What's your coffee making style? (self.coffee)

Are you a fan of espresso, cold brew, aeropress? Do you try new beans and roasters regularly, or stay with what you know and love?

I generally prefer filter coffee (with a re-usable filter, no oil sucking paper!) or plunger, but currently have only the plunger because of lack of space. A good syphon can also be supurb. I've also started roasting my own beans - I'm definitely a long way from expert, but am getting pretty solid results and am am slowly improving.

I have an aeropress that I haven't used since I bought a $99 Delonghi espresso machine from Aldi a few years ago. It's a good little machine and makes a perfectly adequate coffee. I've recently upgraded to a Gaggia Classic Pro and the quality of the coffee I make has gone significantly downhill thanks to this machine being more demanding. I'm slowly improving, though.

As for the beans, I like to try local roasters I haven't tried before, but have a couple I fall back on either because I enjoy them or just for convenience (read: I didn't realise how low I was getting and ran out, so went with the best option to get beans ASAP.)
