Didn't BRCC jump on the "Rittenhouse is guilty" bandwagon long before a trail even started and state they didn't want Rittenhouse supporters as customers?
As for coffee itself, my favorite cup 'o coffee is probably still a good pour-over. I still do pour-over when I do my cool-guy-Broverland camping because it's just simple and doesn't require big machines, electricity, etc. There all sorts of nice collapsible pour over options these days like this: https://www.amazon.com/Collapsible-Paperless-Dishwasher-Carabineer-Backpacking/dp/B095K2DV9L/ref=sr_1_5?crid=15MI7Z78LJL1D&keywords=collapsible+pour+over+coffee+maker&qid=1636812738&sprefix=colapsable+pour+%2Caps%2C259&sr=8-5 though if I'm honest I don't even have one and I just use a cheapo plastic one I've had fo-ev-ah.
At the house (or in the RVs) we've had several different pod-type machines. I think what it really comes down to with those is unsurprisingly a) the quality of the actual coffee pod you get for them b) cleaning. I've talked to a lot of people that say they've literally never cleaned theirs. Not only is that gross, but it'll add a very bitter flavor to the coffee. Right now we run a Nespresso and so far, it's my favorite. The coffee comes out rich and almost creamy, and their super simple little frother things ( https://www.amazon.com/Nestle-Nespresso-3694-US-BK-Aeroccino3-Frother/dp/B06XHWQJKN/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=nespresso+frother&qid=1636813003&sr=8-3 ) work really really well actually (you can find much cheaper versions from non-Nespresso brands: https://www.amazon.com/Automatic-Multifunction-Chocolate-Cappuccino-Gretess/dp/B0915929SV/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?keywords=nespresso%2Bfrother&qid=1636813003&sr=8-2-spons&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExVlkwWUpGUldJRlJKJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjcxODMxMlIzNExPNlExV1lWVCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUExMDE2Mjk4M0xJVUsyVldSUENXUCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU&th=1 ).
Alllllllllllllllll of that said, I have friends that have crazier built-in mondo-$ machines in their houses and I will say, they make very, very, VERY good coffee and legit lattes or things like that. Doing the remodel on the Vegas house we really thought about doing one, but at the end of the day a) it was an expense we didn't want to add to an already costly remodel b) I figured anything like that built-in is just going to be a long-term PITA when it comes to repair/replacement/upgrading/etc.
