In true English tradition, Nescafe instant    it is quick n easy and no coffee machine to wash up after = more time to play 
My ex wife (American) could never understand how we drink the stuff.

I'll have to agree with your ex on this one, most instant coffees are nasty! And for what it's worth, using the Melitta filter technique does not require anything more than a tea kettle to heat the water, the filter cone which I rarely wash, but just rinse after use, and a coffee mug, as I brew single cups at a time.

It is almost exactly as easy as using instant!!!

I do spend a little time cranking the grinder ever couple of days .... which I actually enjoy, making use of a fine century old manual machine.

Of couse you are quite right Sir, filter is much better.  My current wife (Belarusian) grinds the beans and takes her coffee the proper way and i do like your method of one cup at a time with a filter cone, maybe i will break the habbit of a lifetime and try making coffee this way. 

You guys are a bad influence on me, first you get me interested in external combustion engines and now proper coffee
