[looks at my electric kettle on my desk at work, same brand/model kettle at home]

Been using an electric kettle since moving out on my own at 17 and renting a garage room near college (no kitchen stuff). Lived off of raman and frozen burritos (once I got a mini fridge and a small microwave). This was in '80s Florida and current New Mexico.

With almost 50 years of grinding coffee beans every morning (starting with a blade grinder in the late '70s), I've gone through a fair number of grinders. Finally found one that has lasted almost 10 years: Capresso grinder. It is electric but the grind time dial is a just a spring loaded rheostat. There's no sensors or buttons to stop working. Reminds me of the old washing machines in the '70s; just a spring loaded dial controlling things.

Filter paper types can also impact coffee flavor.

One of the reasons I prefer Chemex pour-over is the thick filters remove a lot of the acid/sour taste from coffee.

But then fresh ground beans in a Chemex was the first type of coffee I ever had. By the time I was 10 years old Mom had me making the coffee in the mourning so she could get ready for work.

Still, might give the instant they say is best tasting a try.
