Find what you like. Borrowing from the Whiskey Tribe guys, the best coffee is coffee that you like, made the way you like.

I run most of the gambit. My daily driver is a locally roasted light, ground about 30 seconds before I start my pour over. I used to drink an entire pot every day, but when we got sent home for the holocoof, the wife and I were drinking even more, and decided that we would drink less, better coffee. So I went from Sam's Club columbian in drip to the locally roasted pour over. Already had a grinder, so the capital costs were minimal, and we spend about the same amount of coffee (for less overall.)

But there's a place for all of it. I have a Nespresso that I bought on prime day that we use for decaf espresso at night. I would love to have an actual full pressure espresso machine, but I don't love the $500 outlay for one. So we use this. I keep instant in my EDC and my survival bags. If I'm going car camping, I'll bring a camp perc and ground coffee. If I'm backpacking, I'll bring instant.

Figure out where your comfort level is, figure out the best way to meet that level, and stop worrying about it. I like my coffee. I don't turn my nose up at drip or instant.
