I like coffee. One cup a day, generally, fresh ground and brewed at home. I’ve got a burr grinder for the beans, and a high-temp drip machine. I use Kona coffee we get direct from the farm; it’s a place we toured the first time we went to The Big Island. I alternate between a dark roast and a medium roast flavored with macadamia nut oil. I’m more of a coffee geek than a coffee snob*.
I’ve done French press, and it does seem to add a bit more taste. Presumably, though, according to some studies it lets in a little more of the potentially cancer-causing thingies, so I’m off that for a while. (It was marginally worth the extra work to do French press, but not with the added risk.)

Coffee. How many cups depends on the day. My initial cup is almost always from a pour-over, which is my favorite method, followed by the French Press. The pour-over removes most of the bitterness while maintaining the flavor.
IMHO, it improves the taste of even cheap coffees. However, some coffee simply tastes like *kitten* regardless how you brew it.0 -
About 4 cups (mugs) of French Roast.

2 cups of Dunkin Donuts made in a drip machine every morning. 1st cup is regular, 2nd cup is decaf both made with a splash of 1% milk. On those occasions when I am having breakfast for lunch or dinner IE a scrambled egg sandwich, there will probably be another cup of decaf.0

I'm with @cakeman21k on this. I have one travel mug of Dunkin Donuts' coffee (French vanilla) from a regular drip machine, with some Splenda. This is a hold-over from my time(s) living in Boston.
On Shabbat we don't "cook" (i.e., freshly heat) water, so I make Folger's instant coffee using water from an urn that we fill before Shabbat starts. It's not the best, but it was easy to get used to!0 -
Black tea without milk. Prior to dairy allergy, I added a big glug of whole milk. Never sugar. Sometimes two mugs but never more.

I like black tea; but, with the exception of Earl Grey, I cannot drink black tea without sweetener or lemon juice. If I do, I become pretty nauseated.0 -
Coffee. Currently from a Keurig. Usually 3 10 oz cups. 2 half caf, 1 de caf They actually make half caf pods.
We switched to making half caf about 15 years ago. It’s what I’m used to now.0 -
8-12 oz of decaf coffee black depending on which cup I grab.0
