We make ours one cup at a time with our Keurig coffee maker. My wife and I enjoy different brands. She likes the stuff that can dissolve stainless steel and can be cut with a pair of shears...straight black. I on the other hand prefer Green Mountain 100% Colombian dark roast with just a few drops of Coffee Mate sugar-free Hazelnut creamer (diabetic). I didn't start drinking coffee until about a year ago (loved the aroma but not the bitter taste). That's when we found Newman's Own by Green Mountain...now I've graduated to 100% Colombian and don't start the day without at least two cups. My wife can drink her Folgers Black Silk all day long and again just before bed and still sleep like a baby. If I tried that I'd be running laps around the house until the sun came up.
I'll drink it any of 3 ways after I roast and freshly grind my own beans (most often from Ethopia, but I also like Jamaican Blue Mountain and Kenyan as well and a few select others I buy on occasion):
1) French Press w a 5 min steep
2) Cold brewing with a Toddy
3) Espresso (rarely) or a cappucino from my Nespresso
I think my favorite is the cold brewing due to the reduced acidity and you just add water to the concentrate when you're making a cup.

Yeah I'm a truck driver and it has ruined the stimulant effect of coffee for me. I just drink it for the taste now.
I vary on creamers and sugar(or sweet'n'low actually). Sometimes I so, sometimes not. Usually if I do, it's just enough milk to cloud it and a sweetener packet or two. I'll have something good like Caribou black, though.

Keurig single cup maker. Takes the pods. I can make coffee, tea, hot chocolate (for the kiddo), capacinno (wifey). It makes it a little strong with the pods. I have an adapter I bought where I can just add any type of ground coffee. Saves a lot of money not buying the pods, plus they don't have the ReAl kona coffee i like anyways.
Drip pot at work. Little bit of sweetener ( splenda) . I to am a trucker but I only drink it in cold weather. I'm outside about 30 min at a time 6 -10 times a night loading and delivering gas. I can drink 96 oz some nights!

Indoors: Electric drip with any high octane beans that have been finely ground ... so fine they're powdered ... so fine that if I spill any on the counter I can snort it up.
Outdoors: Boiling water and Folger Instant Coffee (the single serving sleeve style) ... two sleeves with a packet of hot chocolate and voilà camp mocha … just don’t burn the water … nasty after taste.

Is like to buy or build one of those cold drip tea things. Don't know if you can do coffee in it too?
Electric drip at home, percolator on a single burner propane stove when camping. Black. I like mine strong, but DoggyMama not so much. Since I've usually had a pot or more by the time she gets up, she usually just has me run water through my leftover grounds. 
I learned to drink coffee out of a vending machine back in the late 70's before you could get halfway decent stuff out of machines. It was pretty horrible, but I forced myself to acquire a taste for it. After trying various combinations of sugar and "creamer" (or whatever passed for creamer in those machines), I decided that nothing was going to help the flavor. When I graduated to real brewed coffee it tasted great by comparison!

I've never really been anything but a morning coffee drinker (unless I would get called in to work in the middle of the night), but not because of losing any sleep. Heck, sometimes I've over-caffeinated myself to the point where I just want to go back to sleep. Weird!
ADC machine, a Cuisinart specifically. I like it black and fairly strong. I did the French press several years ago for a short time. I do fix some espresso occasionally. I have a stand alone cappuccino machine and the stove top Italian espresso maker, which I now prefer.

Percolator 90% of the time. To me it's got a richer flavor than my drip machine. The drip is great when time is short. Black and thick. Semper Fi habits

Only coffee I make is for my wife, using the Keurig. Just never got into the stuff myself.
Folgers Half-Caf. Regular coffee maker. 20 oz at a time. Extra Half & Half, no sugar. Speedway's House Blend (tastes really good!), mixed half regular and half decaf, with extra Half & Half when I'm out. Usually drink more in cold weather than in summertime.
Also buy Dunkin Donuts coffee, Original Blend and Decaf, one pound each, mix together in large container and make/serve as above. This I use as a special treat during the day sometimes. Luv my DD Coffee! YUM-EEE!
