How many have I added?

Aeropress is a significant leap above basic coffee for the caffeine.
It’s also fast and easy which is what I’m looking for at 6am

I was in military for over 23 years and coffee is coffee to me. Yes, some are tastier than others but at end of day I am just looking for the caffeine. Taste is an after thought when you get woken up at 2am for operations. I also drink it black.
Its what I drank for 20 years until I got some amazing coffee for my birthday one year. I just couldnt go back. If you’ve retired from military life and have the time to enjoy instead of rushing for ops it might be time to treat yourself.
Also, weigh it. Volumes change with different beans and grinds. Weights dont. Kitchen scales are cheap and easy.

Put the vessel on the balance and tare every time you finish including an ingredient. Always start on zero, don’t bother with the math.
This is good advice, but every so often I’ll screw up and put some grounds in before I think to tare the scale, so what I’ve done is put a little label on my French press that says how many grams it weighs when empty. That way, if I find myself in that situation, I can do the math of how much the press and grounds should all weigh together.

No offense to anyone who drinks Folgers, but Folgers isn’t very good coffee.
I’m no coffee snob, but it’s definitely something worth spending a little extra money to get better quality stuff. You don’t have to go nuts and get whole bean Jamaican blue mountain whatever, but don’t buy the plastic jug of pre-ground Folgers swill either. Treat yo self.
