Do you have a go to system for coffee in the morning, if so what is? What tools do you use? What do you want to change?

My morning ritual:

Go in to Kitchen. Switch on the DeLonghi Magnifica S machine. Wait for it to warm up and do its rinse cycle. Get a coffee cup out of the cupboard. Place it under the output. Press the button for a regular coffee sized distribution. Curse as I realise the bean hopper is empty. Fill that up with fresh beans from my sisters firm. Press button again. Wait about 30 seconds for the machine to do its magic. Enjoy a fresh cup of coffee.

So my sister has run a commercial tea / coffee wholesalers for about 25 years. When I was younger I used to work for her a bit doing pickups / deliveries / machine repairs etc. I was addicted to coffee so badly, I just love the smell of roasted beans. I had to scale back my intake of about 15 cups a day, to what I drink now, which is no more than 2, and none after midday.

There are so many techniques to making a good coffee, that it can seem overwhelming. The DeLonghi machine I've had for the last 12 years just makes it easy, it's almost cheating.

I have never heard amazing things about bean to cup machines, but man I could take a slightly worse cup for that convenience.
