Purple Star emoji 12 items
This is a collection of coffee machines, coffee, and everyday coffee gear that I’ve personally used and enjoyed over the years. I tend to gravitate toward bold, darker roasts but also enjoy a few medium roasts depending on the day.

This was my first Ninja coffee maker, and I used it heavily for about two years before upgrading. We brewed both K-Cups and full pots—often around six times a day—so it saw a lot of use and held up well. It’s simple, user-friendly, reliable, and a gr...
