Earl Grey seems to me have an oily aftertaste, no idea why people drink it willingly. I buy CO-OP own brand taste ok to me, wouldn't knowingly drink Yorkshire and I boycott any tea room serving it.
I didn't want to buy a new machine after we moved, so my wife got me Wacaco's nanopresso for my birthday. I think it's originally targeted for travel use. You put ground coffee or capsules with adapter on one end, pour hot water in the container on the other end and then pump the machine to create pressure to get coffee. I use it on the weekends when I want better coffee than the daily instant coffee...
Simple paper V60 filter straight into the mug. Saves loads of hassle, quick and very tasty. I do try and buy coffee from smaller suppliers than the big names. This is a good one - https://www.coaltowncoffee.co.uk/pa...BszbxRZhOs-PgmLnAbrZRIz8mt4I1bScaAt0JEALw_wcB
We use one of these with Ground Hammer, HR4K or Ueshima beans and when we're away camping etc then the Aeropress definitely comes with us. It's an absolute game changer.
Moka pot on the gas hob. keep trying different ground coffees. Occasionally buy beans by mistake and then have to grind!
Red Label is the only one I've bought for years now. I used to like lapsang souchong, but found it was just as satisfying drinking a cup of Lifeboat tea while sucking a charred stick.

usual way. shout the Mrs. get her telt. chortle. a tassimo. usually a Lor No7. and lots of it. i was experiencing symptoms a good few years back that resulted in a visit to the Docs. the diagnosis? too much coffee.
Tea, Waitrose Marquess Gray for me. Can't abide the stewed strong, stand yer spoon up in it, variety. Apparently I'm in touch with my feminine side. Should proably ride a Vespa so I can give my mangina a good airing...
Other variations...occasionally I'll add a couple of raw egg yolks to a big strong mug. And the Xmas tradition is Irish Coffees first thing the morning of the 25th
