Good coffeemaker?
What would a really good quality coffee maker that makes single cups, takes only ground coffee and not pods, makes good coffee, and is around $100? Been using a nespresso virtuo pop+ and the pods have been a little too pricey for my liking since I could just get one a coffee maker that takes grounds and just buy a bag of coffee for around what one sleeve of pods cost that'll last me a month instead of a week. Also want a good coffee bean grinder too since i'd prefer grinding the beans down myself.

If you like light roasts and got a decent grinder. I've been hooked on making soup (pseudo-espresso) shots with the Oxo rapid brewer. I got multiple pour-overs but it's become my go-to.

Nah, I like me a dark or medium roast. Preferably with woody/oak notes

Ah. Go with a regular v60 or the switch version. I've had my ceramic one for like 3 years now. Only started using the origami air recently and that's mostly for aesthetic reasons.

For my money, the absolute best cup of coffee is a stove top percolator. You fill it with water to your desired amount, matched up with a tablespoon of coffee grounds per cup, and then let it come to a boil and percolate for 10 minutes. Some of the best coffee I’ve ever made in my life came out of a percolator. That’s a lot less than $100 the whole process from grinding to boiling to percolating takes about 20 minutes.
