Moka pot and aeropress and French press are more forgiving - but you need good beans, roasted to their best and ground fairly consistently.
There is a guy who is, truly, a coffee nut. He puts us to shame, but uses science to explain his findings. I'll see if I can find his blog, but it's proper anorak reading. He helped me a lot - I wanted to learn how to pull a good shot of espresso and he said, "don't bother"!
Add an inch of milk to a mug steam for 20-30 seconds.
Place mug under machine press cafe.
Add sugar to taste.
Perfect freshly ground beans taste great in the morning.
Personal taste comes into it, but this is comparable to a fender twin versus a Marshall bluebreaker. Both are excellent amps in class, but have different people using them. You can't really say that a Marshall mg is as good as a bluebreaker, there are very real reasons it is not.
Try going to the local micro roastery and espresso bar next time they do a taster - you may be surprised at how even the type of water can make an enormous difference, even going as far as making a coffee taste good and bad, depending on the water used.
1. It should be free
2. Someone else should have made it.
Everything else is mere frippery.
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
1. Do not go into Starbucks
2. Try to walk past Costa
3. Find a good chain, Coffee #1 is the best around here, or preferably a good independent.
If you can drink their espresso without sugar and without screwing up your face, it's good coffee.
I tried doing proper espresso a few years ago. More often than not I would either choke the machine or make it too weak.
My feedback thread is here.
And he'd be right.
I love tea too, though. I have some cracking puer atm.
Or have a nice cup of your favoured hot beverage and a biscuit.

We also have flushing toilets and votes for women, you uncivilised bean-drinkers.
