I don't drink coffee, but everyone around me just takes the coffee grounds, puts them in a filter, and then lets the water run through. Unless they're making espresso or using a french press, that is. I've never heard of anyone using spices.

Take coffee grounds and dump them in boiling water? Add sugar, milk, w/e you want. Drink glorious morning coffee.

[Helgoland]

No filtering? That's called 'Pröppkes' in Northern Germany, and has largely been supplanted by filter coffee, because ew bits of ground coffee.

My sister drinks hers like that, I think.

Either a french press or more recently an actual coffee machine. I typically drink it with milk and sugar on a spectrum from zero to two spoons. Not normally spices, but I've been known to stir some in after it's done most of the steeping but before I've added milk. I can't remember what, but probably nutmeg, cinnamon, or a blend.

[Bumblebee]

Ha! I sit pretty- make very strong, sweet and spicy coffee based on milk that nobody except me can drink. Public consider it to be slops, but I enjoy. And nobody tries to steal it, very nice. Non-filtered, naturally.

Two different locations, exactly same situation.

I like to brew it in a pot (no boiling!) and pour it through a sieve/filter. Great coffee, no grounds!

Weekday mornings, my wife usually makes the coffee before I get up, and it's just decent quality ground coffee in an automatic drip coffee maker, which I drink with milk just cream. When I've got more time, I'll make coffee in a french press, and sometimes will add things like shaved chocolate, nutmeg, cinnamon, chili, black pepper, allspice, cardamom, cloves, or vanilla. Depending on what I've added, I might drink it with just cream, or with cream and a little sugar.

Ah, Mint Chocolate Chip Milkshake, how you cool me down in these rapidly overheating days...

Something about mint is just naturally cooling, y'know?

OHHHHH, that's what those things are

I drink shit-tier coffee from Timmies. It's cheaper than becoming a coffee snob. I apply the same logic to beer.

[timferius]

I percolate like a boss. Also, the smell of freshly ground (in a burr grinder of course) coffee beans is heavenly.

[freeformschooler]

Save money on god-tier coffee by buying bulk grounds and/or beans from hippie stores like Whole Foods and Fresh Market. Dunkin Donuts also sells great grounds. It's always ten times better than Folgers and other pleb coffee. You can usually find bags of good grounds for $4-8 depending on where you go, and that's a couple dozen cups if you're doing it right. Don't buy from coffee shops unless you have to.

I also "cold brew" iced coffee, and it's absolutely fantastic, especially on these hot Spring days.

[timferius]

Just looked in to cold brewed coffee, as soon as the weather heats up again I'm definitely doing that.
