We have a cappuccino machine at home and in the tt. This way I can get my caramel macchiato. We also have a keurig at the house. I get the cafe mocha. Add a little caramel and you end up with a cup of coffee that tastes just like hot chocolate. My coworkers tell me I must have this before work or I'm not allowed to come in. Something like I'm a lot calmer and more sane with this on board. Ah well, it's an excuse to have more fru fru coffee.

We employ a Hotel grade single-cup version of the Keurig - compact and works like a charm.

My wife and I are Folgers and Green Mountain Coffee Drinkers with a touch of Baileys or St. Brendans Irish Creme Liquor. We love the early morning rise since my 20+ years of serving in the military have programmed me that way. Army Strong!

We have a Keurig as our primary coffee maker in the morning. For a back up we have an electric perculator.

i see no need to run the generator in the morning, to make coffee. there are plenty of non-electric choices to make coffee, including the two i mentioned.
to run the generator just so you can make a cup of coffee, IMHO, is rude.
I use a percolator to make coffee, I don't know the brand, it will make about 10 cups. I like hot coffee and a percolator on the stove sure makes it hot, DW don't like it so hot and she puts a ice cube in hers

We have a 6 cup French press. It makes wonderful coffee! Some may not care for the mess though. We started camping with a popup and I found this to be a great way to have our morning joe. We just recently upgraded to a HTT and I still think the Press will be our preference, as we have no counter space to spare. The Starbucks Via instant coffee works well too! (I am a bit of a snob when it comes to java.)

I've mentioned several different options to the Mrs, but she loves our French Press so there won't be any changes any time soon!

For me, there's something magical about a percolator sitting on the camp stove or campfire, but I do also use a pour-over similar to those in previous posts. We both drink coffee, but I'm the one who has to make it, and since I'm heating water for tea (sorry, there is but ONE way to make a proper cup of tea, and it's not in a machine) I don't mind the perc a bit...

I'm a die hard coffee drinker, but do enjoy a spot of Earl Grey.

We were fortunate enough to live in the UK for 3 years. I absolutely love a nice cup of English breakfast tea with milk and a scone

Well, now that you ask. We have a 12 cup electric coffee maker, a single cup Kuerig, and an old "boil the water, pour over grounds" drip maker. Each has a place in our travel styles. If traveling with others, we use the 12 cup and share. (Sometimes even pour it into a pump dispenser and sit it outside) If just the wife and I, we use the K-cups. When dry camping (hunting) we usually boil a pot of water and savor the smell of it dripping thru the grounds in the tin drip pot. Thanks! Now I need a cup of coffee. :*)

Ours is a 10 cup, elect drip. We sometimes buy Dunkin' Donuts coffee. Folders is good too. We also like Gevallia - can't spell it. What ever brand we buy, we buy whole bean and grind it fresh, each morning. No, we're not at all fanatical.

Dunkin Donuts? Oh no. I'm going to have to bring you some good ol' Tim Hortons. Now, how many 10 cup boxes will I need to supply everyone at Goshen?

Nespresso machine hands down best cup in my opinion. Makes Keurig and tassimo look like minor leaguers... flame away!!

I've heard that Nespresso is supposed to be excellent but have never tried it. I want to find someone, by me, who has it. Then I could try it before I buy it.
