If I’m drinking it for purpose: Market Pantry Columbian Blend $3.99 for a 12 pack of kcups.

If I’m drinking it for pleasure: anything I don’t have to make or pay for myself.

I have a k-cup/regular drip coffee maker. I make a whole pot in the mornings unless I’m headed out immediately.

K cups are Community Breakfast Blend or Starbucks Pike Place-both available in bulk at Sam’s.

I buy Brookshire’s whole bean for the carafe. It’s only $8 lb and tastes good to me. I grind it (blade, not burr, shut up) just before using it.

I’ve thought about getting really into coffee, but I can only have so many hobbies and I like my coffee to take less than 20 mins to make.

At home we rotate through local roasters' whole bean like french truck, brew-haha, cafeciteaux, Reve. If I want a to-go coffee i usually pick up a cold brew from Brew-HaHa with half&half and splenda

Also, you should try a French Press sometime. It takes a bit more time to make a cup. But it’s well worth the effort.

It takes more time than a Keurig but I find it faster than waiting on my drip coffee maker. Just a little bit more work. The final product is so superior to k-cup or drip makers that it's almost like comparing grape juice to wine for me.

I don't really have a brand. I'm always trying new ones. I'm currently on my third bag (2 lbs for $15) of Don Pablo medium-dark roast in the past month so that's been my go-to lately. Just been ordering from Amazon.

A french press is fast with a hot pot. It takes the water 4 minutes to heat and then 4 more minutes in the press. Add another minute for grinding.

I’ve got a French press and I’ve tried it a few times. It still takes a minute, plus it doesn’t keep the coffee hot for cups 2 and 3.

I’ve also got a chemex and that just takes way too long. Delicious coffee though.
