Used a single cup melitta for years, still use it camping or if espresso machine is out of order. With the right paper filters I think the melitta makes a terrific cup.
Many fancy friends advocate for the French press but I think they're tasting with their eyes or just love the process - the sediment it lets into the coffee tastes bad to me, is ok if you drink right away but just bad if it takes 20 minutes to finish a cup. Some actually say to pour the result through a paper filter to remove the sediment... Polly right but I've never tried it. Hard to clean and fragile.
Friend had a jura, I think it makes terrible coffee, not espresso.
I've been using an expobar brewtus for more than 12 years, huge grinder, the machine needs minor maintenance every year or so (o-rings, etch) and forces me to spend for good beans but result makes me happy.
I've had shots from the latest $1300 Breville, wow its good but looks default to maintain.
