Having Skim milk in your cuppa by choice is just as bad!

Lattes are normally made a fair bit cooler than flat whites or cappucinos, so you can drink them prety fast (good for impatient gits like me). Plus, drinking lattes annoys the likes of Piers Akerman and Miranda Devine so I'm all for it
I make my morning coffee with Lavazza (sp?), but I don't like the hassle of frothing the milk so I normally just make a shot of coffee with the machine, add the milk and heat it up in the microwave. I'm working in Malaysia at the moment and I'd kill for a good coffee!

Black coffee, no sugar. I love a good coffee but I can put up with shit in cases of emergency. A woman at work gets beans in from all over the place and we have a burr grinder at work so it's been pretty good lately!
Double shot Espresso / Ristretto every morning, home Espresso machines rock my world. All you people putting any milk of any kind in your coffees are pussies in my book. Especially leitch. I will however agree with him and say that anything Merlo makes is pure crack cocaine in my books.

I have a Rancilio Silvia and Rocky grinder ... manual labour coffee !!!
Fresh Mocha Harar or Ishmail Yemeni beans from coffeeco.com.au, ground just right ... Hmmm, O the aroma
Aint no excuses here ... and I make a lot of average for the one God shot !!!
The three 's' ... short, strong and sugar.

I'm half Italian so I love the stuff.
Espresso coretto (short black with a shot of homemade grappa). Wonderful.
Too bad I cant have it before work in the morning!
And I reckon all those $2000 home coffee machines are a big wank.

On the contrary, they are superb.
When you need to pull an all nighter, just fill a mug with espresso and you're set!
The 2000 dolllar machine will last you years; 2000 can only buy you so much crack.
You COULD just add a glass of water to a 5 kilo tin of instant coffee, but hey, if you can afford the best, I say go for it!

Double shot Macchiato 2 sugars
or
Double shot Cap with 3.
I didn't drink coffee before I was about 21-22. Maybe because my parents didn't 'do' cafes & only drunk instant. Now though I can't operate properly in the morning without it. The smell of freshly ground beans has to be one of the most pleasurable experiances around.
I am currently waiting for my work cafe to open so I can get a damn coffee!

For me it's a toss up between a latte (for speed), flat white (for cred) or a macchiato (when I don't want too much of that silly milk wasting space and I need a coffee hit fast).
Working at Mitchell in Canberra is bad though as we have Jindebah Hills here who roast their own blends. Mitchell is a hole when it comes to food but it has some of the best coffee in the ACT.
If I'm not gettng someone else to make it and I want okay coffee I'll use a plunger, if I want good coffee I'll use my stove top perc.
In the cupboard I have a vintage Atomic espresso machine in coffee coloured wrinkle finish. Makes a damn nice brew but very labor intensive as tamping of the grounds, coarseness of the grind, temp of the gas flame all have a huge impact on the final product. I really need to spend 3 months learning how to get the best from it.

Double shot macchiato for me, i recently bought some illy espresso grounds, its not quite as good as the coffee that we do at my cafe, but its definately a nice wake up. ive been having problems with my machine lately, the steamer isnt coming out hot enough any more, and i de-scaled the whole machine hoping it would help, but no. im up for a new one it seems.

Bah, so many Canadians rave about bloody Timmys. Okay, so I tried it.Tim Horton's all the way, baby.

Basic gist is that it's pretty uninspiring coffe but at least it's consistent.
Good bagel range though...
