We wnt to a friend's house and they had brewed coffee for aster dinner! Soooo much better than the instant coffee we keep at home for the rare occasions that we drink coffee in the house.
Coffee drinkers: what kind of coffee do you have in your house: instant, brewed, espresso or something else?

Brewed coffee whole beans only, or the Nespresso. I recently had the starbucks instant coffee, it's pretty good!

@mrbee: I am so interested in this--do you guys tend to get coffee out most of the time?
We have this thing called an aeropress. It makes a cross between a french press and an espresso. And when you combine it with good beans...YUM! We have a burr grinder that we got after an embarrassing trip to a snotty coffee roaster, and also have a thing called an aeroccino that makes delicious steamed milk (well, minus the 'steaming' part). Anyhow, in the end it takes a few minutes but it is so yummy!

Everyone here in South Florida drinks cuban coffee, so I keep espresso on hand. I can make lattes, cafe con leche, cuban coffee, etc.
I keep instant for when my mom comes to visit. She actually likes that stuff. ugh!

We have brewed coffee using freshly ground beans. We also have an espresso machine for those days we don't want regular coffee.

Starbucks instant is pretty good! We use that if we are in a hurry or else we use a French press with Blue Bottle coffee.

We only have coffee beans. We're a French Press/percolator household.
@chopsuey119: haha, you're so Korean! I'll sometimes add it to my coffee.

Never instant! We have beans and grind fresh beans every morning for brewed coffee. Espresso/Capps for special occasions and when we need a special jolt. French press on the weekends.
I'm currently drinking ground decaf - blegh.

@chopsuey119: I've tried looking for that! No luck yet.

@caffeinated: haha I didn't start buying them til I got married! I used to have an espresso machine and would make lattes every day... 
I blame moving to ga and my husband

We got a Nespresso machine for our wedding gift from SIL when she worked for Nestle! Tastes great and I love the convenience and cleanliness of the pods! If we had to buy one for ourselves, I'd buy a Keruig for the same ease and convenience!

@regberadaisy: do you have a Korean market close by?

Peet's coffee and a French press. No instant or pod type coffee because it tastes too weak and watery to me. We also have a cool vintage espresso machine.

We drink Maxim White Gold... Got a huge box for like 40% off! It's good enough since I'm cutting down on coffee these days.
I had a little espresso machine in college and would love to buy a big espresso machine when we buy a house.

We use a French press or also Indonesian style (finely ground, no filter )

We have a keurig so I guess that counts as brewed?
My parents have an espresso machine, a French press, and a regular coffee maker.... their house is coffee central!!

I rotate those packets of cappuccino or one with Daim candy in it (except those are a pain to clean out of the cup)! We also have a jar of instant, for when DH's folks come for fika (coffee + pastries).

We have a keurig and kcups, drip coffee maker and brewed ( and decaf) coffee, a stove top espresso carafe and instant coffee just in case! We like our coffee in our house.

We buy whole beans and grind them. I use a french press, and my husband uses his coffee maker.

We have a keurig. I would love to buy a reusable kcup and fresh beans but we don't drink enough coffee. It would be a waste.

All 3. I actually won one of those $100+ Keurig machines and gave it to a coworker. No need for it.
I have a perculater, an espresso machine, a kettle and filter for drip coffee by hand, and instant coffee (for DH on his early early shits when he can't tell the difference).
No coffee grinder but I do want one.

@mrbee: we got a keurig for christmas last year, and now i am addicted to it! i'd say my coffee consumption has doubled and it has made me dislike starbucks b/c i can make a better tasting cup with my sugar and cream at home.

We do the french press or a stovetop espresso. We even roast our own coffee beans so everything is always super fresh.

@runnerd: That's why we don't keep good coffee in the house!! I already drink way too much coffee... if we had good coffee in the house, I'd probably drink way more!

@Andrea: blue bottle?! Do you live in the Bay Area!?
We have brewed. After I got sick a few weeks backs I actually prefer tea more.
