This!!!

We have three means of making coffee, a drip coffee maker, a Keurig, and a French press (plus French press mugs). The Keurig is OK but the French press and Fp mugs get used almost everyday because nothing beats the taste and they actually require only minimal effort.

We have the REI French press double-shot mugs and they are great for work:

REI Double Shot Press Mug at REI.com

Just grind up your favorite coffee (recommend a burr grinder, it's coarser than normal ground coffee), pop it in the mug and add hot water! The best part is the "secret" compartment on the bottom...now you have another shot off coffee to get you through that sleepy afternoon at the office!

We use these and they work perfectly.

Those are the ones we have, as well. $40 for 4 reusable cups, and we've had them almost a year now. They are used daily. My husband gets up earlier than I do, and likes coffee first thing. I hate coffee that's been sitting around, so the Keurig works perfectly for both of us.

$40 wow! I only pain $10 for 4. We've had ours for almost 2 years and they have held up perfectly.

I've used the very inexpensive Black and Decker one cup coffee maker with a brass filter and real coffee for about 20 years now. Every cup is fresh because every cup is the first cup. You can get them for about $25.00 give or take.

I've been using this one by Hamilton Beach Amazon.com: Hamilton Beach 49981 Single Serve Scoop Coffee Maker, Stainless Steel: Kitchen & Dining every day for just over a year now, and I absolutely love it. It's easy to use, easy to clean, and makes a good cup of coffee. I like that you use your own coffee in it and have the option of setting it to a regular or bold brew. Plus, it takes up very little counter space! I couldn't be happier with it!

If you want small amounts, you can buy a little plastic gizmo that sits on top of a cup. It holds a coffee filter. You place your Tablespoon of grounds in it and pour in a cup of hot water and it will give you one cup of fresh drip coffee. The little plastic thing is about $3.
I have one of those! I think I got it from Melitta. I always take it with me on beach vacation. I get up very early and like to take my cup of coffee to the beach to watch the sun come up. Instead of making the regular big pot, I make my little cup and when the rest of the vacationers wake up, they have the whole fresh pot. Highly recommend!

OMT: It's nice for those late evenings when you want a cup of decaf.
