The Feldgrind by Made by Knock was recently recommended to me by someone at my amazing local coffee & doughnut shop. Haven’t bought or tried it yet, but I like that it’s portable so I could take it when travelling.
You could consider joining and buying coffee from Revolver, a UK co-op importer

Thanks for the link, they look great! I’m going to have a more in-depth look tomorrow. 
I don’t have a coffee machine, but I recently got “Bean Bags” from Raw Bean: Proper Coffee- ie coffee in a tea bag and it actually tastes great! It came in a monthly snack subscription box, degustabox.com
Wasn’t expecting much but it tastes so much better than the burnt taste I always grab at convenient coffee places 
I’m taking it with me to Amsterdam, used to make do with instant coffee but this is much better

Recently managed to melt my AeroPress, so bought a coffee siphon to try. Whilst the instructions are a bit challenging to comprehend, it makes surprisingly good coffee and it’s pretty cool to watch the pressure difference make the water travel between the two beakers!

Instructions, in Engrish below. Not sure why there’s a Lieutenant General involved.

Let’s talk coffee! What do you drink? How often?
I use this Tassimo machine with several types of pods including ones from Costa, Kenco, L’Or and others. This is a step up from the instant coffee that I used to drink, but I expect probably anathema to coffee “purists”. Convenience wins the day for me, so this is perfect for me

I love all coffee, percolator, filter (drip), Nespresso™, cafetiere, or Turkish, etc. With milk or cream or black or Irish 
I drink coffee all day long and need it to relax and to help me sleep. Just the other day I went to the local pub and had six large double expressos (much to the shock of the Italian gentleman in the bar). I also love Hopjees coffee flavour sweets from the Nederlands, coffee cake, coffee flavour chocolate, basically I just live for the stuff

I have a bean to cup machine made by Krups
Love it to bits and always look forward to that first cup of coffee when I come home from being away
Very interesting trying out various coffee bean varieties in the UK 
Best cup came from coffee beans that I brought back from Germany

I dont drink coffee… 
only tea… but I have to say… I LOVE that cup! So see through 
We’ve got a Tassimo at work, and I have to say it’s rather good. Very much not purist, but convenient and tastes decent.

I’ve just been offered coffee cake with chocolate.
I was asked if I wanted a freshly baked coffee cake today whilst reading this thread 
So coffee and coffee cake for me

We have a Tassimo machine in the office at work… it’s not awful if you want something quick. Not a fan of all the packaging required for small amounts of coffee though. I know there’s a recycling scheme of sorts but it still feels better to buy the beans and work from there.

Went to a different pub today and they have a new coffee machine so they have free refills this weekend only. Been here hours Getting my buzz on.
So I’d consider myself a bit of a coffee snob so to speak.
Probably comes from my time working in an independent coffee shop.
There’s four places I get my coffee from
Cielo (place I used to work) http://www.cielouk.com
Darkwoods www.darkwoodscoffee.co.uk
North star www.northstarroast.com
And finally for convenience pact coffee www.pactcoffee.com (ps use this for some money off http://www.pactcoffee.com/sign-up?voucher=JOSHUA-GG1YRG)

I love coffee… I’ve increasingly become a pretentious coffee hipster and “normal” coffees are now beneath me

My biggest grumble about coffee is not having enough of it. While in most places they do larger sizes of cappuccino and latte, they normally only do flat white in a regular size and espressos in dolls house size cups…I’d like mine in a big mug please

Yes I’d like a mug of flat white, but by design they are meant to be short drinks. Must be something to do with H&S

I use Pact coffee (ground for a cafetière) at work too, it’s convenient and their coffee is good. Pretty slick system for managing your order(s), too. (If anyone needs another referral code, send me a direct message).
At home (which covers more of my coffee drinking than work), I often use Artisan Roast, a local coffee roaster here in Edinburgh. Also sometimes Steampunk Coffee, and sometimes various other ‘hipster’ roasters beans from around the UK or Europe that are available in shops and cafes here. Always buy beans and grind them with a second-hand Italian hand grinder before drinking. Switch between a cafetière and stovetop percolator.
When out for coffee, Artisan Roast, Filament Coffee, Cult Espresso, Peter’s Yard, and Baba Budan are all excellent. The last one makes amazing doughnuts too.
There are a lot of great cafes here with excellent coffee, so can’t list them all. Any coffee lover living or visiting here owes it to themselves to download the free Scotland Coffee Lovers app. This is an incredibly useful resource, even for the local in an unfamiliar part of town.
I generally have the equivalent of 2-4 mugs of coffee a day, but really don’t like drinking coffee out of large mugs, so have it as several small mugs (insulated cafetière is great for this). I’m the opposite when drinking tea – love a large mug then!

I generally drink coffee on the go when travelling since it is usually the cheapest thing you can get to sit down somewhere. I also buy it to sit in cute coffee places and cafés for the “aesthetic” (I need a good pic for Instagram!) though I often get chai, matcha, or flat whites. Cappuccinos and mochas are alright. Caffeine doesn’t give me energy so this meme is 100% accurate for me:

Reviving this thread to ask for recommendations on a fast simple way of brewing coffee in the office without a kettle just a boiling water tap. French press my best bet? I would ideally want something less messy.
