How do you make your coffee?

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. :)

Mine looks like that except it's bigger.

Good old Mr. Coffee and folgers breakfast blend. 1/2 cup of grounds for 10 cups water. Smooth, hot, caffinated... yummy.

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 forgot to mention that I love tea, and now that I am thinking about it I cannot belive that i forgot.

I love green tea, black tea is nice for somethings though, like hot weather.

Filter coffee is the best, the stronger the better.

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.

A jar? So that would be more like vanilla tasting chocolate milk, right?

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).
