I mix a spoonful of coffee with a fair bit of skimmed milk in the cup, then add boiling water...I dont take sugar and don't like it too strong.

Boiling water burns the coffee so you should always put the milk in first IMO, preferably the full fat blue top stuff or even better cream. mmmmm

All milk(soya)
I tried using soya milk before but it goes all weird Does heating it up ameliorate that problem?

Two teaspoons of coffee, 3/4 full of boiling water, 1/4 full of cold water. No milk, no sugar. Most people make it far too weak for my tastes!

Put finely ground coffee in a big mug, add hot water and stir vigorously. Add a touch of cold water and wait a few minutes for the grounds to settle. It works, no fuss.

Rarely drink instant, but if I do it's black. I put a bit of cold water in first, and make sure the water isnt boiling, else it burns the coffee and tastes rank.

One tsp coffee, 1/2 tsp sugar - tiny drop of milk so the granules don't burn, then 2/3 boiling water, then topped up with 1/3 milk. Weak and sweet mmm.
