I was going to suggest an Aeropress since you are a landlubber now. But on the rare occasions I make hot coffee at home, I just use a manual Melitta pour-over and a kettle.
That didn't fix the sleepiness, or general lack of coordination.
had this rig for a quite some time literally made thousands of cups of coffee some noticeable wear and tear so what's next? weird kitchen layout so i need something compact any suggestions would be helpful
I have on old version of one of those but it has a more analog aesthetic. Haven't used it in about 8 years but it still has a prominent place on the coffee cart. Now I use a great looking black stainless steel French press,hand powered ceramic burr grinder and a airtight coffee bean bin. It's a great system except for a bit of work when grinding the beaners - but it's about the only exercise I get these days.

I loved the coffee from my Aeropress. But I also found the early morning complexity and the perilous balance of a top heavy open mix of grounds and water to not be a good fit with my morning grogginess and boat life. #needcoffeetomakecoffee

first time having coffee made from a bialetti over the weekend at a friends house & it was delicious, best coffee i've had in a while. i might ask for one for xmas.at home i mainly use the aeropress because i'm the only coffee drinker in the house. i also occasionally use the esspresso maker or french press, but using a paper filter removes some artery clogging oils
We've had this one for a few years. The OXO 9 cup maker (apparently 8 was just too small, and 10 too large?). .
I like a carafe, so I can drink it slowly over the course of the morning. It was a gift when there was one coffee drinker in the house (me), and is now working OT with 3 at home. We end up making 2 pots in the morning now. After almost 3 years (~1,000 pots), it's showing signs that the end is coming. There is a small drip coming from the section that holds the basket/grounds. It's not a big deal, but I'm guessing one of the rubber pieces is beginning to fail. All in all, it's been good. Coffee starts and stays hot for a few hours.

Right. Our roaster said they figure 4 days minimum to get the best flavor, then another 10 to use them as "fresh" if opened, but in theory the roasted whole beans are shelf stable if they're in a sealed bag with a valve. There's only a tiny bit of oxygen in that bag to begin with (if your roaster is big enough to have a nitrogen-rich packaging line), and most of that is pushed out when the bag puffs up with coffee gases.
But I've never done any A/B testing so who knows. ======
The discussion about Florida coffee was a nod to climate change... Brazil's failing crop, etc.
I thought you get extra points for hijacking a discussion

Aye - missed the context farther down the thread...
...... CNET argues that beans are stale when you buy them, anyway. Freeze if you donât drink much. I see a lot of folks liking the vacuum mason jar approach. https://www.cnet.com/home/smar...
Thanks for the links Steely_D.
CNET appears to be down. All I get are 404 errors. I changed the VPN location, played with the tracker blocking options, etc. As G0d has been punishing sinful British Columbians in the last couple of days, I wonder if BC got disconnected from the I-Net. Probably not the case, but something that comes to mind when 'they' shower their wrath on us sinners.
