I find a home made Americano is even more convenient for a single cup!
Not to start a coffee argument, I like drip pour over whatever, but I just prefer an Americano from fresh ground beans and think you can get away with not the most expensive beans that way. Lidl/Aldi are okay but I usually go a step above that. I do buy third wave style coffee the odd time. Mostly it’s not actually worth the multiples you pay for it.
