Perculator for me.  Don't much like drip coffeemakers.

I usually do drip coffee, and for cold brew in summer I have an infusor.

Drip coffee is the thing, especially with a good Moccamaster brewer. Apparently there's a whole science to temperature and flow and Moccamaster does it perfect for my taste.

For espresso i had (have, but now it's in the garage for garage-coffee) a Nespresso machine. Sure, it's not as good as a perfect espresso, but I can't make that anyway.

My brother bought me a Nespresso machine for my birthday, and I admit I use it more than it should. I still prefer stovetop espresso (maybe because I'm so used to it, but it seems to have more body to me), but the thing is so damn convenient.  Push button, get coffee.

Had this ad pop up for me on a website.

Yeah, I have an old one with a proper steam-thing (nowadays they have a hose in a glass of milk thing) so I can make Cappuccinos. I'm too lazy to do it often, but when I do it they are amongst the best I've tasted.

Yeah, it's a VR game they made to promote tourism. It's tacky beyond belief, but the renders of the places are nice.

Wish my mom still had her cappucino machine.

At home I am using a Delonghi espresso machine, one that works with ground coffee. Awesome espressos and its a compact little machine, too.

At work I was mostly putting up with the cheap instant sawdust labelled coffee that we had on stock, but switched to a pretty nice cafeterie(sp?) MUG. Very convenient. But I think I had been overdosing on caffeine in general lately, so I have switched to a routine of espresso in the morning at home, and tea at work. Except I bring my own tea filters because the English use milk and thus don't need the actual tea to have any semblence of taste.

I had a Siemens Surpresso machine that used ground beans and that you could do Espresso with. I tried absolutely everything, it never once made good cup of coffee, total shit. It cost something like €1000-1300 also, luckily someone gave it to me.

Edit: I wrote 100-130 first. That would perhaps have been what it was worth.

It's awesome. But the ground coffee you put in it matters.

I make my morning coffee while still in bed 

Best idea I ever had.

In my 20s I had a coffee maker and a bread maker with time clocks. So on weekends I'd wake up to fresh coffee and bread.

Friend of mine owns a drip machine that grinds the beans before making the coffee. It's delicious, I just need to find in me the will to spend 200€+ on a coffee machine, instead of my 15€ moka pot

I do have a nice Krups espresso machine, complete with the nozzle to make cappuccino; but ever since I've come back from Colombia I've found that I only drink American style coffee.  My cheap-o Mr. Coffee coffee maker works fine for that (though I do grind my own beans.)

When CB and I were in China we stayed at an inn that catered mostly to western tourists.  For breakfast they had a coffee maker and they filled the basket with instant coffee, and would only make half a pot at a time.  This was for about 20 coffee starved tourists.  I learned to make do with tea there.
