3. How do you make it?

[RobertDevereaux]

4. Dark roast whole bean, medium grind

Then stainless steel cone & gooseneck pot with 200 degree water.

5. A pour over then?

[RobertDevereaux]

6. Presuming so, and that's how I voted.

2. I use French Press, pour over and cold brew

Different types of preparation methods bring out different tastes for me.

7. Pour-over most days; latte using a Nespresso (original line) machine, and hand held "frother"

after microwaving milk-- maybe once or twice weekly in the wintertime. Otherwise, pour-over.

I highly recommend the latter, especially for those of us living at altitude, because you can get the water hotter than with most automated drip coffee makers.

8. I have a Ninja

It drips through a cone, does espresso in two sizes and has a milk frothier built in.

9. i make extracts.

i do use my mr coffee, but i also make extracts for cold coffee.
cover grounds in vodka, or jameson for irish coffee. let sit overnight.
very efficient.

when i use mr coffee, i use bustelo, and just add grounds until the basket is full.
sometimes i make a rly strong pot, and then make a second runnings pot.
like beer makers do. they make a big beer, then wash the grain again to make a small beer.

i am hooked on making extracts. i got hooked when someone left a half quart of tito's on my farm.
i had been making lemon balm and spearmint sun teas.
but a handful of bruised leaves, covered in vodka and you have tea in an hour instead of a day. leave it in the sun and the alcohol burns off.
most fun is making it from every gardeners most hated weed- creeping charlie. the teas is very mild, and just perfect for a hot day in the garden. i gave it to a couple expert gardeners w/o telling them what it is. made them guess. it was in a clear jug, they looked right at the leaves and still couldnt guess. they knew it was a mint, but that is as far as they got. hilarious.

i had a lot of green peaches that i had to pick as the tree was so burdened. i left them to ripen in the sun. i made a spearmint tea w watermelon vodka, and i sliced some of those soft green peaches into it. omg.

you can make an extract of most anything. i have a lot of old whole spices that i only use for xmas cookies. i just filled those bottles w bourbon other day.
the nutmeg fell off the shelf on me, and the nuts were very soft by then. so i was able to slice them into small pieces for a better extract.

10. Fresh-grind drip.......

Cuisinart grinds the beans, blows them into the filter, then drips into the pot. I do a 2-1 mix of Columbian and Hazelnut.
The grinder first thing in the morning takes care of what the alarm clock couldn't finish!

11. I'm a heathen with a Keurig

Wife and I have completely different tastes for coffee, and we tend to only drink one cup a day each, two at most.

[Freddie]

13. Me too

I love a good cup but keurig coffee is fine by me, way better than drip (with regular canned ground coffee) IMO. I like trying different brands (“coffee” coffee, not flavored!), my current favorite is Paul Newman Organics “medium bold.”

12. Most mornings it's cold brew coffee. Today added heavy cream and DaVinci Gingerbread SF syrup.

Yum!!!

14. No option for Folgers filtered with a gym sock?

15. Tea. Coffee is too complicated in the morning

When my husband - the coffee maker in the house - was off on a month-long business trip I discovered that I can not make coffee first thing in the morning without a cup of coffee first. Tea is a lot easier.

In Canada about 20 years ago I saw coffee bags, like tea bags. Did they ever really catch on there? And why hasn't the US adopted something like them (probably because the coffee they produced was godawful)?

16. multiple options on the same day even...

depending on my mood, amount of time I have, energy level, weather, etc.

But tea on rare occasion.
