What's the best way to brew a pot of black coffee in terms of cost, time, taste, and minimal pretentiousness? I would just get a cheap drip machine, but they seem like a bitch to clean. It seems my options are pour over, moka pot, or french press.

i have owned all of those at one point or another and I say french press is best

pour over needs some babying when you make it, but clean up is easy. moka is fantastic but clean up is annoying. French press is easy to clean and easy to make, and it makes fantastic coffee in general since you get that emulsion factor and all

Cold brew. Just shove it in a bottle in the fridge overnight and you'll have coffee in the morning.

Bunn-o-matic. It's the pour over machine that NASA used to put men on the moon.

I like french press in general. Have the balance of easy to clean, good coffee, and simple process. They're also cheap so you really aren't gambling too much on one.

Take the Bripe-pill.
You get some great cowboy coffee, and you piss off everyone. Non pretentious coffeefags get mad because they think you’re a pretentious faggot, and actual pretentious coffee faggots get mad because people are associating you with them.

Here's my so-good-you’ll-cum-yourself iced coffee recipe, I hope you guys make it and then tell me what you think:
Ingredients:
>Ground cafe du monde (or preferred coffee. Cheaper coffees require no cold brew hot bloom and can be directly cold brewed).
RATIO: ONE CUP COFFEE-4 CUPS WATER
>Star anise (~2 pods/1 teaspoon),
>Vanilla extract,
>Cloves (2-4 cloves to taste; you can always add more at the end but you can't take away!),
>Cinnamon (about 1/2 to 1 stick, or, 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground),
>Ginger (4 teaspoons),
>Nutmeg (1 teaspoon. Remember that nutmeg is sweet and you're adding sweetened milk, this recipe makes 4 servings!) to taste,
>1/4 cup coconut cream (NOT CREAM OF COCONUT, that is sweetened), 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk (total, so 1/16 cup or 1 tablespoon per drink, of each),

Cold brew, hot bloom your coffee: pour about 1.5 cups of hot water over the grounds, shove your spices and vanilla in while it's still hot, allow to bloom for 30 seconds, then pour over the rest of your water. Let steep in the fridge or at room temp--covered, obviously--overnight. Let those flavors get to know eachother and mingle. You can add your 1/2 cup coconut cream and 1/2 cup S.C. milk now, or 1/16 cup each, per drink, when you are serving it. I prefer now.

Take that bitch out, filter it through a fine meshed sieve. Drink it.

Aeropress is probably the best, easy peasy to use, only takes a couple minutes, and makes a great cup. Plus it doesn't even necessarily need a gooseneck kettle which is pretty pretentious, it's entry snobbery right next to buying a fellow mug.

Drip. It's just automated pourover. Sure it won't taste as good but for me the convenience makes up for the sacrifice in flavor. Plus they're not pretentious - everyone knows how to use one. Only issue is
>cost
The $50 mr coffee will ruin any beans you buy. You'll need a bonavita at the very least which might run you some money. I think it's worth it. My cuppa is one of the most relaxing parts of my day aside from the daily beer

French press makes the tastiest coffee but sucks to clean daily. Pour over cones are much more labor intensive when brewing but have even less cleanup than regular drip machines. Especially when you brew straight into your mug. And I find the taste of pourover much better than drip. Do not fall for alternative espresso machines, they all suck. The aeropress is trash and makes anything you put in it taste like instant coffee.
