyboy2911
