Coffee, black.

Axxuy recently talked about how he drinks coffee and asked his readers to do the same.
Growing up and watching Captain Janeway in Star Trek: Voyager, I really wanted to like coffee, too, but didn't. I thought it was bitter and harsh. Over time I grew to love it though. I learned that if you have good quality beans and know how to prepare it, the coffee is not bitter at all. Buy good quality coffee, people!
When I make coffee at home, like I do every morning, I drink it black. I buy good quality beans that I grind fresh. My method of brewing is pour over. I grew up that way and like that I don't need a big machine for it. Just a kettle, a filter holder and filters. I neither weigh my beans, nor my water. I don't care about that. I pour the coffee directly into a thermos and take it to work with me.
In the afternoon at work I fill the same thermos with instant coffee. I know I know, blasphemy. But instant coffee for me is a different drink. It's fine, I'm fine.
When I'm out I usually never have black coffee, because oftentimes it's not good or to my taste. So I most often get a latte macchiato, sometimes a cappuccino or café au lait. Never ever do I have iced coffee, cold brew, or ice coffee (ice cream with coffee). Coffee has to be hot and black, or, as a specialty, come with milk or milk foam, and no sugar. Yes, a person drinking instant coffee probably shouldn't be so picky, but I am. LOL
Sometimes I have an espresso, too. But I never make that one myself either.
Any coffee lovers among my readers? If so, I'd love to read how you make and drink your coffee (or have it made).
