My old drip machine from 2010 finally gave out last month
I used to just scoop whatever pre-ground stuff was on sale into a paper filter and hit start. Now I weigh 18 grams of single-origin beans from a roaster in Seattle, grind them fresh, and use a pour-over kettle. The change happened about two years ago when a friend made me a cup that actually tasted like the fruit notes on the bag. Anyone else switch from auto-drip to manual brewing and find it hard to go back?

From 2010" means your machine lasted way longer than most.

Right? That's a crazy long run for a computer these days. Makes you wonder why they don't build them to last like that anymore.

My old drip pot made coffee that just tasted burnt. Switched to a French press a few years back. It's a totally different drink now. @hugo153 has a point about things not being built to last, but sometimes an upgrade is worth it. Could never go back to that old bitter auto-drip taste. The whole process just feels more intentional now.
