How do you prepare your coffee?

I didn't think it proper to hijack the other coffee thread with this question for the masses thus i figured I'd make my own thread about this.

How do you prepare your coffee?

I enjoy using a french press most, and it's currently my only means of coffee production right now due to the death of my crappy drip coffee maker. I also find that the press makes far better tasting coffee than drip, it must be the oils that are not filtered.

I am interested to know how all of you coffee drinkers prepare your coffee, i know there are a lot of you .

I use an AeroPress, and absolutely adore it.

Inverted mode like this:

/\ nice!
for coffe in the morning I use the Cuisinart grind and brew, which takes enough beans for 10 cups of coffee, and goes off automatically.
this usually scares the crap out of me at 7:15 precisely each morning. For some reason my wife and 3 1/2 year old daughter take no notice. this sucker is loud.
for real coffee I use the cuisinart manual 15 bar espresso machine, which I adore. steam up 1/2 baileys 1/2 skim milk and have a great latte at night. I use the cuisinart burr grinder each time for the expresso machine so the grounds are fresh.
I compost all of my grinds as well as they are great in the composter!
I do not work for Cuisinart, just seem to have a lot of their gear. I also have their griddler and convection toaster oven...wow.

I would like to know where I can order blue mountain beans in Canada or the best way to buy unroasted beans and roast them at home?

Unlike Mr. Coffeecatastrophe, I put three scoops of coffee in the machine and punch "go:" Folgers 1/2 Decaff, Redeye, and some Bosnian brand whose name I can't think of offhand - one scoop each. We're trying to save money and have decent coffee at the same time.

I'm not sure. There's always a pot of it waiting for us at the office.

For fresh ground coffee, I use a press pot. But I do drink instant coffee, and I mostly drink Nestlé Taster's Choice coffee in that case.

I put the Wawa bag in the filter and press go and work. At home its a Bodum french press. All black, none of that weak sissy stuff.

I saw that Aeropress in the other thread too, I will have to check that out.

Coffee for me has to be strong. I'm now on instant coffee called 'Nescafe Cafe Rood' which has a small hint of cacao in it. The extra taste is a nice and addictive bonus.

4 or 5 tea spoons in a half sized mug and some hot water. 2 times a day and I'm on my limit. Before that I drank Douwe Egberts, I'm Dutch.

oh wow thats all pretty hardcore.
I whack a heaped spoon of nescafe freeze dried in a cup, 2 sugars then as little hot water as I can get away with and down it in one.
