iippo: A bit extreme way of making coffee:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/billabbe/proper-coffee-cold-drip

I didnt participate in this myself, but seems enough people did. Usually I am not in too hurry to make coffee...but I do prefer it faster than this.

hey, I think they actually had one of these (or something like it) in a coffee bar here. They let me taste a bit, it was very smooth and full. Though apparently it really depended on the coffee if the result turned out `meh' or delicious (it just didn't work with some coffees).
For two people:

Two cups of water
Two spoons of sugar
Two spoons of coffee

Boil that together for 5-7 minutes.

PS. I don't drink coffee.
one teaspoon instant coffee
two teaspoons suger
half hot water
half milk

that or

buy 3 litres of farmers union iced coffee
drink directly from bottle
At home: I have a drip machine, a french press, a chemex glass pitcher, a stovetop espresso maker, and a bottle of Pero when all the coffee is just too coffee.

Camping: grounds in cold water in a pot, bring to a boil, let grounds settle.

JaqFrost: Come to Vietnam: smooth silky coffee with a soft aroma like none other. :) I tend to skip the condensed milk, though -- too sweet, but in summer it's a nice treat over ice.

Before I moved here, I lived in China and it was all 3-in-1 instant Nescafe coffee sticks and the cheapest coffee maker I could find for purchase was RMB 800.
I would kill for a serving of coffee from Vietnam. I took Vietnamese 1 during one semester, and we had a social gathering comprising of local and Vietnamese students, as part of a culture-learning experience. One of the Vietnamese teachers brought coffee she brewed herself.

That was the best coffee I'd ever tasted!

Ubivis: Tassimo...

Machine on, Glas or Mug placed there, insert a disk with the coffee I like, press a button and enjoy my coffee :)
Black as night and bitter as regret! :P I like my coffee without any additions (unless it's a cold day, in which case I might boil it up with some fresh chili). Unfortunately I can't afford a proper coffee maker (nor do I have the time to bother with one, really), so it's freeze-dried instant for me unless I can scrounge a proper cup off a friend's machine.
A cheap Black and Decker drip coffee maker and one of those 3 pound cans of Kirkland ground coffee.

Maybe this is why I don't drink coffee too much anymore and prefer tea.

Aningan: I know GOG has members from all over the world and I was curious of how coffee is brewed in different parts of the world. Of course I don't mean using an espresso machine.

I know in some parts even the material from which the kettle is made is important. So, how do you make your coffee? What blends/brands do you use?
Here in China people typically don't drink coffee, or if they do it's the instant stuff.

Back home I've grown rather fond of Toddy. It's a cold brew form of coffee that takes about 13 hours to brew a batch, but from there you can either add hot water for hot coffee or ice and milk for cold coffee. It's great because it lacks the bitterness that you often times find in hot brewed coffee and it means you can get a cup of hot coffee in barely any more time than a nescafe stick.

The link is very similar to the process I go through. It's a bit of work up front, but the results are worth it, especially if you like iced coffees. I think most decent coffee shops do something similar. (Read, not Starbucks)

I might be able to arrange that. I've got a friend going to Vietnam in January. I'm not sure what the import and export requirements on coffee are. But I might be able to arrange it.

LOL, back home the police close a coffee shop that was doing that. I guess, exposing yourself for money other than at a strip club counts as prostitution, who knew.

Oh don't worry about that. I wouldn't know how to properly prepare it anyway :P

I'll probably see about getting myself some. I'm sure there are instructions online about how to properly prepare it. Now that you've piqued my interest, I'll probably see about having her get me some. I know she knows some customs agents, so figuring out the legality should be easy enough.

Figuring out how to get ti from Vietnam to Singapore would be harder to figure out though.
usally get it from tim hortons, i only drink coffee cause their tea sucks,
