Man I can’t function until I have had a morning cup, but what does your morning coffee look like?

Latte, mocha, cappuccino, americano, espresso, instant?

How do you take it?

Doppio Espresso, although this thing autocorrected it to Coolio which does sound better.

A strong Americano, two shots. Two or three of those usually does the trick!

Depends, midweek I tend to make use of my Tassimo and have a flat white as its quick and easy to do. Weekends I do like a cafetiere and to take my time with it, currently flip between Starbucks Houseblend and Workerbee Old Mill, white no sugar.

We use an old school percolator when we are both home and a cafetière when it’s just the one of us but I have been looking at the aeropress. Are they as good as they say they are?

If I am out I will lean towards a latte but at home it's just black from a jar.

Coffee shops are just people watching perches for me with the added bonus of coffee

Rarely drink coffee while out and about but on the odd occasion it's a skinny latte (grande) to save calories!

Easy, low mess, quick, hard to screw up. Gives you a flavour profile in between the punch of a cafetiere and the complexity of drip methods.

They're not officially approved but you can buy reusable metal filters, too. Got mine from Coffee Hit.

I like my coffee black with no sugar or on occasion if it’s poor quality coffee with milk in and one sugar.

It’s not cheap coffee, and is basically like having a cafetière without the mess.

Cafe Royal, espresso forte. It's lovely but I can only drink it a couple of times a week, the test of the time I have their decaffeinated blend which is the best I've ever found.

I love coffee, just good, very strong fresh coffee with a splash of not milk. Delicious!

I forgot the brand Waitrose French or Italian ground. Another brand if it's on offer and works out cheaper.

"I have been looking at the aeropress. Are they as good as they say they are? "

No... better!

Even in blind tests, the coffee beats that of a £2000 machine. The limitation is if you want latte and cappuccino and stuff like that you're going to have to get a steam arm... but the coffee I get from mine is exceptional.

My best ever kitchen type purchase.

For me it's a caramel Cortado or a flat white. Its all down to the quality of the coffee bean and the grind and dose of the beans.

At home I usually use microground instant, for convenience.

I do have a cafetière which I used quite religiously for a while, but I need a better stock of really for that. I used to love Red Tail Apaneca, but can’t find it any more.

At work there’s a bean-to-cup machine which does a pretty decent flat white.

When I’m out, Costa Cortados all the way
