Ive got an fully automatic delonghi coffee machine and it makes good coffee

but I know nothing about coffee itself other than its beans and water

is manually making a coffee such as grinding the beans yourself and using all the other non-auto parts actually that much better? How would I learn to do that? I dont know what I dont know
As a barista, I'm just a cog in the machine, they don't pay us to know about that stuff. Espresso drinks are made by pushing a button. Brewed coffee is just made by following directions.
As a coffee drinker, grinding and brewing coffee can be easy, there's just some upfront investment.
I have an older version of this: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Ninja-Specialty-Coffee-Maker-with-Fold-Away-Frother-and-Glass-Carafe-CM401/400862556
Very easy to use and clean.
Grinding coffee is simple. Choose the setting, put beans in, grind, take ground coffee out. Depending on how you brew coffee, you might need an adjustable grinder.
Fresh ground coffee is much better than days-old ground coffee.

I'll go ahead and say, it's definitely not something I'd normally recommend to the general public. But if you like matcha, give it a try. The strawberry acai is very sweet but the matcha gives it some "depth." You can even get it blended and it comes out kinda like a slushy.

How are all the white girls getting those pumpkin spice latte's so thin?
Metabolism and exercise. Though, they probably won't be for long if they keep drinking at Starbucks.
A grande PSL is 390 calories. You can take off ~60 by removing whipped cream and another ~100 by switching to oat or almond milk. A grande gets 4 pumps of pumpkin and each pump is ~30 calories, so you can cut a pump or two and lose some there. Or you could just work off those 400 calories.
Younger kids these days are getting the ice pumpkin chai (which is delicious), frappucinos, and any refresher with vanilla sweet cream cold foam.

Big fan of the roasteries
Never been, but I'd like to go. There's only 3 in the US, I think.
