Man I can’t function until I have had a morning cup, but what does your morning coffee look like?
Latte, mocha, cappuccino, americano, espresso, instant?
How do you take it? |

Depends, midweek I tend to make use of my Tassimo and have a flat white as its quick and easy to do. Weekends I do like a cafetiere and to take my time with it, currently flip between Starbucks Houseblend and Workerbee Old Mill, white no sugar.

"I grind it myself, fresh as possible, Aeropress, black
"
We use an old school percolator when we are both home and a cafetière when it’s just the one of us but I have been looking at the aeropress. Are they as good as they say they are? |

Mellow Birds or if I'm going posh then Maxwell House. 
Rarely drink coffee while out and about but on the odd occasion it's a skinny latte (grande) to save calories!

Easy, low mess, quick, hard to screw up. Gives you a flavour profile in between the punch of a cafetiere and the complexity of drip methods.
They're not officially approved but you can buy reusable metal filters, too. Got mine from Coffee Hit. |

Taylor’s coffee bags are pretty good by the way.
I like my coffee black with no sugar or on occasion if it’s poor quality coffee with milk in and one sugar.  |

It’s not cheap coffee, and is basically like having a cafetière without the mess. |

Cafe Royal, espresso forte. It's lovely but I can only drink it a couple of times a week, the test of the time I have their decaffeinated blend which is the best I've ever found.
I love coffee, just good, very strong fresh coffee with a splash of not milk. Delicious! |

"Cafetiere and black."
I forgot the brand  Waitrose French or Italian ground. Another brand if it's on offer and works out cheaper.
When out and about I'll generally have a pot of tea  |

No... better!
Even in blind tests, the coffee beats that of a £2000 machine. The limitation is if you want latte and cappuccino and stuff like that you're going to have to get a steam arm... but the coffee I get from mine is exceptional.
My best ever kitchen type purchase. |

So I love it when I have my stove top on with fresh beans but I’m too lazy for that most the time so I use my nespresso vertuo with my melozio capsule. I don’t do instant coffee ever |

"For me it's a caramel Cortado or a flat white. Its all down to the quality of the coffee bean and the grind and dose of the beans.

We met someone on here last year who had a burr grinder , it really makes a massive difference , we bought the same one !! |

At home I use a cafetiere and is usually a strength 4/5 just black, more of a tea drinker,but on the odd occasion I am out, I go for a straight up black Americano. |

At home I usually use microground instant, for convenience.
I do have a cafetière which I used quite religiously for a while, but I need a better stock of really for that. I used to love Red Tail Apaneca, but can’t find it any more.
At work there’s a bean-to-cup machine which does a pretty decent flat white.
When I’m out, Costa Cortados all the way |
