how do you make your morning coffee?

[brimfull]

I hate using filter machine as can't make small amount very well .

Cafetiere is okayish but not fab

Moka italian stove top thingy,well mine is a four cup one and I cannot seem to get the strength or amount just right.

Do I need to buy a single cup one,can I use 4cup one but use less coffee?

One cup filter dripper thing from Whittards.

lavazza italian coffee

gaggia espresso machine

loving husband to steam the milk for my latte

bliss......

Cafitiere, good Columbian beans, 6 scoops in an 8 cup cafitiere.

Cafitiere coffee must be made strong, and with good flavoursome beans, not some generic blend.

The coffee machine at work makes it. Does a good job, too.

It's threads like this that sometimes make me feel alien to mn. I just take a spoon get coffee out of jar put in mug add milk then add boiling water straight from the kettle. To be fair i'm more of a tea drinker but even then it's PG or Yorkshire....

We set the machine on a timer for the morning so that by 6.00am there's a whole pot of coffee waiting. Dh has a cup before he goes out, and the rest is mine, all mine .

sorry for THRE SCOOPS read three spoons( dessert) itne h biggest cafetire
thats tow ofr me and one and a half for dh

haev a stove top one but tis gone all bitter

tbh any advance on a cafetire for normal cofee is poncery

Like Jura - I go out to the local Republica and ask for latte to go...! And after 10, get one free!
(not starbucks tho...yuck)

ledodgy- I used to drink instant but I'm afraid I am fussy about my coffee now.

Cafetiere and stovetop not poncy imo.

HUge gaggia machine is poncetastic

Ledodgy - you put the milk in before the boiling water? Doesn't that stop the granules dissolving properly?

tut tut - alien indeed

Cafetiere, small scoop of coffee (Expresso, strength 5) half fill it. Nice big mug, fill one third with semiskimmed and and a dash of caramel syrup, then nuke for 110s. Froth up with my fabulous IKEA coffee whizzer and top up with coffee

or...

5 spoonfuls of caramel/cappuchino powder stuff from Lidl, add water, grimace and be irked for being lazy.

open sachet of nescafe instant cappuccino, pour on water, stir, drink (froth first). sorted!

instant is the pits

I'm sorry if that makes me a coffee ponce

BUT IT IS TRUE

ah...but if you don't have the real stuff for long enough, it becomes the new (less phaff) norm...i really look forward to mine now...

lol blu no it needs a good stir but it makes it nicer imo. I started doing it after a school work placement landed me in an old peoples home and that's how we had to make their coffee. I hated the placement though.I wanted museum work but they could only have me for one out of the two weeks.

Bailey's instead of milk in coffee is lovely too.

I should also point out that altough I like posh filter coffee drinking it once landed me in hospital with a caffeine overdose so I tend to avoid it now.

Oh, you lot make some lovely coffee.

I used to get my coffee freshly from Whittards. But now, due to my financial constraints I buy the cheapest bag from either Asda or Tesco, for less than a pound. I sometimes jazz it up by adding either some cinnamon or cardamom before I turn on the switch of my filter coffee machine.

gaggia baby espresso maker, lavazza coffee. we generally drink americanos from it. delish (and i freely admit to being a coffee ponce).

What makes instant cappuccino froth?? That worries me.

Instant coffee is fine IMO (I flit between Douwe Egberts and a Fair Trade one, I@m not talking Nescafe...). Obviously proper stuff form beans is best though.

With the stovetop things you have to put exactly the amount needed to fill the round bit or it won't come out at the right pressure. So, either make 4 cups and throw the excess away (or risk caffeine poisoning),or get a single cup one.
