I'm having some Zombie Cure from Coffee Bean direct with a scoop of Dunkin dark to give it a boost. I also agree with
W
Willowy
about getting an electric kettle. They get the water really hot really fast. Like 2 minutes fast. I love mine.
ETA: The problem could also be your coffee maker. I have this one and it's genius. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FFRZ26/?tag=thecatsite
What's genius about it? The reservoir in the back of it. It has a separate on/off switch. This means when it is on, the water in the reservoir is always HOT and full. Here's how it works. Say you want to make 4 cups of coffee. You put water in the decanter up to the 4 cup mark. Set up the basket with the filter and grounds and slide it into place. Add the water to the top of the machine like you would with most drip coffee makers, close the top and hit the main on switch. The machine will pull 4 cups of hot water from the reservoir and make the coffee with it. After the coffee is made the water you added replaces what was taken from the reservoir. I love it SO much. My DD is sharing an apartment with roommates. Once she's out on her own, I'm getting her one of these. They are not really for someone who only drinks coffee every now and then. For a house with multiple coffee drinkers or someone like M maggiedemi and me who drink it every day, it absolutely is. It's worth every cent IMO. Bunn is the brand of coffee maker that a lot of restaurants use. There's a reason why. They are great. I've had quite a few coffee makers in my life. As a matter of fact there are 2 other coffee makers in my kitchen that are sitting on a shelf because this one has stolen my coffee loving heart.

I use a stovetop kettle too because I like the pour over method. Since I'm the only coffee drinker in the house this works perfect for me. DH prefers tea so he uses the kettle as well.
