    Sweet man, I'll definitely look into all this so I can hopefully kick the ol' Starbucks to the curb. (And save some money in the long run)

    If you want ease of use, I definitely recommend the Bonavita dripper. It makes a really good cup and easy. Consistency is also key. I always use a scale to measure my coffee out, I used to do water too but that's too much for being awake at 5am so I just eyeball it.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    I'd agree with @uhplifted that putting together a nice cup is always a cool experience. The Ninja Coffee bar comes with this cool little milk frother and directions on how to be a shade-tree baristo! Even has some "adult" spins on coffee beverages! :laugh:

    Damn seems a little overwhelming when you compare it to walking into Starbucks, ordering your drink, and walking out. Lol

    It's like a science experiment every morning! Haha. You dont have to be as precise using a scale but I always do because it makes it just right. But if you do go the home brewing route, get yourself a decent grinder that's adjustable for grind sizes.

    thats is good advise! I try to drink at least 2 of those smart water bottles a day (i just refill the same bottle). Think my issue recently has been this desk job, i got used to manual labor for the last 18yrs and i'm now behind a desk wishing i could go:smash:
