Started using the Kamira a year ago. If you know what you are doing (there are many small things to do that could ruin the brew), you will drink the most delicious coffee ever. Not even a professional espresso machine could match it, no joke.

My one-and-done is a full mug from my decade old Ikea moka pot. This is made with hot milk, wazzed up with the cheap little milk frother they sell. The result is a huge quadruple "cappuccino". This wires me up all day.
If I'm not up for that, I'll just make a cup or two from my areopress. Inverse method, steel filter.
For me it's the ability to get coffee that's strong enough so that most of the cup can be hot milk. I've been chasing that for years.
Cafetiere was always disappointing, never bothered with any of the pourover methods because I couldn't see how they were any good for "milk drinks". I was never aware of aeropress really and when I did hear about it it just looked like another way of making filter strength coffee so steered clear of that.
Then I discovered the Moka pot which I used for years by cramming it with as much coffee as I could get into it which used to get pretty close to espresso strength but obviously not proper espresso.
Eventually we bought a Bambino Plus in lockdown and have been knocking out at least decent 2 lattes per day ever since (usually more if my wife is home)
Still not convinced I can get enough coffee in each shot though... I'm regretting the 53mm basket size!
I like my Chemex. Saving up to buy a used Gaggia classic
Hario Toggle or Aeropress Inverted
Danger funnel.
Cheap-ass Folgers pour-over forever.
I've done all the methods and roasts and beans and blends over the years, and there is nothing more stable, dependable, and satisfying than a single cup of pour-over Folgers. With cream. Boil water, #2 filter, enjoy.
AeroPress for its versatility. I also rarely use moka pot for home lattes, it's good but not as much controllable.
