Made in a stove top coffee maker. But ground either Colombian or more recently urban baristas

We have a filter coffee maker and an espresso machine in the kitchen. Aeropress for taking on holiday. Get beans delivered each week. We quite like coffee in our house.

Kopi Luwak all day long.

instant coffee is the work of the devil and no good will come of it.

Agreed. I can no longer drink the stuff. I only drink one coffee a day nowadays and during lockdown that has been a latte or cappuccino from our Nespresso machine.

Coffee?

There is only one correct answer...

Starbucks, Costa etc:  Anxiety in a cup.

I have said this before on here, I try and 'do' coffee for the social aspect and paying 3quid for a bag of green tea in hot water revolts me. I just can't get past how much it tastes similar to the taste of smoking a Rothmans afterwards. My missus is mad for coffee and like a lot of people will not baulk at paying best part of a fiver for a paper cup of something from Costa or Starbucks. I really want to like coffee, I like the effect it has and use it if I need to jolt myself awake but I derive no joy from it 

I've recently started having a bit of milk in Lady Grey tea and it is the perfect morning brew.

Nespresso virtuo 7.7 oz capsule with 1% milk frothed and cocoa and brown sugar on top.....

Strongish, black, 2 sugars. Hand grind the whole beans and then use a cafetière. Makes me feel more connected lol. A couple of coffees also usually guarantees a good 'clear out', so it's multi-purpose.

CharltonKerry

Strong black no sugar, if instant 2 spoonfuls of coffee.

cafcsinger

Nothing worse than coffee snobs, think instant coffee if anything is underrated 

Stu_of_Kunming

I have a mocha stove top, espresso machine and a chemex at home, french press at work.

If you can find some Yunnan beans, they are definitely worth a try.

eaststandmike

Double espresso for me, strong, black and no sugar. I sometimes get tempted by a Cortado which is a double espresso with a dash of milk.

Coffee officianados are basically real ale weirdos who can’t handle alcohol. Both look upon me as common scum.

Can of Fosters followed by a milky Gold Blend. Stick that in your frothy presser with ya beans gently rolled by a Bolivian virgin

With whiskey.

Miles from the truth, well apart from the looking upon you as common scum 

I cannot stand Real Ale & I can certainly handle my alcohol

I have a Nespresso machine where I just place a capsule in it and it does the rest, none of the grinding beans etc.

The coffee stat on my banking app breakdown is absolutely terrifying - I’ve seen that Leon do a £15 a month unlimited coffee per month scheme which I will sign up to tonight! (75 max and can order up to 3 at a time)

SomervilleAddick

Espresso. 

Nespresso in an emergency, but currently drinking Black Cat from Intelligentsia from this beast. 

CHG

Black, drop filter coffee. I try to drink the ground coffee within 24 hours of grinding the beans, read that back, what a cnut. 

It does make nice coffee though. 

LawrieAbrahams

Double espresso, no milk, no sugar.

Have you tried it? I have - my recollection is that it was interesting, but not something I'd have again, especially as it was very expensive.

I picked up two bags of coffee beans from the supermarket by mistake and then purchased a coffee grinder because I hate waste.  Belatedly I realised that I should have bought a burr grinder as they apparently grind the beans to a uniform particle size. 

So now I'm left with a grinder that simply smashes the beans to an inconsistent size.  I have attempted to overcome this disadvantage by experimenting with short bursts on the grinder followed by vigorous shaking.  This invariably leads to quite a big clean up operation.  After which I then need to decide how close I've got to the perfect coarse grind for my french press. Truth be known I haven't got a clue.  

I will never go back to instant coffee, but a return to Taylor's ground coffee is on the cards.

• Extra Coarse Grind (cold brew grind)
• Coarse Grind (french press grind)
• Medium-Coarse Grind.
• Medium Grind.
• Medium-Fine Grind (pour over grind)
• Fine Grind (espresso grind)
• Extra Fine (Turkish Coffee Grind)

If it's instant, I don't drink it.

Where have people been getting their coffee from during lockdown? I've tried Dark Arts, Union, Caravan and Monmouth.

I drink 2 or 3 home made cappuccino's a day. I'm not overly fussed about the beans (I rarely spend more than £6-7/Kilo). I'm also quite partial to frothed oat milk rather than dairy.

I thought there couldn't be anything worse than cappuccinos (it's cappuccini, like panini and graffiti) but yes, there is.

If you're serious about coffee there's only one way to take it.

When I went on the website, a little dialog box popped up asking me if I wanted any help. I told them to stick it up their arse. 

Well, that's different.

Bought some from Garage Coffee, it's a local one down my way, do some really nice stuff.

Sod the coffee and the beer, just bring me the hot Bolivian virgin (female).
