Tbh, my best coffee week ever was when my old machine broke in a snowstorm.

My basic drip maker gave out during that big freeze in Spokane last February, so I had to dig out a French press I hadn't used since college. Honestly, I forgot how much more flavor you get from just letting the grounds steep for 4 minutes, and it made the whole quiet, snowed-in morning feel special. Has anyone else had a broken appliance accidentally bring back a better way of making coffee?

Totally! My fancy espresso machine died last year and I went back to a simple pour over. It's slower, but the coffee tastes way better now.

Yeah, I switched to a French press and it's a total game changer.
