Last night, while reading somewhere in this site, an ongoing thread about repairing a coffee machine (so much electronics in there...) I realized that some months ago I reached the most satisfactory end of a long process of testing and discarding alternatives.
From drippers to percolators of any kind (cloth, fine wire mesh or paper), I finally decided to go the simplest way: coffee finely grounded, dropped directly into the cup followed by boiling water, and, in my case, adding less than a coffee spoon of sugar. That's all to it. Stirring? not much needed; coffee settles quite easily.
Machines with blisters? I've have not tried them.
If I want a real espresso there is the coffee shop (yes, only one) some eight blocks away. I use to go twice a day, weather permitting.
Eventually, when waiting for my grandsons at the city, a Starbucks serves one with an additional small tasty cheese bread of sorts.
