What's your coffee today? What brew method? Photos

I've been looking into purchasing an espresso machine, and the Rocket brand is certainly in my sights.
Anyway, tonight I'm enjoying a local roaster (whom I love, their coffee shop is my favorite) Blue Copper. It's their Colombia South Huila Castilla. This was extracted via the Hario V60.
Tomorrow morning I'll be brewing Trader Joe's Bay Blend in a 12-cup Bialetti stove-top moka pot.
These moka pots are to coffee what safety razors are to shaving. They are based on very old technology (invented 1933), typically three-piece metal designs (water reservoir, filter, and coffee reservoir), and are made to last forever. All you need to make coffee is water, ground beans, and a heating element. It takes about the same time to brew as a good drip machine, but tastes MUCH better.
If you're like me and need tons of coffee in the morning, the 12-cup Bialetti can replace your drip machine. Otherwise, I find that the 6-cup version makes coffee that is closer to espresso (the 12-cup makes a great Americano!).
Brotherhood of the Moka Pot anyone? BOMP!?!?

If you're looking at Rocket, you should do yourself a favor and look at the Astra Pro. It's more machine for less money; $1100 gets you the equivalent of a $2k machine.
Road trip morning tradition:
Venti 6 shot Americano from Starbucks.
This drink and starting off a road trip is the ONLY time I stop at Starbucks.

I'm having a Kiva Kooler. Well, that's what they call it at the Kiva Koffeehouse. It's a glass of milk with frozen coffee cubes.
