I highly recommend cold brew coffee. We make it once a week or so. My wife grinds her mix of beans, into the toddy, add cold water, let steep over night and drip the next day. Add some brew to a cup and top off with hot water. Cold brew will keep for quite a while in the refrigerator. No fuss, bother and filling the landfill with little plastic cups. IMHO too many simple tasks are over-engineered into ready to fail products.

I totally agree. Go low tech or get a real Italian (style) espresso machine for a few thousand dollars. But only if making coffee is your hobby. Otherwise low tech is good enough, there are so many ways to make good coffee without a machine (cold brew, french press, manual filters, Turkish coffee, …)
