I alternate between buying it with breakfast, and boiling water on the stovetop and using a French press (what I'm doing right now). I don't want to get a coffee machine because we have very little counter space, and also I already drink too much coffee as it is!
How do you make your morning coffee?

I like filter coffee, I use Folgers or Maxwell House. I have a good ratio for my machine, 6 cups water and 5 scoops of coffee grinds.
I brew the whole pot, swirl it in the carafe, then add milk. No sugar.

We have a cuisinart we automatically set each night before bed 
We like it plain black!
I need to get a french press for my office.

I have a Hamilton Beach two in one machine. On the weekend I make a full drip pot, but during the week I usually just make a Kcup into my travel mug to drink in the car on the way to work.

I use a keurig. My DH doesn't drink coffee so it's a perfect system for 1.

At home I mix hot milk with instant coffee and stevia (poor woman's latte). At work I have brewed coffee with stevia.

I gave both a Keurig (I won it in a raffle) and a regular Ole pot. I love the Keurig except that I have to wait a little longer for the coffee to cool before I drink it. It's cheaper to make coffee in the pot plus it's easier to find fair trade coffee in grounds than in K CuPs. I use a formula scoop and I just put one scoop of grounds per one of my coffee cups full of water. I don't make the whole carafe because I'm pregnant and am the only coffee drinker in the house and will drink it all. I love coffee. I usually drink it black or kind of like a latte, shaken up with grass fed and coCount milk

We have a keurig & an espresso machine. The keurig is on the counter. The breville espresso is in a box and comes out for special occasions!

We have a Nespresso that we would use until like 2 days ago. But, dh has started regularly drinking coffee in the morning (he never used to) so it seem ridiculous to be making multiple capsules at a time (I would make 3-4 shots for us both while dh was out with the dogs because they bark at the machine...). SO we literally JUST bought a regular drip machine to make a pot for both of us in the morning. So much less wasteful!

DH makes it and I pour it from a regular mug into a contigo.
Just drip coffee with milk and a touch of sugar.

@mamimami: Your response made me laugh out loud!
We have a tiny target brand coffee pot that makes enough for me (decalf at the moment bc TTC). DW uses a french press which I frankly cannot stand because it makes the coffee thick and syrupy! So it works out to have two systems.

I’ve almost completely switched over to drinking tea vs. coffee, but my husband makes coffee for himself every morning and some mornings I just need that punch of coffee. We have a French press at home (8 scoops of coffee, fill to the top, wait 4 minutes and press into rich deliciousness!), and at work I keep Peet’s k-cups on hand for the Keurig.
We both take our coffee black.

Lately it's been French press, but if I'm in a rush then (instant) Turkish coffee and if I'm really, really in a rush then instant with a splash of coconut milk.

DH is very into his French press as well. I can care less haha!

I mostly drink tea. If I have to do coffee I do cheap instant 
I have a cheap keurig I got as a Christmas present a few years ago but it hasn't worked in months (clogged) and I haven't really cared to fix it since I was already cutting out coffee for the most part when it broke.

We used to be all about the french press but now we use a chemex and I definitely prefer it!

And now I want more coffee. I looooove coffee. The taste and the caffeine! But even decaf.
