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

Roast once a week, in a modified popcorn roaster.

If the roast came out right, espresso machine, adjusting grind for 22g coffee yielding 20-25g liquid in 25 seconds.

If the roast is light, pour-over with a metal filter, otherwise, turkish style on the stove (though grinding it that fine messes up the grinder).

It's fine if you don't stir or let it get to boil. You also wanna grind the coffee fine enough/dose so there's almost no sediment left over.

Oh shit do you put the water over the grounds? I been buying premade turkish coffee since its the cheapest kind around me but I pour it into the boiling water. I like the grit tho, keeps me present.

Yes, you start with cold water, then heat it up to just below boiling.
