    Whatever you get make sure it does 2 cups of coffee. This is important for two reasons:
    1) Deadlines, when one cup aint enough caffeine
    2) When you've asked someone back to your room for a cup of coffee

    OP is a student living in halls – if he gets a drunken teenager back to his for "coffee" the last thing he needs is actual coffee!! 🙂

    I know, but (s)he might want a cup in the morning before lectures 😉

    If you buy a stove-top make sure you don't get one with the white rubbery seals, get one with the semi-transparent silicone seals. The first sort tend to get a dent after about 10 cups and never seal properly again, the silicone ones seem to last forever.

    I'm loving some of the insinuations for getting a 2 cup maker. I'll be living with my gf in a studio flat on campus, so if I do bring any teenager back with me, she'll get met with a big slap! 👿

    I'm leaning towards a stove top I think. Nice proper strong coffee is what I'm after, and it seems to fit the bill. Thanks STW!

    I’ve recently been told about cold coffee making, pour cold water over grind, stick in the fridge overnight, heat up next day and enjoy. Any truth in it?

    Anyone for a nice cup of tea 😆
    turn on kettle, place decent tea bag in cup, pour water over, steep for a minute and add milk / sugar as desired.
    Unless you’re Japanese when it may take a little longer and require a Geisha.

    At what point does the desire for a decent cup of coffee become an obsession / poncy?

    hairy – It’s true, but why bother? Cold water will get the flavour form the beans, but it will take longer. Why not just just hot water?

    Or it is spam for the website linked to in the post. 🙄
