Espresso is far to strong for me. Once, when out with my Daughter & my Mother I ordered one by mistake in an independent & posh coffee house, I meant to order cappuccino, my face must had said it all when it arrived & my Family thought it hilariously funny. I did drink it, but never again.

I tired espresso once. Made my heart pound (and not in a good way!) Far too much caffeine for me Iām afraid

I love coffee preferably from Kenya/Rwanda/Ethiopia which is mild, not at all bitter and slightly acidic.
I donāt like instant coffee in fact it is a misrepresentation to call it coffee.
Forget all the expensive coffee machines all you need is some unbleached filters and a cone to make the perfect cup of coffee.
I also have an enamel coffee pot for making larger amounts which stays on on the cooker .

Freshly ground coffee every time using my bean to cup machine - level 5 dark roasted beans and machine set to double espresso setting. Always drunk black.
Canāt do with the new poncey coffee names you see in cafĆ©s and the like. Americano - an espresso topped up with hot water
Macchiato - an espresso with a hint of milk
Latte - an espresso with milk and a stencil on top 
Cappuccino - as above, but with milk thickened by steam and poured on top of coffee.

My Vanilla Macchiato barely tastes of coffee?? Its all milk with a touch of coffee. Thatās Nestle for you though. I like their Amercianoā¦its level 3 and just strong enough for me.
Blimey - no wonder you are up half the night poking around in LTP! 
Usually just black, made in one of those plunger jug things.

Itās the simplest way of making proper coffee if you donāt want to be messing about with machines, which I donāt.

So you put the coffee in, then hot water and squash? 
If you donāt want any mess and prefer minimal cleaning then the pour-over method is best ā¦

Stir the coffee first, then let it rest for a few minutes before plunging gently.
