High end or low end even John loves his coffee 
I don’t know if I spend more on audio or coffee related paraphernalia.
If I had to choose headphones or coffee, I’d choose coffee.

oooh…I dunno if I could choose between the two. you can make coffee amazing beyond belief for under $200 (Chemex, Metal Filter & Electric Temp Controlled Goose Neck Kettle) and while audio will be good at $200, it won’t be as good as that cup of coffee.
edit - I guess the above does show I can choose…LoL!

I highly recommend Go Get Em Tiger’s subscription. They are an award-winning shop, fairly priced, and sent me a Gesha this month.
I have a countless number of pour over preparation methods, but fall back on V60.
I would recommend Kalita Wave or Aeropress for anyone that is new into it.
Coffee is my blood type. I grew up making Greek coffee for my father and I.
I’m from Cleveland and there is a micro roaster in town called Phoenix coffee. Their stuff is dynamite, but their house blend (Firebird) is the best. They ship all over as well.

I totally disliked the Aeropress…and the Espro Press. most disappointing coffee purchases I’ve made.
I have the Chemex and a metal filter, so just need the electric kettle now. I’m thinking of this one:
I recommend getting a Bonavita electric gooseneck kettle. They frequently go on sale and my two have lasted over 8 years so far.
Another sub that I recommend is Ruby Roasters from Wisconsin. It’s another superb value and they send out 2x 8oz so you get to taste two new things per month rather than 1x 12 or 1x 16oz.

I forgot to mention, my coffee maker is a Ninja CE251. This thing is a price to performance beast for an auto-drip coffee maker.

I will add that I rarely touch my Aeropress though. The two huge advantages is that you can throw it into any luggage for portability and its fairly dummy proof (for a newbie).
The Aeropress is such a pain in the butt. It’s not something I liked doing 2x daily especially when stumbling out of bed.
One of my favorite is making a super strong cup with a Mocha pot, but that too is tiresome daily, and I reserve for when the occasion calls for it.
Daily, I switch back and forth between a Chemex with paper filter and or a pour-over… sometimes both!

I have a chemex pour over that my brother in law has been “borrowing” for 5 years now. 
Oh, our conversation reminds me that I enjoyed the Clever Dripper when I used it. It’s a combo of a pour over and immersion. I used Chemex filters with it and thought it was a more well-rounded cup.

I use an authentic Greek hammered copper “vriki” kettle to make my Greek coffee (it’s Greek, not Turkish so don’t get me started, lol). There are some good ones on Amazon. Also, Loumidis Greek Coffee is my favorite (Green bag, not the red).

your post about Greek coffee made me think about how I want to get an Ibrik for Turkish coffee. Greek is the same idea, but Turkish is done on a smaller scale I believe.
They actually are the same if you get an authentic vriki or ibrik…1 = 1 demitasse.

This is similar to what I use now which is the 03 size Hario Switch!

I love how versatile and easy it is!
Also I think I belong in this thread as I bought a midrange IEM’s worth of coffee for my bday 
Are there any tea drinkers here?
I know this thread is for coffee, but I feel like the tea people are missing out!
I make heavy use of my keurig… Is that the equivalent of bluetooth headphones?
