Bean-to-cup machine by Saeco. A godsend at 5.00 am when the last thing I want to do is mess about with grinding, tamping, pulling, etc.
And it has saved me a fortune in buying the equivalent from barristas.
Espresso machine at home.
French Press in college.
Moka pot on the fire when in the woods.
It depends on the coffee and if it is the weekend or workday.
Elaborate :)Quote:

The guy down at the corner store makes mine.
Filter drip machine. Big one at home. Little one at the office.
I have to say, at work, noone drinks better coffee than I do :)
At you work or in general?Quote:

I am sorry, but I just have an electric coffee pot and a bean grinder. We's too po' for expresso machines and all that these days.
Nice post though.
I don't understand half of those options in the poll...but I use a French Press.
My Manservant Gustav FINALLY figured out how to make a decent cup, after utterly exhausting my thrashing arm...the nerve!
But who knows how he does it? Who has time to deal with such...common...things as making coffee?
Espresso machine.
None of the above....Quote:

I do have the luxury of a local roaster.... and based on what was roasted in front of me I try this and that roast and bean.
If I want a second cup I add about half the ground coffee I used the first time to the same filter and add some more boiling water.
Part of the secret is the electric water kettle that quickly boils water then shuts itself off -- no burnt coffee pot, no too loud bo-jangle whistling tea kettle.
The poll left out the vacuum pot method.
I use a Hario vac pot. Makes a wonderful cup of coffee.

I use this set up:

Coffee at home is made expresso style on an italian expresso coffee pot. I drink it without any cream, two teaspool full of brown turbinated sugar. Like I am doing now. On the go....I buy it at Starbucks, no sugar with a dash of half and half.
That I really want as a Christmas present :DQuote:

Well, get it. Probably the best home machine for that sort of money. The new line has the professional portafilter and some other goodies. Here is a great review of it. The Minimoka is a nice grinder, and you can get some very decent deals for it in the US.Quote:

Hario used to have a US website where you could order directly from them, but I don't think it's operating. If you can't find one on Amazon, you can order Hario vacuum pots from these folks: Hario Syphon Siphon / Vacuum Pots, Nouveau 3, Tech 3/5, Deco, Coffee Drip Pot, Coffee Mill | Avenue 18 - Fine Tea Merchant|Richmond, Vancouver,BC Canada. If you decide to buy from them, stock up on extra boxes of the paper filters at the same time. Their shipping charges to the states are a bit rich, so get all you need in one order...Quote:

You all spend too much time on coffee - go play with some razors!
Try to shave 4x a day ;)

We just bought a new coffee machine because the other one we had was really big and my dad is only home a couple days a week and we don't need somthing that makes soo much coffee and when I drink it I only drink a cup or 2. So my mom bought a smaller one that is supposed to make 5 cups but it makes like 1 and a half of my dads mug.
-my dad likes bigger mugs, his is like a 20oz I believe.
Coffee is a sort of hobby for me. I could stop any time. Really. I just don't want to. Really I could stop...:needcoffee:
I had a Vac Pot on my wish list this year along with an aeropress. I'm sure I'll have both before long.
Roaster: Modified counter top rotisserie drum, 3lb capacity. I only ever roast 1-1.5 pounds at a time. I'm the only one in the house drinking coffee.
>Primary: Simac espresso machine / stepless Kitchenaid Pro line grinder
>Turkish:
Zass mill, 5 different cezve's for different amounts coffee
>French Press
>I have a stovetop Bellman Cappa pot that has a steam wand that's pretty cool. Very nice to have camping.
>Various Moka pots. My favorite is a stainless one.
>I have a cool old copper stovetop drip pot that you invert when the water is boiling. I've only used it once. Drip isn't my favorite.
We have a Krups drip machine that collects dust on top of our fridge until we have house guests. Of course I pull shots, and make cappa's for them, but some people just want drip coffee.
never have been much of a coffee drinker..just once in a while and mostly when it was extremely cold.....after watching the movie "the bucket list" i will NOT be inclined to drink any exotic coffees either...:D
I don't think you'll have to worry about inadvertently getting a cup of Kopi Luwak. That stuff is $30 a cup.Quote:

French Press thingy
Don't know if one of those options were just another name for it. It's the contraption you pour coffee ground into, then hot water, then press down a metal mesh/strainer thing.
For 1 cup I use a French Press
For more the 1 when I am in the mood to drink I use a Perc.
Im at the 4 cup a day avg.
