I'm a little of a coffee snob myself. I moved on from traditional coffee a few years ago in favor of espresso, specifcally 'Americanos' which is simply espresso and water (I'm sure there are different versions of this, but when I say Americano that's what I'm talking about). At Starbucks you'll end up paying over $3 for a grande, which is unnecessary. So I spent the few hundred on an espresso machine and haven't looked back. Americano's are easy to make, super caffeinated and incredibly rich and tasty. What you'll need and how I make mine below:
How I make my morning coffee:
I put a kettle on the stove of fresh, filtered water and begin to boil. Preheat my espresso machine. I make four shots of espresso (this lasts me till noon usually). I use syrup for my sugar and flavor, specifically Torani, they have a great selection with no need to add additional sweeteners. They also come in sugarfree varieties. Put that at the bottom of your mug (or travel mug). Add the shots. Pour the hot water into the shots - this goes more or less by taste. For me, I use a little less water because I'm a coffee-fiend, but you can go as high as 1:2 at first, until you acquire the taste. I then add non-dairy creamer, for a) less lactose and b) it generally makes it creamier, which yes - is odd. Substitute with skim milk, 1/2 and 1/2 or nothing at all.
Lastly - enjoy! Thats some good coffee you got there. I'm not a chugger - my four shots last me a large portion of the day by keeping me going with sips for hours. It's a bit pricey and a little more involved than your regular coffee - and you can totally get by with espresso K-cups and your water coolers hot water to make the whole process much easier, but likely far less delicious. Also - trial and error is a big factor in making it the way I detail above. How much espresso to use, how much pressure you apply when you tamp it, how much hot water - all a matter of taste and trial. Do it enough times and you'll have the whole thing done in five minutes easily.
A note of caution: don't let anyone try it. They will have you be the office barista before you can say ERROR IN DRIVE BAY 0.
Wow, I thought I was going crazy for a second, but then i checked camelcamelcamel and saw that indeed this morning the price was $12.
Maybe amazon saw my comment and changed the price to reflect inflation LOL
