Kimbo Espresso Arabica.... I get the bag of beans and grind them in small increments so its freshest.

I change up my coffee pretty regularly so when this bag runs low I will probably go with something different.

For Tea... Im a Twinnings - Earl Grey tea drinker. Since I tend to drink it later in the evening, I typically go decaf <ducks object thrown in his direction>

Green Mountain Three Continents Blend in the K-cups. Yes, I'm one of *those* people. Razz

Although maybe not for much longer, as the Keurig's motor whined at me yesterday morning without giving out any coffee. Sad

It was then I learned that you can dump the contents of a K-cup into a regular coffeemaker and get a pretty decent cuppa out of it. But that's a lousy long-term solution...

The irony here is that I've only had the Keurig machine for two or three years and it's already cranky, whereas I've never had a problem with my regular ol' coffeemaker (one of the 4-cup models that Gevalia used to give out for free), which I've had for more than 15 -- and I bought it used. I've been thinking about getting one of the new Keurigs that can brew a pot as well as a cup -- but there's hardly any point if I'm going to have to keep my old coffeemaker around anyway for when The New Hotness dies in 3 years.

What do you guys use to make your coffee?

I have a regular old coffee machine that is probably 10 years old. I also have a Krup espresso machine.

I'm looking forward to learning about Wosbald's syphon method.

I use the $15 Mr. Coffee drip machine with the auto-off. Into this I put Folger's "Classic Roast" from the Costco-sized container.

So, yeah, I won't really be posting in here too much.

But I did come to say: they went all K-cup here at work and boy, what a pain the machine is. We have 18 flavors and you can't make any of them.

Starbucks Tribute Blend 2014; Syphon brewed

The Keurig continues to act up. I can get consecutive cups out of it, but the next day I have to go through the process of clearing the line (and sometimes the spanking maneuver, as well) all over again. Sigh....

We buy nothing but Starbucks beans and grind them ourselves.

Lately, however, I've been on a matcha (green tea) kick. The powdered form of green tea has the most antioxidants of any green tea and the most intense green tea flavor, since you're basically drinking ground up plants, straining nothing.

You've got to get the good stuff. Cheap brands are awful. We buy maeda-en, a Japanese brand I pick up at the Asian market where I get my sushi grade fish. You can find instructions online how to make a cup, complete with videos or pictures. I like to sweeten with a little bit of honey and then the rest Splenda. It tastes like real sugar (well, honey), without all the calories.
