We recently acquired a Nescafe Dolce Gusto Mini Me and enjoying some of the varieties available for that at the moment! Did have a proper coffee machine but our kitchens small so wasn't ideal to keep which was ashame. Instant coffee wise the Nescafe Azera Americano is good stuff. I always go milk before water too.

It's my 15 minutes away from my desk, quick walk to the canteen and back before they chain me back up for the day. £1:35 and I'm bouncing off walls for a few hours.

Get good quality, fresh beans, grind them finely, make sure the water doesn't go through too fast, at least 20 seconds per shot. Get your milk, or soy in my case, hold the steaming wand in just below the surface, raising it as the milk expands and rises as it heats so it's always just below the surface, feel with your hand the temperature of the jug, stop before it boils. Take the jug and bang the bottom on the counter until there are no large bubbles left in the milk, swirl the milk in the jug until you see it become shiny on the surface. Pour over the coffee, tilting the cup slightly towards the jug, wiggle the jug from side to side and give a final flourish as the cup is full. Decide if it was a heart or an onion or a bum you were trying to design in the foam

I don't really drink coffee though.

15g of espresso dark roast coffee, admittedly usually pre-ground unless it is the weekend, loaded into a good hand press. Add 70ml of 97°C water and allow to soak onto the grinds for about 10s and then compress the water through the grinds over about 20-30s at approximately 9 bar keeping the pressure as constant as possible. I then like the double espresso made upto about 250ml with further hot water and 20ml of semi skimmed milk.

"Get yourself an Aeropress!! It was the best ever gift i’ve received to date...!"

The Aeropress is pretty good and gets a bit better if you swap out the paper filters for a stainless steel filter.

I would suggest, however, that if you want really good coffee you may want to have a look at the espresso hand press devices. I have both a Cafflano Kompresso and the Leverpresso. The Leverpresso is a bit easier to use but I struggle to get any crema with it but the coffee is delicious regardless (having had a quivk look on the interweb it looks like Leverpresso are not yet selling drictly to the public as the Kickstarter project for these is still distributing to backers at the moment). With the Kompresso is a little more difficult to press the water through but even with pre-ground 100% arabica coffee gives some crema so would be better for people wanting to drink the coffee as a pure espresso.

I use my mother's original Neapolitan coffee pot, straight on the hob, then top up with hot milk.

Because instant doesn't taste anything like real coffee or even anything I would want to drink.

Pretty much spot on, and I use a Dualit Espressivo machine at home, always taking my trusty Bialetti for emergency espressos while away

Starbucks for coffee

Costa for hot chocolate

Home for tea

I’ve got one of those coffee machines with the pods that makes lattes etc, it’s not bad & better than instant coffee

Although I do quite like the Beanies cinder toffee flavoured coffee
