    Dripping coffee is a art that very few can master. And we Portuguese did it.

    Every time I see tourist tasting our coffee they get blow away how good it is. Especially Franch and Nordic people.

    I have a 8 o clock coffee brand and a Dunkin’ Donuts coffee brand. When I wake up, I’ll make my large coffee mug of coffee splitting every so many days between the 2 brands. Before leaving for work or classes, I get my fresh coffee in my mug and only put a tiny bit of milk in it for a creamer. I don’t like too much creamer or that vanilla creamer some people like. I enjoy sipping on my coffee on my way to my classes smoking a cig while my anxiety medication is kicking in. It’s a great combo. Some weekend mornings I don’t feel like drinking coffee and will take a few days off so I don’t become dependent on it.

    Or days off sitting outside having a smoke while sipping coffee is great, if it’s not freezing cold out. Really miss smoking a joint with coffee. That was a better combo yet. My buddy had some coffee that was made in Hawaii and his relatives from there brought him a bag of it. That was the best coffee I ever drank. I can’t remember the name of it, however.

    French press, Moka pot, or my Nespresso machine when I’m being extra lazy (or just want to make a quick and easy cappuccino or latte).

    Most days I just use the French press though. Super easy to use, produces good coffee, is consistent, and it makes slightly more than 2 cups, which is more than enough coffee for me.

    My preference is the Moka pot coffee but that’s more of a hassle to brew and keep clean. I only use mine on the weekends and even that is pretty sporadic. I usually just bust it out when my girl wants a cup or we have company. In the end, the French press is just so d--- reliable, easy to use, and makes a very respectable cup of coffee.

    My drip too hard

    For real, I just load it up with whatever creamer I got and it doesn’t matter anyway. Usually have a cup or 2 every morning and s--- my brains out within a couple hours of drinking it. Really clears the system.

    I've also become a pretty big coffee snob over the past little while. I started out drinking Keurig coffee, Starbucks, or regular drip coffee. Then my girlfriend took me to a cafe in the Little Italy of my city, and I had a latte, and I was immediately blown away. The difference between an authentic latte or cappuccino and the s--- they serve at Starbucks is like night and day.

    Anyway, since then, I've mostly been drinking coffee from independent cafes or third wave coffee shops (or whatever theyre called). I eventually want to buy my own espresso machine, but it's pretty expensive and I'm on a pretty tight budget now. I currently have a Nespresso machine, which makes okay espresso and is super convenient, but I'm at a point where I want the real thing with the whole set up (espresso machine plus grinder).

    I also use the moka pot. Yeah, I also heard thats what most regular Italians use at home. I actually use a french press to foam my milk, and I pour it in the moka pot coffee, and it actually makes a very good latte/cappuccino. I learned that method from Youtube lol

    STep one: got to the fridge and grab a Mountain Dew.
    Step two: Crack it open
    Step three: Drink it

    Boom. Same as coffee

    Buy beans and grind them yourself. That’s the first thing you need to do to have a good cup of coffee.

    Some tips, warm the mug before pouring it, drink a shot of sparkling water it will help remove all the tastes from your mouth and procede to drink it without sugar.

    That’s the best way to taste it.

    Tip: If you want to order this at any fancy coffee shop, just ask for a "Kentucky Cappuccino." It's usually part of their secret menu.

    There's your first problem. All instant coffee tastes like dirt. It's like buying powdered milk or some s---.
