And then there's me, who just dumps some coffee grounds in a cup, adds boiled water, and stirs it to sink the solid matter to the bottom of the cup so it's drinkable without being chewy.

All these fancy toys for making coffee are just extra things to clean. I'm too lazy for that.

Eh, coffee itself is apparently really high in cholesterol, and simple paper filters do a nice job getting rid of it. I had no idea, learned recently. French pressers suffer a similar fate, so drip all day for me.

I did not know that about the cholesterol, appreciated info!

I barely drink coffee anymore these days since caffeine pills are just so much easier, but I'll keep it in mind for the rest of the bag of beans in my cupboard.

Also this probably explains how some vegans have such high cholesterol despite no animal products being consumed.

Yeah, I know I certainly wouldn't have expected it. I stopped doing the French press because I found it gave me serious heartburn, where drip somehow does not. Caffeine pills seems like a much simpler solution, although I've really dialed it back to my one (double) cup in the morning and that's it. And apparently two cups of coffee is a-ok.
