I worked with a guy that drank his hot that way, by mid afternoon he was wired for speed.

At least a pot a day, less what the wife drinks with her half and half.  Fresh ground dark roast beans straight up, no cream or sugar.  Pinch of salt in the grounds when brewing if I make it, maybe or maybe not if the wife makes it.  The salt helps cut the bitterness, old man I used to work with taught me that trick. I'll drink it off and on all day and evening.  So far, never a problem with the caffeine keeping me up at night.

2 large thermos in the morning no sweetener but sometimes a splash of Bailey's.  preferred coffee is Black Rifle Coffee thru a french press, strong and thick enough to stand a spoon up in aka "nurses coffee"

 I usually drink about 2 cups of coffee with a dash of milk or cream in the morning. Anymore that's plenty to get me through the day and still allow me to get sleep at night  :D

One large cup black coffee in the morning with less sugar, one cold coffee at noon and milk coffee at the evening.

My coffee is hot and black, I can't drink it cold. No ice lattes for me.

In Reply #15, I showed the coffee maker that I have been using that uses a coffee packet which cost 26 cents, but the maker is not easily adaptable to use loose coffee.   

I recently saw this coffee maker and decided to give it a try because it uses loose coffee.


 
This is also a single cup maker and cost $20.  It is very small and does not take up much counter space.


  
It also has a permanent filter which works well and cleans easily.

I am using my recently "inherited" Yeti cup because there ain't no way I would pay that much for a coffee cup, but it is crazy how long it will keep the coffee hot.

There is no way that I would spend the bucks to buy a Yeti coffee mug, but lets just say that I am extremely fortunate.  The cup was given to me, I bought the handle and my Granddaughter supplied the graphics.


 
The completely insane thing is that this cup will keep coffee "sipping hot" for an hour.  OK, I have never actually timed it, so it could be longer.   ::)

I used my wife's knock off version of a Yeti while she was gone one weekend, DanG thing kept my tea cold all afternoon in a 110 degree tractor cab, went to Bomgaars for twine the next day and spent 30 some odd dollars on my own.  Asked wife about hers when she got back, yep it was not a Yeti it was a 10 dollar Walmart special  :-\.  Then someone at the salebarn I work at decided they needed my Yetti worse than me  >:(.  But they do work great.

I did a bit of unofficial testing/timing.  Using a Tervis cup, which is plastic and double insulated, the last sip after 15 minutes was cold.  Using the Yeti cup, the last sip after 45 minutes was still hot.

It's raining again this afternoon (imagine that) so I just perked a cup. 

OK, how about sharing your coffee brand/blend?

This is nothing special; plain old Maxwell House.

MM, can't believe the pages this has run.  Here's mine.  Mr. Coffee, $16.88 one button on/off Wmart.  12 cup.  Morning after, enough to make a cup of left over, 2 minutes in the microwave.  In the mean time, pots in the sink filling.  Six scoops of Value Size Great Value Classic Roast, Medium Rich & Smooth.  380 Cup size/3 lbs.  My cup I ran in the microwave hold just under 2 cups.  I add the yellow pretend sweetener from Wmart. w/Wmart powder creamer.  Yes I use throw away filters.  Takes about 10 minutes to run the 12"cups claimed of brew.  By my measure of almost 2 cups, 6 real cups or mugs of coffee to the beaker.  Though not included filter/sweetner/creamer close to .13 cents for almost two cups of my style flavored coffee.  I usually drink three cups, wife two which leaves enough for the morning rebrew in the microwave while I prep the next pot. Eat your heart out Ripoffbucks. :D :D :D

It's a drip coffee pot like a Mr. Coffee, and as simple as she can find. 12 "cups" (I'm pretty sure they mean 6 oz. cups, not standard) with 4 level scoops (don't know the standard there) of Folgers or Maxwell House or whatever she buys.

I get 1 mug per pot; she gets the rest simply because she's faster than I am. Neither of us can stand scorched coffee, so it goes into two insulated carafes (sp?) as soon as the pot's done. Whoever gets the last mug, starts another pot. My mug is an insulated thing that my son got for me. It keeps the coffee hot enough to drink for at least as long as it takes me to drink it. She has an identical mug but rarely uses it -- prefers ceramic. Black; no doctoring.

About 24 oz for me before breakfast; about 1 qt for her. Neither of us without a cup for long throughout the day and night. Probably 5 - 8 pots per day.

 :o I would be like Elmer Fudd on helium if I drank that much coffee. When I was on the road a lot it was a basic food group but I had to back off due to health issues, it accelerated a congenital tremor. It's now two cups of Melitta as it comes from the pot in the morning, I seldom drink any the rest of the day.

She just told me it's a lot more than 5 - 8 pots a day.

Maybe tasmanian devil on helium instead of Elmer?

The office girls bought me 20 pounds of Costa Rican beans so that's all I've been drinking. Normally I buy Folgers country roast.
Weekdays and Saturday I use a old style percolator. A full basket of grind and 10 cups of water. 1/2 and 1/2 with a bit of raw sugar.
Sunday's I use a 32 oz press and let the grind steep for 10 minutes.

Percolators are where it's at and I prefer a stove top one over electric and campfire over that. Having a double expresso right now in the biz lounge on my way home. This is kinda new for me. Normally I would be swigging whiskey. Two days ago I was heading home and doing just that. At some point and time while heading toward the plane I toppled over and smacked my head. Ended up in the hospital and now I am not so proudly sporting a black eye and several stitches. I've come to the conclusion that I have a problem and it's time for a change. Coffee it is for me. There, I've said it. First step.

Nope, but there are places where I don't have to use the weed whacker any more. ;)

Wow Lee, realizing it, saying it, and taking that first step makes you a hero in my book.  I am counting on you to follow through, and I know that you can.
