For you coffee nuts, How do you make it?

smoochy — Mon, 22 Dec 2025 23:56:05 GMT

keurig, drip coffee maker, french press, espresso machine?

Enquiring java junkies want to know...

Me, auto-drip Mr Coffee 5 cup. Ground coffee-but once in a while I grind whole beans. Unflavored half & half, no sweetener.

Fave coffee drink from a shop is a hot latte, plain.

After decades of all the types you mentioned (Keurig, french press, etc...). My brother said "you've become our Mother" since I recently switched to freeze-dried Taster's Choice French Roast using an electric kettle. Less mess, minimal space usage and I'm adjusting slowly but surely to the change.

Cheers and Bottoms Up All!

@smoochy 12 cup drip coffee maker. I usually make 6-8 cups (probably 3-4 mugs) usually flavored coffee and flavored creamer. One of my faves is blueberry coffee with vanilla creamer. Or sometimes (mostly fall or winter). Regular plain coffee with a shot of Baileys and whipped cream!

I'm not a Starbucks drinker. An occasional Dunkin coffee.

Oh I'll play while I'm waiting for Monday Night Football.

I use a Keurig, Starbucks Dark Roast pods, Starbucks flavored cream - any variety - no sugar. One cup a day. Love it 💜

I'm not a hot coffee drinker. I buy ready to drink Starbucks in a medium blend. I add Stevia and sf Coffeemate Italian Cream creamer.
Why is it that the first drink is always the best?

@monicakm I drink this exact combo in the afternoon. I get the coffee at sams, two huge ones for 9.99.

In the morning I use my nespresso original espresso with sugar free italian creamer.

Regular auto drip maker. I use only medium roast whole beans ground coarsley (less bitterness) and add some salt (also takes away bitterness) add a little heavy whipping cream and some 1/2 & 1/2, (no sugar) to my cup, and I have a very tasty cup of coffee. I gave up on the ground coffee a while back because it was always bitter and didn't taste at all good to me.

I don't drink coffee, but after giving my husband a play-by-play of the pour-over method while watching Alton Brown while we were having lunch at Shaggy's one day, he decided he had to try it and became a pour-over coffee snob. So, now he also grinds his own beans too. prior to that, it was the Keurig.

when visiting my daughter in Bangkok, she made lattes for me, using her espresso machine. Heaven! When we went out, the restaurants offered brewed coffee with steamed milk. I loved that.

There is an art to mastering the pour over method. I bet your husband is very good at it now

@smoochy We are - we got the brew set to strong. It also has a specific setting for iced coffee which I drink in summertime...it somehow gives the coffee a hint of chocolate and I don't know why but I love it!

Phillips coffee machine. Expensive machine, but well worth it. Eight different coffee options. Beans only. Coffee comes out piping hot and stays that way. If I'm having just a regular coffee I heat the milk in the microwave first. Not a big coffee drinker but have a cup in the morning.

ah the memories.. my first coffee experience was in 1972, first RN job on night shift. Black coffee made in a percolater. It was so strong and bitter but I acquired aa taste for it.

I only drink one cup in the morning so I like my Keurig single serve and have finally settled with Cameron's Toasted Southern Pecan pods or Aldi's French Vanilla pods. Those two are nice and smooth.

Keurig. Starbucks Plus (has added caffeine). I use heavy cream in it. Always. I used to put a pinch of dark cocoa in it....I've gotten out of the habit of doing that (takes too long; I'm usually in a hurry to get to my coffee!).

I have a Mr. Coffee 12-cup coffee maker. Uses paper filters and let it drip. I drink my coffee black, nothing else in it.
