How do you make coffee at home?

[Seekingchange]

What do you use and how do you drink it? I have used a Nespresdo machine for the past 2 decades but feel it’s quite a wasteful way of deinking coffee and would like something more “genuine”.
Is a french press the way to go? How do other people make their coffee at home?

Instant coffee granules, near boiling water plus semi skimmed milk. Fast.

We are the lazy gits on this thread🤣

Cafetiere. Minimal faff, time, cost and kitchen space.

I’ve used a Moka pot for 40 years. I heat some full fat milk in a pan to go with it.

I love my Mokka on the stove for strong delicious espresso

My De'longhi espresso machine also makes a strong espresso

I use my filter machine for morning work coffee because it has a timer so coffee is all ready to go but of course it's never as good as a coffee made with the pressure of a stovetop mokka or espresso machine.

I find cafetières far too weak and the same for those dreadful pod machines. Neither make a decent cup any better than instant coffee tbh.

Ebay is your friend (hopefully!)

I like my coffee to taste of coffee with lots of milk and sugar just like you'd get at a decent coffee shop

I have a coffee grinder so grind my own coffee beans

Nothing fancy just a £20 Krupps and Tesco Italian coffee beans

But it makes the strong espresso coffee I need to add lots of milk to

I love coffee

I've tried loads of coffee beans but you know what Tescos are lovely much better than Lavazza which really aren't that strong or tasty

At work I drink instant coffee so I don't mind it

This. Although there are one or two independent coffee shops round here whose coffee beats it.

I've got a Sage Barista Express and when it breaks I'm getting another one. It's awesome.

I've also got a Nespresso which we sometimes use in the summer to make iced coffee but in terms of taste, it's not a patch on the Sage.

Aeropress when it's just me. Love the coffee it makes, and there's no cleaning up! If I have guests, I use a large cafetiere, and if I'm feeling fancy I'll use my mokka pot.

I do this. I also have the Grind pod machine.

Caffetier.

Dh has an espresso maker but I find it a faff.

I'd like an aero press for Xmas.

Edit - it's a French press (doh 🤦🏻‍♀️)

I'm the only coffee drinker and I use the Hario Baton one cup coffee maker - just a good filter in a glass cup. Makes a lovely coffee in 3 mins

Same here. Instant from Clipper for me, DH uses a grinder and aeropress. We also have a large cafetiere but mainly use it if we have guests rather than day to day.

I use a Moka pot on the hob and buy locally roasted coffee.

I also have a Clever Dripper which is pretty handy if you're just making for yourself. You brew the coffee in the top then it drains straight in to your cup when it's ready.

I've heard good things about the Aeropress too but my favourite is definitely my Moka pot.

Moka pot for one, cafetière for 2 or more.

I've had a LaPavoni lever machine for over 30 thirty years. Gets used every day. Would be lost without it. When it's being serviced (very rarely) we use a cafetiere. Makes great coffee and looks fantastic 😁.

Bean to cup - quick and it makes great coffee.

We always use a cafetière.

Bean to cup machine (a really good Black Friday deal a couple of years ago). I think I might actually love it. It's the closest thing to a pet I'm allowed to have as I rent. I might buy one of those pushchairs for dogs and start taking it for walks. At the moment I'm liking Union beans and I drink two or three high octane cups a day.
I need good strong espresso to punch me in thr face in the morning.

That machine is magnificent @Grumpyoldpersonwithcats !
