Mad Cook
Master Chef
I don't drink a lot of coffee as I like it black and strong and caffeinated and if I have to much I tend to swing from the light fittings.
I either make it in the cafetiere or use the little china Melitta* filter thingy. I don't like the idea of the capsule systems as you have no control over the strength and you can't mix coffees to your own taste. Normally I prefer to grind my own but I'm currently buying ground coffee from the local deli which sells small packs of the blend they serve in the cafe. Not economical on the face of it but it avoids the waste of a partly unused pack. I do keep it in the freezer but I don't like it to be a museum piece.
(*There used to be a memorial in the local paper every year to a dead child who's name was Melitta Coffey. I used to feel very guilty for smiling when I read it)
