Post subject: What's your morning coffee preference?Reply with quote

Just curious. I drink coffee in the morning purely medicinally, I just can't function without it. After that, I'm good for the day and rarely buy a coffee.

I can't fathom that people can get up in the morning, shower, dress and leave the house without coffee, then buy one on the way to work.

I've got instant in the cupboard for emergencies, a drip filter machine currently loaded with some serious strong columbian coffee from Costco, and an Aldi capsule machine which is my normal go to.

I actually like the drip filter coffee if you get good beans.

I have one of those Italian stove-top espresso boilers. Its not a Bialetti but its the same idea. Its a 12-cup gizmo and I have two complete pots before I do anything else, every morning, without fail. For preference, I make it with Vittoria mountain grown whatever, or if theres a shortage of that, I go with the Lavazza. My wife uses the Aldi machine but I dont find it strong enough, even with the 13 strength pods.

2 x 12 cup pots?? WTF!

I use the 13 strength pods, but I use 2 when I really need a boost, like I will tomorrow since its 1.59am and Im still to excited to sleep! I just watched the first half again, I should go back and watch the rest! I aint close to sleep!

Aldi pods all the way, thank God for the day they come into my life ☕️, and the blacker the better.

I purchases an ENA coffee machine off a guy at work. Cost him around $1500 as a present for his mum, she used it a few times and didn't like it. I got it for $250. You put the beans in, tells you what to do. You can froth the milk if you like. Tells you to add and empty, when to change filters. It's great. That's my coffee in the morning. Very fussy with what beans I use and that's my cost factor. Mountain Grown Vittorio on special is one I grab but will pay top dollar for good coffee. Nespresso machine at work and Vittorio mountain grown pods in my draw. Love my coffee. My future daughter in law from the US is a qualified in a variety of fields with degrees and masters is working as a Barista and loves it. She says Melbourne is full of coffee snobs, I agree.

Nothing but freshly ground beans (usually illy) in my Bialetti moka express, 3 pot. I wouldn't touch pod coffee with a 10 ft pole, yuk. It's like comparing a coles bbq steak to a 450 day grain fed piece of wagyu Angus cross from Jacks Creek. Yes, I'm a coffee snob. I grew up on espresso. Mamma mia would put a few splashes in my milk bottle Wink

I drink coffeee but I drink a lot more tea. I need to have a cup of tea first thing and it needs to be tea leaves not a tea bag. At home we drink an Australian tea "Madura"

Low caffeine and low tannin Wink but a lovely flavour.

Really that much coffeee? Shit, I could fire my house up with that. Just need to attach some jumper leads.

That is way too much for your health P4S.

Ive never really been a coffee drinker. Will sometimes grab a $1 7/11 latte if Im tired and struggling to concentrate at work, but its not something I drink routinely or for pleasure.

Blood pressure 130/80, as of 4 pm on Friday, says my doctor. Bad coffee ruins lives and marriages. Good coffee never hurt anyone.

Anyway, I know when to stop - when I feel like I may have early Parkinson's, I know I've had a pot too many. Shocked
