Perennial coffee thread: how do you take it?
I'm very sensitive to caffeine, and don't usually drink coffee. Except on Friday. Now I'm hyper. Even so I'll try to keep it to no more than one cup.
I like taking a fairly strong bean, having it ground very fine, and brewing it turkish style. But when I'm at the office I don't have that luxury. However, I've found that if you pack in a dense little cone of grinds into the bottom of the percolator, and run it in two cup bursts, you can actually get decent coffee out of it.

Grab mug, grab coffee pot, pour coffee into mug. Done. 8)
Do you live in Jupiter? (That is, Jupiter, FL) If so, that's a pretty solid double meaning in your user name.

Why yes, I do.
I had the perfect cup of coffee using an unknown type of bean and this setup - the lady who bought the beans went for whatever was on sale that week, and I delayed a couple months asking her what it was. I tried hundreds of kinds of beans - the closest that I could get was organic Kona, and high altitude Mexican (both of which are very rich flavors, with very little bitterness), but I never was able to recreate that total sense of bliss that I got from the original.
I finally gave up, and bought a flavia machine for convenience - I use the Sumatra packs:

Black. Strong. Like Hassan i Sabbah.
Hassan is black and strong?
Or maybe because of your busy schedule, you can order it from a touch screen while you're getting gas, cleaning your winshield, and eating a hoagie at the same time...
I take my coffee with cream and sugar unless I'm eating a muffin or something and then I put less sugar in it.
Wow, I figured you guys just went to WaWa or something...

Go for it! Let the WaWa Wars begin anew!
I'm serious about my coffee.
I mean come on... *pancakes*?

I don't live in WaWa territory anymore. Even so, there's not touchscreen for the coffee. It's self-service. You order your hoagie on the touchscreen, and while it's being made you pour yourself some coffee.
