Are you a fan of espresso, cold brew, aeropress? Do you try new beans and roasters regularly, or stay with what you know and love?

I generally prefer filter coffee (with a re-usable filter, no oil sucking paper!) or plunger, but currently have only the plunger because of lack of space. A good syphon can also be supurb. I've also started roasting my own beans - I'm definitely a long way from expert, but am getting pretty solid results and am am slowly improving.

I have a nespresso machine. For my morning coffee I use 4 pods randomly selected from my huge basket of pods (I buy in bulk every time the boxes of pods are on special at the supermarket), add 285ml of boiled water, and a milk froth cycle from the machine. I have a double-sized mug to put it all in.

I used to drink coffees through the day using two Nespresso pods and frothed milk. But I gave up on buying the Nespresso branded pods because I got sick of their website fighting me. They offer a free thing if you buy x number of pods, but literally every time I ordered and spent time carefully selecting the pods I wanted, when I got to the order screen at least one of my selections was out of stock so I would lose my free thing and have to go back and refigure out my order. Why let me select pods you aren't going to sell me? Anyway, Nespresso have lost a customer because of that. Once or twice would be tolerable but it was literally every time.

Now my day coffee is nescafe gold, make sure you add the milk before adding the water.
