How do you like your 'everyday' coffee - not special occasions- your go to coffee

@bmccann42: @kcin:

Thanks for the tips duders! I'll definitely be checking those out. :)

Whoever suggested the Aldi German Roast, thanks. Got some yesterday and made a pot this morning. Good stuff

Just put a cup of coffee in front of me and I'll drink it. I've got a couple of french presses, a Chemex, different percolators and a keurig thingy. It's whatever my hand touches first in the morning.

"black as night, sweet as sin"

Cheap, drip Folgers, Maxwell House or whatever is else is on sale for a giant tub. I drink straight black with nothing in it and usually down a 6 cup pot before work. I don't drink it for the taste. As long as it's hot and has caffeine I'll be good. That being said, I do enjoy "good" coffee, I just don't need it.

Always bet on black.

How to make coffee...

I use a French Press for two parts environmental reasons and one part hipster reasons. And always black, unless I've got like a shot worth of milk left in the fridge; I'll dump that in so it doesn't go to waste.

I'm in the UK and I like to put actual cream (usually Double cream) in my coffee. I like the fat. I need the fat. I have a low-carb diet. Fat sustains me. It...feeds me.

If I'm hitting up Starbucks or somewhere like that, I usually get a massive Cappuccino.

I use a Keurig at home, but I have ground tired of it. They are convenient and fast, but they cost a lot for what little coffee you can make.

I have a very cheap french press, but the cleaning is a chore. But now I am thinking of a Kalita Wave Series 500. A pour over system where I can toss the filter and grounds into a mulch pile.

The poll seems to confuse the strength of coffee with the roast. The secret best coffee is cold brew.

We have a Tasimmo machine at work that uses single serving tabs. I usually allow myself one of those (Americano) in the morning since it has caffeine, but it only half fills my mug so I'll press the extra water button which I think just draws out the remaining ingredients from the tab.

After that it's decaff instant coffee for the day, low strength i.e. not much coffee granules in there. If I feel sleepy, sometimes after eating maybe, maybe a single caffeinated instant coffee. I very rarely have caffeine after 2pm, I'm not sure it can be good for my sleeping pattern if I'm not used to it.

There was a filter coffee machine at home, but it was too much hassle and I rarely have any coffee at the weekend now.

I have a little guy and generally either have a long black (Americano) or an iced latte depending on the weather

I don't drink coffee. I don't need it and I don't want to be someone who needs it.

Kurig Donut Shop Black

In the winter: black medium roast brewed in a press

In the summer: Cold brewed black coffee is incredibly refreshing, Especially if I throw in some orange rind while its sitting overnight

i am not a fan of coffee but i love how it smells

Moka pot, every morning and afternoon. I grew up on it and love the taste. I always use medium roasted coffee, as dark often comes out quite acidic. But that's just my taste.

French press. Simple and clean!

Hot, strong and black as the sin.

I'm not a coffee guy. But sometimes you want a kick in the head when pulling an all-nighter for reasons. If I'm out & about, I'd get an espresso, if I'm at home I'll just use the shitty instant coffee that's in the cupboard, and I'd add some regular semi-skimmed milk.

I find it weird that milk isn't on this list, it's waaay more common than cream here.

Regardless, I go black coffee with nothing in it. I prefer it a little stronger rather than too weak, but I tend to hover around average.

I almost always drink instant (again, surprised it wasn't on the list - but then I guess kettles aren't as common in the US so probably instant coffee isn't as big a thing as it is over here). I'll totally take a drip coffee or even a (well made) percolator if it's on offer, but making one for myself in the morning that isn't as practical. Medium strength or dark roast is fine.

I think you're just assuming everyone has the same taste. I like coffee with milk in sometimes too, but I also really like it black (especially in the mornings, or after a meal). I like bitter tastes more in general; I drink Gin & Tonic a lot (where the gin is actually there to sweeten the mixer, if anything). I'd have more trouble drinking much of something sweet... speaking more to certain vodka/rum cocktails and mixes than coffee with milk there; but, for example, I really don't truck with regular Coke outside of a tiny glass if I really need a pick-me-up and it's what's available, way too sticky and sweet for my tastes.

I have a pour-over style drop machine with always fresh roasted coffee. Grind myself. I use a little sigar and a little cream, sometimes I go black.

I used to drink about a pot and a half of coffee a day but over the course of December/January I managed to slowly ween down until I had completely quit. I quit because I was no longer really enjoying it and only drank it because of addiction. Now caffeine in general is a special occasion thing for me.

With that said I used to make it drip method and drank it black. I also usually got light roasts since the darker stuff often upset my stomach.

Usually cream and sugar.

I don't drink coffee at home. K-cups cost too much. I live alone, I am not making a whole pot so I can drink one cup.

K-cups at work, because thats what work gives me for free

I want to drink my coffee as fast as possible so I can wake the fuck up, so it's a microwaved cup of three small scoops of instant Folgers with hazelnut creamer for me. I'm a trash person.
