@ericallenboyd Ditto for me…I source my beans from a “local” roaster 150 miles from the house. Beans are ordered and roasted within 24 hours. I’ll have them in 2 business days. I need to step up my spro game and typically use a Chemex for my brewing method.
I have a Keurig! 
It varies between beans roasted by The Roastery who are owned by Bella Barista who I bought the machine and grinder from and Allpress Espresso beans.
The Roastery are UK based, roast their own beans once a week and ship every Wednesday. They have a great subscription model that you can stop and start as you please and all bags of beans are dated with roast date. Packaging is a down side when you consider the environment with foil sealed bags then in a Jiffy bag, seems such a waste.
Allpress Espresso are a New Zealand company bit have a roastery in London. I can get their beans from Rapha in Manchester or if I’m in London, direct from one of their cafes. They use paper bags which I like from an environmental aspect but you don’t get a roasting date of beans. That doesn’t really bother me as I don’t have the palate to be able to distinguish between one or two week old beans!
French Press, Mokka, Aero Press, Percolator, Coffee Maker, Hand Filter, Cold Brew (to all the Hipsters: since 1998)…
Beans from a local Roastery, located in a garage.
Maybe I like coffee.

I don’t use a filter. Need to give the cap a good clean after but the rice doesn’t really get through when it starts compacting. Never tried a filter. Also - I put it in my sink rather than cup etc so I can put good weight on it. @PhatNinja
That is actually a great application for the AeroPress. Do you use filters to do this?
So true
My machine at my shop - La Spaziale! Enjoyed a good hour calibrating and perfecting the grind today… I’m super lucky that my working day pretty much involves 70% working on bikes and 30% playing with coffee

You must go through some beans calibrating for an hour, sounds a lot of fun though!
Don’t take this the wrong way… but I hate you.
OK, that’s exactly what I meant to say.

My rig - had it for about 6 years now and still going strong. Would love to upgrade to a cafe grade machine one day soon! Currently using a local Melbourne blended coffee bean, strong and creamy.

Oh, man that is a good coffee zone.
And you know, sometimes a simple drip coffee works wonders too. Anyone else rocking a Technivorm Mochamaster?

I’m not a huge fan of the flavor a keurig produces, however I’ve tried this [Guji](Fresh Roasted Coffee LLC, Ethiopian Sidamo Guji Natural Coffee Pods, Light Roast, Single Origin, Capsules Compatible with 1.0 & 2.0 Single-Serve Brewers, 72 Count https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017Y3QSRO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_NqWbCbGPP2N4P) roast and it’s delicious.

Yeah, some coffees just aren’t good from the Keurig. Thanks for the suggestion I’ll give them a try. I typically stay away from the grocery store pods and have found San Francisco Coffee to be the best so far. We typically get the variety pack (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HS6FQRQ) but the Rainforest Blend is my favorite.
I like the concept of Keurig, but the plastic/landfill issues just drive me bonkers. #bleedingheartliberaltreehuggercyclist
The San Francisco coffee pods I use are all compostable. https://www.sanfranciscobaycoffee.com/index.php/introducing-100-compostable-no-waste-onecup/
Use one every day! Looks just like yours

Absolutely true. It would be pretty boring to have just the espresso option. After all, we Finns do drink a lot if coffee.
At the moment i have three machines that I use daily. A Nespresso machine that I use for espressos and lungos. Then I have a Nespresso Vertuo that I use for bigger mug size coffees. And then I have a Moccamaster for drip coffee. I only use some central European darker coffee brands with the master.
