I have a nice espresso setup at home (double boiler, PID, E61 group, plumbed in, nice grinder, etc) and for the 9 months of the year we’re there, it’s an Americano or a cappuccino first thing, same for my wife. Then I’ll usually have another shot of espresso or sometimes two before I come down to clean and turn off the machine. It’s a nice routine. For three months each winter we’re in a small rental down in North Carolina, though, and down here we just use pre-ground in a drip machine. Not bad but it sucks in comparison and helps us to REALLY appreciate the setup we have at home...

Enjoying a pourover of home roasted Ethiopian Taaroo. I have Costa Rican Tarrazu and Guatemalan Huehuetenango lined up for the week.
I'll probably start up a separate home roasting thread so as not to hijack this one. Enjoy the day.

The lion's share of the pot we make every morning. 3+ cups at least. And I'll probably have a cup at lunchtime.
Usually the brew about 50% French Roast and 50% some medium roast. Right now it's Sumatra, but sometimes it's a "Scandinavian" roast, or whatever strikes my fancy when spending too much time taking in the aromas in that aisle . I always get a pound or 2 of beans and grind them in the store. (Too messy to do at home.)

Just made a cup of Seattle's Best in my hotel room using their coffee maker. Not bad. Used bottled water instead of the tap with a little bit of 2% milk.

No way. I am not a coffee user.
Can't stand the smell and the taste is even worse. Each to his own. I'll stick with ice water.

After my tum-tum started rebelling against black coffee, I started adding a splash of dark chocolate almond milk.
I’ll never go back!! Scott

My wife works for Keurig/Dr Pepper  so lots of coffee here. They own the Green Mountain brand as well, and Dark Magic is my favorite. I start each day drinking a cup during my morning devotions, then breakfast, then another cup while playing guitar. But, in the music room, too cold on the back porch right now.

Two cups:
Cheapo Melitta pour-over from BB&B. Coupla big scoops from a big ol' orange can of Café Du Monde. Half & half from whatever the local grocery store, or "light cream" from WholeFoods if I get there. Stagger over to computer & catch up on the latest news from AGF.
