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.

Instant.

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.

keurig users, are you happy with your machine and the taste of the coffee

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
