I've been pretty poor lately (I was unemployed for a few months and my previous roommate moved basically in the middle of the night without warning, leaving me on the hook for the full rent) so I've been brewing crappy President's Choice overroasted "morning blend". It's bad coffee, but it's also 15$ for 1.8kg.

I've been coming back to immersion brews lately after a long stint of only using my V60 for pour-overs. My love for coffee was born out of a French press, and was pushed further by the Aeropress, both of which I've started to mess about with again. I generally find immersion methods more forgiving with low-quality beans than a pour-over.

I'm excited to start having a bit of income again, I can't wait to try the new offerings at my local roaster. I'm lucky that I found work as a barista, so I do drink quality coffee most days. I just have to suffer grocery-store beans on my days off (that is until my next paycheck!)
