Typically, a half liter of pour over in the morning, favoring medium to dark roasts. Lots of different roasters in SF Bay area, so I bounce around. Current favorite comes from an Oakland roaster whose grandfather grows coffee in Oaxaca. I've done pour over and French press in the wild but mostly do instant now. Medaglia d'Oro is inexpensive and does the job, for a pricier instant I like Mount Hagen. Depending on mood in the morning, I may use a Turkish maker, French press, steel Bialetti, or Flair hand pulled espresso maker.
