Anyone have any favourite recipes?

I am just about to finish a pack of Lavazza oro beans (I think it's their only full arabica product, I find it to be pretty decent). I use 1.5 scoops of grind + water to "full" (I actually havent' measured it). I boil the water, dump it in a measuring cup, and then into the inverted aeropress. I find that this drops the temperature to about 85C immediately. I let it brew for about a minute, then add a bit of extra water for a nice strong black coffee. Sometimes I'll add a splash of condensed milk (dai pai dong brand, the only stuff I can get that is not made from milk powder)

I also do the same brew but blend in 1 tbsp of butter and 1 tbsp of MCT oil to make "bulletproof" coffee. I hate that name, but don't know what else to call it... It tastes so good and is a nice satisfying morning drink that easily tides me over until lunch time.
