How do you make your coffee?

[cmayer31]

I only drink coffee at work and our admin makes it

I voted filter machine though because that's what we have in the office...actually we have a few of them for a handful of people.

I love coffee (and tea) gadgets! I have a grind-and-brew drip machine, where you put in whole-bean coffee and the coffeemaker grinds the beans and then brews the coffee. I also use a press, especially for New Orleans-style coffee with chicory. And I use this contraption--the Toddy Coffee Maker--to make a coffee concentrate that I mix with milk and ice for truly yummy iced coffee in the summer.

I don't drink coffee, which my dad thinks is a sin! Ha Ha! But I do get up and make coffee for my husband on the weekends and we have a filtered coffee maker. We grind the beans and brew it. I LOVE the smell, just hate the taste.

Mostly we just have instant, but sometimes we visit a proper old-fashioned coffee shop, which is highly expensive but well worth every penny, to choose and ground our own coffee beans. That stuff goes in the percolator.

Perhaps my fave way is turkish, in the little funny carafe on an open flame, bring it to a boil, let it sit back down, boil again, and pour into a tiny cup and sip...a teeny bit of real creme is perfection.

I agree, when I was in Turkey I couldn't get enough of the stuff. Then, the following year, I went to Greece, and discovered their version is even better, and drank tons more of that! Now I suppose I'm eagerly awaiting the prospect of Cypriat coffee this summer to see if it can top that.

I don't think I could live without my everyday coffee!

I use instant. It tastes ok and it it easy and quick to prepare, which is awesome in the morning cause I usually wake up pretty late. But of course, the cafeteria one always tastes soooo much better.

We have a drip machine which we load in the evening and it comes on by a timer in the morning. There is nothing like waking up to the smell of coffee! On the weekends, when there is more time, I sometimes grind the beans for a fresher cup. I drink 12 oz. every morning but that is it for the day. I just need it to get my motor running.

We drink coffee each morning and have used a drip coffee maker for years. Our newest pot is a Bunn that our kids found at a garage sale and it is terrific!! Before that it was always a percolator. I only like coffee within the first 30 minutes it is made - after that is tastes stale to me. Starbucks does not taste good to me but I know lots of folks love it. Is that coffee brew, drip - anyone know? When we had a Dunkin Donuts in town, I used to enjoy their coffee. We used to have a press - that we bought in France. I have never been able to make consistant coffee with it though.

Timmy's all the way! I'll have a cafe mocha or a double/double for me.
Or I'll use the drip machione at home with hazelnut cream

I use a 10c filter machine (can't you tell? ) when I have leisure time in the morning. Otherwise I use the French Press. To avoid coffee bitterness, my dad (learned in the army) used to use a pinch of salt in with the grinds. I also clean the pot with vinegar once a week to remove stains and it makes a huge taste difference, My favorite though, is Dunkin Donuts. I find Starbucks too strong and have to tell the staff to fill the cup 3/4 so I can add extra cream. Love my java!

I use a drip coffee pot - I grind the coffee beans right before I make a pot of coffee. I like my cup of coffee with two sugars and some milk or coffemate.
