    How do you make Coffee?

    So how do you make your Coffee?

    I generally use a cafetiére/plunger pot sometimes a filter machine.

    I picked Other which in my case is hardly ever.
    If I was to make it it wouldbe one of those Italian pots that goes onto the hob directly.

    I recently started using my filter machine again - I bought a couple of kilos of nice german coffee last time I was over there - lovely stuff... also worked out I can save about 20 quid a week on coffee by making my own!
    tend of have filter in the morning as wake-up juice, then a couple of espressos in the late morning and afternoon for a little bit of caffiene top-up!

    I always use instant cos too lazy to get filter out. MUST have milk in first then coffee, then water. Makes a smoother cup.

    I press the expresso button, followed by the black coffee.

    One day I'll work out how to get an intravenous drip kit for it.......

    At the moment I just pour about a 5mm covering of Tescos or Sainsbury's gold (it's the same stuff) and some Coffeemate into a mug and top up with hot water from the machine at work. I used to set my filter machine up with a mugful of water and a hoooooooooge scoop of coffee before I went to bed, and I had two alarm clocks. When the first one went off I switched the filtyer machine on, switched the alarm off and went back to sleep. Ten minutes later the second alarm would go off and I'd wake up to a cup of coffee strong enough to wake the dead.

    1 1/2 spoons of Kenco, 2 spoons of sugar, the tiniest drop of milk, let it go lukewarm and chug it.
