What kind of coffee do you drink ? How do you like your coffee? How much coffee do you drink? No matter what nationality you are. Coffee has been in your nasal passages since how early ? To you the best brewing way ? Whar do you buy your coffee ? Lets get started hare.

I drink regular coffee. I am not into Starbucks or what I call "glorified" coffee. Maxwell House, Folgers, any basic brand. Oh, and it has to be black. No cream/sugar here. I MUST have my morning coffee and usually drink about 3 cups. I seldom drink coffee other than in the morning except if I am having dinner at a restaurant, then I always have coffee or if I have dessert (which isn't often) like cake/pie, coffee goes good with dessert.  BUT best cup is that first cup in the morning. TIS

I love my coffee strong , and also love ground bean's . For speical coffee's . Otherwise Folger's Columbian Roast. In a perculator. It is so much more , tasteful, aromic, sorry for the spelling , but yes , I keep it down due to B/P and such. Please do not ruin it with cream or sugar. If I have had a bad wine accident, I would love an expresso, double .
And yes no matter what time of day , coffee is the best when you get up !

One thing that bugs me though is I like my coffee steaming hot. Any coffeemaker I've had never brews it hot enough for me.  I usually pour a cup and put it in the microwave for a minute. TIS

Starting in college I ended up drinking upwards of a pot or two a day after a while -- and would spend hours on end at the diner with unlimited refills (they probably hated us, 50 cents for the first cup and 3 hours of refills  ) After years of that, it was down to "only" one or two 20-ounce cups in the morning. Black, too, cuz that's what I got used to in college, because who could afford milk and sugar? lol Anyway, I love coffee -- but for me now, it's only a rare treat after dinner at a restaurant. I can't drink it in the morning (or, at least on an empty stomach) anymore. It wrecked my stomach or something, tho a friend said adding milk would help. About 8 years ago I switched from coffee to tea (green and/or black). Past year or so I've even given that up for no reason. I just drink water now, but should try the tea again cuz it's good for ya (and green tea doesn't have much caffeine)...
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey!  lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations

 I love coffee but unfortunately I fit in with JG and his, what seems to be, addictive personality for it. I quit it in February and before then I'd happily drink a good cup before I even thought about leaving my flat. Once I'd get to work I'd devour anywhere from 8-15 more. It was rediculous. Although it wasn't my heart rate I was too worried about, it was my stomach. It's under control but I've had a history of ulcers and excess acid caused by a hiatus hernia and basically there's a shed load of things I should avoid in my diet. Unfortunately Caffeine is one. Boooo!
So die all who betray Giuliano

I drink dark French roast. I freaking LOVE my coffee. I drink maybe 2 pots of coffee and 4 shots of espresso. I have been drinking coffee since I was 5 maybe. The best way to brew is to make it normally then French press it, makes it really strong, yummy.

When I want a cappuccino or a real Caffè macchiato (not the fake sugar/caramel drink Charbucks makes that is not a macchiato at all) I go out for it at a local Italian restaurant.
At home I grind my own coffee beans and use either a pour over filter with a paper filter, a moka pot, a Neapolitan coffee maker (you flip them upside down), and I have an electric steam espresso machine.
I also have a percolator and a coffee maker that I use if I am having guests who want multiple cups of coffee. Sometimes I will use a pot and just make coffee on the stove the way it is made in Latin America.
If I'm feeling lazy I use pre-ground Lavazza brand espresso/coffee.
I make coffee strong but that's how I enjoy it.
I used to drink 3-5 cups of it a day all with caffeine; but now I just drink 1-2 8oz cups with milk/light cream, and sometimes panela or palm/coconut sugar. If it's after 12PM I usually don't drink it or just drink decaf if I am ordering in a restaurant.
I also love tea and all types of it and drink at least one cup of it a day.

Update on espresso: Trader Joe's Italian Roast is now my favorite. Good price, too. Trader Joe's wine, Trader Joe's coffee . . . Sometimes I think you ARE Trader Joe, TB  .

Ive never had a cup of coffee in my life, i feel im missing out lol. Think i might try one soon, although i am quite sensitive to caffeine in energy drinks and even tea to be honest. But i have to say i love the smell of coffee, especially in Amsterdam for some reason. Could be all the pot i was smoking to be fair

One thing that bugs me though is I like my coffee steaming hot. Any coffeemaker I've had never brews it hot enough for me.  I usually pour a cup and put it in the microwave for a minute. TIS Get a pour-over basket and paper filters. Either pour hot water from a tea kettle on it 20-30 seconds after it boils so it cools down before you pour it on the fresh ground coffee, or make the coffee in a pot on the stove but pour it into the paper filter before it boils. Do not use boiling water as this will make the coffee taste bitter. By making coffee these ways it will be hot and it's better than just a regular coffee maker or an overpriced Keurig machine. French presses and moka pots also work well but some people find coffee made with these to be too strong but I enjoy it.
