I’ve tried just about every way to make coffee, French press, AeroPress, automatic drip, you name it. But at the end of the day, I keep coming back to pour-over, especially using a Hario V60.
If you’re here because your Keurig keeps shutting off, let’s be honest, you were already on borrowed time. Instead of spending another 30 minutes googling how to clean the needle or run vinegar through the machine, I’ve got a better idea: Throw it out.
If you care about good coffee, you know the grinder matters. A lot.
I love my Technivorm Moccamaster. It’s the machine my wife and I come back to when we just want an easy, consistent cup of coffee in the morning, without fuss. But if you’re anything like me, you’ve probably Googled “how much coffee do I actually use in this thing?” more than once.
But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth it.
Walk into any small business in Hawai‘i today and you’ll hear it in a dozen different ways: there just isn’t enough time. Time to write the email you’ve been meaning to send. Time to stay consistent on social media. Time to follow up with that customer who asked a good question but never heard back.
As I have stepped into 2025—my 40th year—I’ve been thinking a lot about one word: Consistency.
