Best way to get a good coffee?

[Kyonshi]

I saw the group is pretty empty, so I am trying to get some discussion
going:
What is, for you, the best way to make good coffee? How do you like yours?

I see a lot of people who really like espresso for example, but it's
rarely that I manage to taste an espresso that actually is worth drinking.

Pourover, Melitta cone, paper filter. Rinse the paper filter first!

Using a kettle, you can get the water much hotter than most coffee
makers, resulting in a better cuppa.

I alternate between that and a Gaggia Brera bean-to-cup espresso
machine. If you find espresso to be too bitter, sometimes changing the
beans can make a difference.

my issue with home-made espresso has less to do with the bitterness, and
more with the one time one of my roommates had to go to ER because a
moka pot exploded into her face. ever since then I have been very
careful with this device.

(I also had an espresso machine but I just couldn't get good coffee out
of that)
