How Do you Brew Your Coffee?
My parents use a capsule machine. It's fast and easy to use, it makes very good coffee, but I find it too expensive. I prefer coffee made in a moka pot.
I don't usually drink coffee, so I can take the most out of it when I truly need it. I usually drink it if there is some grappa or sambuca available, or sometimes prepare caffelatte (milk + some coffee) for breakfast, or eat it in tiramisù c:

I don't know what is all that stuff in the poll aside from the moka so i'm gonna just say: classic italian espresso at the bar, which is the standard coffee you'll get everywhere here unless you ask for something specific. At home i brew coffee with my trusty moka.
Since i drink at least 5-6 cups per day sometimes i pick a ginseng coffee to avoid drinking too much caffeine.
I don't use instant coffee (tastes like detergent) or capsule machines (they produce too much waste, sometimes the powder is stored in plastic containers that might release chemicals and capsules are expensive), but i enjoy a filtered coffee once in a while - which is that typical coffee that you see in american movies in the big ass brewing pots.

I use my broken down Aeropress (which since the seal has failed is basically a single cup drip), double scoop of fresh ground beans, a small hunk of demerara sugar from Mauritius (I'm serious :D), and splash of half and half.
I bought an expresso machine years ago but got sick of cleaning it so it is now gathering dust in the basement. I suppose eventually some enterprising person will buy it for a song at the garage sale I may someday have.
I got a cold brew pot months ago and keep forgetting to try it out. Maybe now that the hot weather is here...

Well first, I go to the hills of Colombia to gather the beans...

Drip coffee with a lot of milk. Like, half milk. Helps my stomach. Otherwise, ouch.

I liked coffee, but due to my chronic illnesses it's been 15+ years that I can't drink anything containing caffeine, tea included, but I usually don't drink them decaffeinated too.
Anyways I used to have it normal, like we do in Northern Italy. I don't understand all those things xD

I used to use a french press til it broke, then got a cheap drip and have been using it since. I saw an ad on youtube for those mini presses and now I'm waiting for a chance to try one.

My family thinks I'm a bit crazy when I use a flashlight to make my coffee :) I just use a glass measuring cup and slowly pour off the coffee leaving the grounds. After brewing, It takes about 10 minutes to pour off because I have to slowly pour it off a couple times to get all the grounds out. If I am in a rush, I will just pour through a funnel and filter instead, but I currently only have plastic funnels and don't like using them with hot water. I am thinking about buying a glass funnel.
Total time with heating the water, brewing, and pouring off is about 15 minutes. I start with 16oz of water and end up with 14-15oz after the coffee grounds absorbs some and a small amount is left behind during the last pour (the 1 oz variance is if I spill any pouring from the almost overflowing mug back into measuring cup, do this over the sink). I have to heat the coffee in the microwave a little when done because it's a bit too cool after being poured back and forth in the cups. Also, you will end up with a very small amount of powder settling to the bottom of the cup you are drinking from.

At one point I bought an espresso machine, a cappuccino maker, and a Keurig coffee maker. You could say I'm a bit of a caffeine addict.
However, 9 times out of 10, it's just easier for me to stop and get a coffee on my way out somewhere (iced coffee being my current weakness).
TLDR: I usually don't make my own coffee. Ain't nobody got time for that.

Coffee is one of the few things I enjoy rather readily. Whether it's hot, cold, strong or weak, I like all types. I went to a garage sale last week and found an espresso machine for $5 and so far the results are wonderful as well. So here's a question: How do you like your coffee brewed? Why?
