Was making coffee and considering throwing out my K-cup coffee maker because I almost exclusively use a French press now, and got curious what other people did

ditch the K-cup! literally anything else is better lol
I have a modded gaggia espresso machine ( https://gaggiuino.github.io/#/ ) from craigslist originally which has been a fun project and makes decent espresso even with my meager skills and grinder (baratza encore)
I've also historically done pourover (hario stuff. if I had to do it again I'd get a hario switch I think), and aeropress (for a single cup its great, I do it with an inverted method, not too picky on the recipe or exact process, but I don't like the right-side-up way where the water can drip out while it's still infusing)
