I love espresso but since I drink my coffee straight am finding it hard to buy a $1500 machine with all sorts of bells and whistles for dual temperatures, etc. when I just want a damn good cup of coffee!

I really like the moka pot but for convenience I'd still go with the aeropress.

I've been tweaking it a bit, and in the morning I like it with a bit of single cream and topped off with a dash of extra water. In the afternoon I'll just take it straight. Right now I'm using UCC sumiyaki (charcoal roasted) beans. All I've ever tried is grocery store brands, with the exception of some Kona my sister sent after a Hawaii vacation. I may try some fancy roasters some time, but only if the price is right.
