Re: For you coffee nuts, How do you make it?

I gave up on keurigs.  We have a Ninja Dual Brew.  I won't use kcups but I can make single cups with my own grounds if I wanted to,  I drink several mugs of coffee so making a single mug doesn't happen.  I grind my own flavored beans and make myself a pot every morning before DH gets up.  When it's done I pour it in a thermal pot and turn off the coffeemaker. Then I'll get it set up for DH

 

1st mug -coffee, MCT oil, 1 tsp. Irish butter, 1 Tblsp. heavy cream, liquid stevia 

 

2nd mug - coffee, heavy cream, 1 Tblsp. raw cacao powder, stevia

 

3rd mug and any others - coffee, heavy cream, stevia

I add a half of a teaspoon of Folger's Instant coffee crystals into a cup of my cold oatmilk.

 

I drink several of these cups each day.

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!

We think alike !😊

 

I've been using Taster's Choice French Roast for years, after my second espresso machine died.

 

I use a microwave for one minute and twenty seconds to heat the water.

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. 


keurig, electric perk, stovetop perk, espresso pot, french press. All with fresh ground beans. Half and half, no sugar. Coffee outside the house is always a disappointment. There's a new store near me that sells fresh made juices. That's where I go when I buy something outside. Todays was carrot, beet, apple and ginger. It was outstanding!

Low acid vanilla keurig coffee with vanilla coffee mate. 2-3 cups per day depending on my mood

Re: For you coffee nuts, How do you make it?

A good cup of coffee all depends on the water. We have an artesian well that gives the most wonderful taste to a cup of coffee. Heart In fact, back when my dad was still alive, he'd have us bring him a gallon of our water for his coffee.

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?

Starbucks Iced Coffee Unsweetened Medium Roast, 100% Arabica Beans, No Sugar, No Milk, 48 fl oz

Nestle Coffee Mate Non Dairy Zero Sugar Italian Sweet Creme Liquid Coffee Creamer Sugar Free, 32 fl oz Bottle


 

 

The Italian Sweet Cream Coffee Mate sounds good, will put on my grocery list.
