Do yourself a favor, and experience the real coffee bliss.

Buy yourself a coffee mill (not a blade grinder since these burn some of
the essential oils in the bean and give off tastes,) and quality whole
coffee beans (please no flavored crap, quality coffee has nuances of its
own which do not need enhancers.)

Bring water to a boil, and shut off heat. Toss in coffee, stir, and let
sit for 2 to 4 minutes. Strain using a nylon strainer with handle. Add
sugar to taste.

You will appreciate aromas and tastes you never have.

Drip machines et cetera are fine, but I hate the warmers they come with.
Coffee should not be kept warm for more than 5 minutes, otherwise it
develops strange aromas and tastes. Instant coffee is horrible. You
might as well chew on a caffeine pill if you want a fix.

HTH,
