How do ya'll make your coffee? We like the K-cup single serving but can't get a Keurig to last very long. Is there a good K-cup machine out there or should we drag the pot out again? Funny........ $20 Black & Decker & Maxwell House Wife likes to splurge when we camp French press & Folgers..............(:

12 cup Mr. Coffee, LavAzza Gran Selezione, heavy whipping cream (nothing artificial) and tiny bit of sugar.
This is the best coffee I've ever tried and I've tried a bunch! It is consistent, smooth and not bitter at all.
BTW, I like my coffee HOT!

I have a Baratza Encore grinder and a French press. I have been really enjoying the Sumatra Gayo whole bean dark roast coffee that I buy here in Arkansas.

Percolator on the stove top. If the power goes out I can perk it on the woodstove. The house brand at Aldi is good, but I'll also drink Maxwell House and my treat for myself is 8 O'clock coffee. I drink it black and it's plenty hot out of that percolator.

Our coffee maker grinds the beans fresh for every pot. Coffee starts getting stale as soon as it's ground. If you're not grinding fresh, may as well use sawdust.
As far as what beans....there are a whole lot of great beans out there. Even cheap grocery store beans, like Eight O'Clock are okay if you grind them fresh.
Biggest joke out there is buying high grade, boutique coffee that is pre-ground or in Keurig cups....might as well use sawdust.

Cuisnare? 10 cup, grinds beans fresh, French roast generally. Can be pre-rogramed for time. Hardly ever used, but scared the heck out of a bear on the deck one morning. Whole new take on "Clear the deck!"

Fresh ground beans, I use an old electric goose neck style percolator. In camp or if the power is out, I'll dig out my stainless camp pot and perc away on the old Coleman! Drink it hot and black, no funny additives. Jeff

Mr Coffee drip (set to STRONG), Folger classic roast with about 50+% more grounds. We just had to buy our third pot in 22 years. Very soft water here (not a home softener) so the pots last a lot longer than where we moved from. If we got 2 years out of a pot up north it was a long time.
If the electric goes out I grab the camp coffee pot and make a pot of cowboy coffee on the grill side burner . . . best coffee ever.

We've been married 64 years and have owned every type of coffee making device/setup known to man and woman - and probably some not known - and still have most of them. Seems like we have just about everything noted above.
The theme varies, but once we finally found some K cups with enough flavor to satisfy, we have tried to enjoy the convenience and selectivity of the Keurig maker. It is fussy/cranky, and I have repaired it three times - maybe will toss it next time - but it is several years old and still alive. If not that, it will be strong perked stuff I suppose. I do like the squeeze screen filter (French press?) stuff too.
M likes a dash of 1/2 and 1/2. I go with a light dose of stevia.

I use red can saw dust, medium roast, through a stupid Ninja branded 15 in 1 maker the wife bought last year. The only “special” feature we use is the preset timer so it starts making coffee 10 minutes before the alarm goes off.
I liked the coffee from our old Bunn better.

Was a kiosk at some mall that had chocolate covered coffee beans to be chewed on. Big caffeine kick.

I don't take caffeine very often but my wife likes an espresso drink a few times a week.
She has some sort of machine, a grinder, scales, various tooling she uses to prepare the thing. It is like watching a science experiment. Her version of reloading perhaps.

How do ya'll make your coffee? We like the K-cup single serving but can't get a Keurig to last very long. Is there a good K-cup machine out there or should we drag the pot out again? Instant. No issues. In laws are into that Kuerig thing. IIRC they have been through a couple also. I suspect if you used distilled water it would last longer. Who knows what the coffee would be like though. But for coffee I can't tell enough difference between Walmart instant decaf and anything else. well some of the Starbucks instant stuff is strongly gross but I digress. That was at a camp. And unless you put brown sugar and French vanilla creamer in coffee its nasty all around. I like fresh ground beans and black, but the brown sut and vanilla creamer sounds good

Coffee maker (Breville)... but for years cowboy coffee which I very much prefer for flavor and strength (but not cleanup).

French press with tap water. Fresh ground beans is the important part, not picky on the beans.

Egg, or eggshell? Back when, my Grampa Jim made coffee every noon when we fished. Lake water, egg in the grounds, boiled over a fire, the Dutch oven held with a gaff hook, dipped in the lake to settle the grounds.
