I don't want a kitchen (or a house) full of goofy electronic gadgets
that will break constantly. My gas stove, steel kettle, plastic cone,
paper filters, and a can of Peets is long-term reliable, even if a
solar storm takes the power out.

Coffee should be black as the night, hot as hell, sweet as love,
and consumed instantly. No cold, 24-hour old brew for me, thank
you nicely. Italian style espresso is what I like best.

Me too. "Hot as hell" is silly. It would burn your mouth. Sweet as love is equally silly. Coffee is transient and love lasts (for a while at least, and for a lifetime if you get lucky).

All correct except for adding some cream, and savoring two cups for a
while. "Instantly" is over way too soon.

Yuck.

We don't get tired of coffee. We don't get tired of things that are
addictive.

Coffee isn't addictive. Caffeine is, and I was addicted to it back when I drank tea. Coffee is usually imbibed at less than the addictive dose rate. We don't get tired of things that are never quite the same and coffee beans are never entirely identical.
