How do you make your CoFFee

How does everyone prepare their coffee, and why. Anyone use any unorthodox methods by American standards? Or do you buy it each day, what do you buy and how much does it cost you?

All my coffee has just a little bit of almond milk in it

I just brew it strong and put lots of cream and sugar in. Highlander grogg is pretty good coffee one of my favorites.

How does everyone brew it though? French press? Classic drip machine?

French press. Pour it from 3 ish feet above the cup so it gets super frothy. Also shake up the cream so it's super foamy and heat retentive. But really this makes me feel gay so I just stick to tea most of the time.

It's funny, I kind of scoff at the kuerig....those cups get so pricy like 8-15 bucks for half a pound of coffee, it's madness! At the same time I was house sitting for a buddy who had one and it was pretty damn easy to get a strong ass cup of coffee, and cleanup couldn't of been simpler

We have a kurig too but I hat that it produces so much extra waste vs normal brewer. Don't get me wrong I use it a lot. I just am starting to feel bad about it. Same with plastic water botles. I've prolly thrown away thousands... Haven't thrown any away for a few months and they are stacking up even after being crushed.

Since my french press broke I am going to buy a moka pot. Pretty much stove top expresso, I had one a while ago but not the official one and the one I had was too big. Figured a small cappuccino each morning might be enjoyable the way they brew too is kind of cool

For $10-30 bucks you kind find a moka pot style brewer. Brews shots of expresso like coffee....mix it 50/50 with milk and BAM....

It's not so much a taste thing for me as a way to save space (no need for a big espresso machine - or even a small one) and enjoy the ritual of brewing a nice cuppa.
Cost? I don't know. Never really calculated it.

I don't drink coffee, Shit tastes like burnt water.

Iced coffee is also pretty legit.

lately been buying a monster java kona blend everyday.
but before that I always went to the Walmart and got some real kona coffee medium dark coarse and brewed it in my cheap as coffee maker. 4 tbs per 6 cups and mixed it 60/40 with whole milk,ice and sugar to taste for that day.
need to go back to that sure was cheaper than 2.89 a day for that darn monster.

Dark roasts never come out of a keurig the same way. I gave mine to a friend before we moved. The valves and shit calcify too easily and I don't like running vinegar through coffee pots.

Keurigs are fast and easy but what they lack in is quality and strength in my opinion. I like being able to control the amount of coffee I use. I have stronger, better tasting coffee when I make my own. I used to be a huge tea drinker but coffee and kratom go so well together.

I like cold and very sugar laden coffee with my kratom. After I get it down I'll drink hot coffee to make the capsules dissolve faster. It's like they belong together.

A good "rule of thumb" i like to use for strength testing my coffee is that if it doesnt make you shit within 45 minutes of finishing your cup, its not strong enough.

I used to buy medium roast from netto's...>

£0.99p for a 200g jar of instant.
Could fit four of those in my pressure cooker.
Sadly, Netto's sold all their stores to 'asda' (walmart) who upped the price by 50%. Iv'e boycotted the ever living shit out of it ever since. No fukin way I'm handing money over to some 'merrycunt company that changed the size of the jars so only three would fit! Fukturds!
One jar would last well over a month. One teaspoonful of coffee granuals into half an inch of cold water topped up with boiled with a teaspoon of sugar. Enjoy.
Dripped, french, whatever the fuck...

I use a K-Cup machine and I put two spoonful of sugar. I don't know the brand of the coffee. I believe it to either be Folgers or something else. I got the ones on special. It cost me something like 3.99 or 4.99 for 12 K-Cup (absolute and total robbery).

I enjoy using a French press and getting the coffee as concentrated as possible, then I add some sweetened condensed milk. It's great on ice or hot!

You don't have a recycling service where you live?
I don't like my coffee brewed as coffee, I like it brewed as strong espresso. I drink it every morning and sometimes after work too. I mix 3 parts espresso to two parts chocolate milk and sometimes when I'm feeling like a fruity bastard I'll even put a dash of cinnamon in there. I use good quality beans and grind them myself. Now I want a latte. When purchasing premade coffee I prefer Dunkin Donuts to Starbucks.
