Man I love a cup of coffee and usually have it black with a touch of sugar, but sometimes find when abroad that there are coffees where you don’t need sugar in them as you get are so smooth.
What type of coffee do you like? |

"The type where they're that smooth You can get them here if you know where to look. (Follow the hipsters)"
Was that an offer of coffee?
What brand do you go for though?  |

I get roast and post from a speciality supplier from home. There are a few indie places I rate in Manchester. |

No sugar, touch of milk or a cappuccino.
Cant stand cheap instant coffee or that powdery taste, or bits still floating, and NEVER in a stained cup that looks as though it's never seen clean water. YUK! |

OP, try swapping out the sugar for a touch of honey when at home. Smoothness upgrade, I promise.  |

"Anything that's not decaf and wakes me up. Although I drink so much of it I'm not sure it actually does anything anymore"
You're lucky, caffeine does absolutely nothing to me at all.
Same thing with morphine so I'm a hospitals nightmare patient  |

Ooo I love a good coffee. My fave is Nicaraguan beans roasted in Wales and served using a fabulous machine at my local cafe.
At home in my cafetiere I just use asda Italian house blend coz I've no chance of making anything that special without an expensive machine.
I only discovered coffee age 38. |

"I grind beans in an antique hand grinder so takes bloody ages to make a coffee. Peruvian at the moment. "
For us it's as much about the ritual of making the coffee as it is about drinking it.
We like drinking coffee Turkish restaurants for that reason |

Just bought a load of bourbon coffee beans in Rwanda, Lake Kivu, it’s one of my favourites but I think blue mountain is the best. We freeze them as beans quickly and grind from frozen with electric grinder and then put through aeropress |

Absolutely love my coffee, would give up alcohol before coffee.
Bought a full blown commercial espresso machine off ebay a few years ago for a good price then last year got a doserless grinder, this is where the magic happens!
A properly made espresso is just the best.
Trouble is now that I've turned into a coffee snob  |

I only hand grind my beans using an antique pestle & mortar, the beans have passed through the digestive system of a unicorn, twice. I do this whilst listening to vinyls of bands you’ve never heard of. |

I only made this thread, because I got some of those Taylor’s coffee bags to try today.
You only get 10 bags and they are quite expensive. But my, what a coffee they make.
Got blend no 4 the Italian one and it’s really smooth and needs no sugar.  |
