How do you make your coffee?

[jrogers]

I order green coffee beans from Sweet Maria's and roast them myself with a heat gun, and bowl, and a wooden spoon.

Then I grind it as needed with a Baratza Virtuoso

and brew with a Clever Coffee Dripper when I just want one cup:

A press pot when I want two cups and/or a fuller extraction:

Or a Technivorm if I have company or expect to need more than a couple of cups:

It's worth the effort and only costs 5-10$/lb.

Standard drip style coffee pot, with Maxwell House Dark Roast usually. I'm the only one in the house that drinks it, so I usually make half a pot every morning and drink 2 cups before I leave the house and then pour the rest in my travel thermos to take with me to work. Drink it black most of the time, sometimes I'll add a little sugar, and on special occasions I'll buy/use creamer.

The Keurig as mentioned above is nice but I honestly still love the instant coffee. Got hooked off the mre's and still need that "fix" every once in a while

Plain ol' drip pot for me, Folgers regular roast, black...i used to use the flavored creamers, but I woke up one morning hungover and creamer sounded like a bad idea so i went straight black and have been every since.

I enjoy experimenting with other blends and "flavors" (kona, hazlenut, etc.) but i almost always drink it black. The only exception is when the Mrs. buys a bottle of white chocolate macadamia nut creamer then its more like a mug of creamer with a splash of coffee

I'd love to get a Keurig though...used one at a friends house in Florida, brewed some Caribou (Caribou Blend Coffee by Caribou Coffee® - Keurig.com) and have been craving it ever since.

I will drink Folgers or Maxwell in a pinch, but I do like to buy the bags of ground Starbucks, Dunkin, Seattle's Best, etc.
I tried drinking instant a couple of dozen times. I can drink it if that is all available but I will go out of my way to have real coffee instead.

Mr. Coffee drip pot with Folgers at my house, sometimes Starbucks if the fiance buys it. She also got me addicted to the Heath bar creamer.

 

[Tuesday Shooter]

I drink it how ever Mrs. Tuesday Shooter makes it for me. French press, 8 O'Clock medium roast, Sugar and Heavy cream usually.

 

[Beorn]

Electric drip
Folgers Columbian
Coffee-Mate or Half & Half
Splenda

Blonde & Sweet

I like Dunkin' Donuts and McDonalds coffee also.

 

[eldirector]

Keurig for me. I'm not much of a "real" coffee drinker, and my wife not at all. So, we use it for some coffee blends, and then teas and such.

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

I've a cheap espresso maker at home.

I use the store-brand dark roast (Usually Meijer), grind it to "turkish" in the store (as the regular espresso grind isn't fine enough)

Then it's 3-4 oz in a big travel mug, most of the rest with 1% milk, then add sugar free vanilla or sugar free caramel flavoring syrup.

WHAM - poor man's latte.

WoW! That's a lot of work for a cuppa, and too many choices for me.

But, to each their own!

Electric drip, bottled water. To be drunk black as God intended. If you foo foo up your coffee I will slap it from your sissy hand!

 

[Bigtanker]

I say: decaf, non-fat, extra skinny latte with extra drizzle


Now, where the hell is the purple these days??

With an order like that, I think the purple is on the lacy panties you're wearing!

 

[snapping turtle]

BLACK & BITTER. Its how I like all my women.

Hot sweet and creamy just like how I like my ladies.

Mr. Coffee drip with Maxwell 100% Columbian, drank black with a little INGO on the side

Never heard of these methods of roasting/brewing, by you're right, roasting and grinding takes more time but it's better than the mass produced garbage most of these people drink.

Yep. This ^^^

I am to lazy to make it in the morning so I got a coffee maker that has a timer that is set to start making my coffee at the same time my alarm clock goes off in the morning. The hard part is remembering to set it up the night before.

I do the same thing! I hit snooze once and by the time my alarm goes off again it is done brewing.

I've got the same thing too. It's called a wife that gets up before I do.
