Food Let's get it percolatin' - how do you take your coffee?

At work my wife used a refillable "K" cup (the one we bought was a generic store brand). She said it worked fine as long as she didn't overfill it. We used to put grounds in our compost heap.

 

You have a grinder and beans. Use a refillable k-cup. Plan 9 turned me on to a nice stainless steel version. I use a filter to reduce sediment.

Point taken. I like the convenience. I grind enough beans for a couple of cups and store it in a sealed container. 2-3 minutes in the morning and I have my "traveller" and I'm out the door.

I bought a cheap drip coffee maker recently, after drinking instant for nearly a year. I had gotten to the point where I was saying, "instant's not so bad!" I thought we were out of coffee a few days ago, so I made a cup of instant...and...UGH. I guess I'd just gotten used to it.

Been brewing Seattle's Best, Blend 5—dark & intense. The bag is almost gone, and next I'll be trying Gevalia Dark Gold roast. I still take it black most of the time, though I've started stirring in just a little hazelnut creamer at work since the weather's cooled off a bit.

 

5 days a week, I prefer Folgers dark roast, Sandy likes Caines

 

I'm currently enjoying Earth Fare brand (there's that company loyalty) organic, fair-trade Tanzania peaberry. Rich & tasty in the percolator or press.
I recently inherited Dad's coffee grinder, so I can keep whole beans in the house again.

My wife (teacher) is on spring break this week, so it's freshly ground from beans French Roast.

 

#coffeeoutside setup for an early morning bike ride tomorrow.

Aeropress
Porlex mini coffee grinder
Locally roasted beans
Knockoff Trangia-style alcohol stove (with windscreen)

 

Keurig these days. Even at work. I kinda miss the old full pot dispensers. I used to drink coffee with cream and sugar but have gone to black with sweetner, sometimes sugar but most of the time, Splenda.

 

Cuisinart, Make 8 cups at 6 when I feed the "girls", have one cup...back to bed till 7 ish, another cup with English muffin (bfst) MrsDAKA has one, all with creamer, leftover goes in the fridge for Iced coffee later

 

Warning: coffee photo porn is coming.

 

ohhhhh can't wait

 

just some creamer....

i drink way too much coffee. but i love my coffee

 

Still the same.

Brewed strong. Folgers Black Silk weekdays. Fresh ground from beans on weekends. Milk and sugar, or sometimes sweet coffee creamer. Recently I've been using a very rich chocolate milk; it is NOT kids chocolate milk.

 

#coffeeoutside was so very lovely.

I need to do this more often.

 

I have that kit as well. Good coffee, I am always afraid of breaking my cup I also have a Keurig and a Nespresso Vertuo set up too. And some jars of instant. You never know when there's going to be a coffee emergency.

 

Discovered a crack in the cheap knockoff Trangia-style alcohol camping stove and ordered the real thing—which I should have gotten to begin with, but #pandemicshopping—to replace it from Amazon yesterday, which arrived today.



#coffeeoutside date set for Friday morning before work with two friends I haven’t seen in months. Can’t wait... and I’ll be ready.
