How are you making your coffee?

[Hobieperson]

Just my wife and I. We do side by side pour over coffee. I use a regular electric kettle without the long snorkel pour spout. Not ideal, but it’s worked for years. I jog. Get home and get the water boiling w the electric kettle while i shower. Get dressed and do the pour overs.

My family is flying in soon. I’m not loving the idea of doing 5-6 pour overs. I only have two filter holders anyway.

I punted and bought a coffee maker. I wanted a good one but the cost hurt. One came up on Facebook marketplace priced fair. A clean unit so I bought it. I ordered a descaling agent to run thru the machine first. I also ordered the proper filters.

I’m hoping the Moccomaster from the Netherlands (?) works as well as advertised.

You?

I do pour over and my wife does French press. She does a special decaf and grinds her own beans. I’m not fussy and like a medium or breakfast coffee. I do like stronger coffee and espresso when eating in a nicer restaurant.

I have an automatic drip coffeemaker, Mr. Coffee, I think. There is a coffee factory (New England Coffee) in my town and I buy my whole beans from them at their retail store. I mix flavored beans with decaf beans, 50:50, and grind what I need each morning.

I use my Keurig most of the time and keep Kcups on hand.
Normally a dark roast blend.
I also spend waaaay too much running to either Dunkin or Biggby for my iced coffees.

By the time I make my coffee, it is not technically coffee anymore. Lots of cream, sweeteners, coconut oil, etc.....

That's what I tell my friends who put cream and sugar in their coffee: "You might as well melt coffee ice cream".

Amateurs!

When I'm home, I drink it black.
When I get it from somewhere else, I ask for 1 cream, 1 sugar.
Go figure

Oh, coffee ice cream is way too strong.

That many pour overs would get old fast. Just don't skip the descaling step—I've seen that go wrong too many times.

 

[Hobieperson]

yup. I bought plenty of descale stuff. good and ready

I use our trusty Keurig every morning and get the Great Value pods half-caff. I usually get 2 of the 12 cup boxes for $9 at Walmart or spend $16 for 24 cups of Green Mountain…I’m fine with the GV, just straight up black

Hubby has a 14 cup Cuisinart. He drinks the whole pot throughout the day (it's not strong enough ). I make one 12 oz cup in my Keurig, Members Mark French Roast, with a little cinnamon and honey. I usually end up putting ice in it since I don't drink it fast enough!
