I got myself a Melitta Aromaboy, which is the world's cutest coffee maker.
(Standard mug for scale)
We have a big beans-to-coffee machine at the office, but I simply don't like the coffee it brews. I want plain old filter coffee without the crèma or roasty espresso taste. I tried a french press, but that gives it an earthy coldbrew-like taste that I also don't like. It also tends to be too cold once it finished brewing. After that, I used the stovetop espresso maker you can actually see in the background. It worked well and tasted great, but it took a bit too long and it tended to give a loud bang as the metal warped due to the heat. I decided I need a regular old filter coffee machine. But an entire filter machine just for one person? Yep, turns out, that totally exists! I got a used one on Ebay and I absolutely love the retro look, but they actually still produce them! It comes in black, white or beige as seen here.
