We usually brew coffee in an Ikea Italian brewer (they call it radig with capital letters), takes around 5-6 minutes, a bit more if you'd turn down the heat a bit. This way, the coffee is with a bit different (more robust) flavor. And, of course, we always filter the water with a Brita, as well.
I usually get a coconut or cocoa oil spoon in my coffee (a form of replacement for the MCT oil you get). Only if I'm especially adventurous, I'd have a spoon of cocoa in the coffee as well. Beware that this will make it _really_ strong for some reason (my alertness gets through the roof in the tens of minutes after).
And finally, the below clip is a nice sum of all the things I like and dislike about coffee from a person that seems well involved with this narcotic :)
P.S. Btw, I tried the cat dongles coffee in Bali last year (kopi luwak). While it was pretty nice, I'd say it is mainly about the good feelings pronounced by the story around it, including the key phrases "exotic cat", "only the best beans", "roasted by hand", etc., etc.
I have put MCT oil in my morning coffee for many years! And I believe I had watched that video a few weeks before I made this episode. Pollan described the return to coffee as a psychedelic which is probably accurate from what I remember about the first time I had quit coffee many years ago.
I wanted to get a Bialetti but was worried about a messy hockey puck. I might still get one for the option. When I stayed in AirBNBs in Italy they were more than a fixture, they were the centre of the home. One nona brewed cups all day long. I worried for her health but she seemed to be fine.

Stovetop Bialetti espresso unit. A century old design that makes a piping hot cup - truly a marvel. They come in colours if you so desire.

Always worrying about others, Elliott. Good man.
The Bialetti pucks aren't that messy and the grounds are good for the garden, if you so choose.
Consider brewing your coffee while standing on your head. This way you can drink as much coffee as you wish with no disturbance to the blood flow
Like a true yogi :)
