I love coffee. It's the only thing that I drink regularly that isn't water or alcoholic.
So, I was wondering, how do you make your coffee?
I use a french press. It's my favorite. I can drink my coffee as fast as I can heat the water and I can also put things like chocolate, cinnamon, alcohol in it very easily.
I will drink almost any type of coffee as long as it is filled to the brim with caffiene. For long days I will usually have 1 small cup in the morning and another at 3pm or so to re-energize my body.
I like itallian ground coffee but usually I just use an instant Fair Trade Clumbian coffee.... better than any of the more commercial stuff and I support fair trade stuff.
I like it pretty strong and about 1/3 milk. Milk has to go in before adding hot water then give it a good long stir and the milk froths just a little.
For tea I drink Tetley because my Dad works for them so we get loads of it.
Living in Italy, damn good coffee is a given. If I ever move away from Italy, it is definitely something I'd miss.
I usually drink cappuccino in the morning and "caffè normale" (espresso) without sugar after lunch. Sometimes I drink caffè corretto (coffee with a tot of something alcoholic, usually some aniseed based spirit).
In the summer I like to drink caffè ghiaccato (iced coffee), caffè freddo (cold coffee) or caffè "shakerato" (coffee, cream liquor and ice put into a cocktail shaker).
At home, I drink normal "English/USA" coffee (filter at the weekends, instant if I just want a quick cup), although I have got a coffee machine that makes decent enough espresso. I live about 200 yards from a bar though, so I tend to go there for coffee.
Coffee consumption became excessive and had to be stopped. So now I'm only buying it normal-size-cup-wise
Since then I like coffee americano best, espresso filled up with hot water to the size of a normal cup (usually 1:1).
