Among the top complaints of other people's methods, making it too watery (27%) or too strong (25%).
14% are particular about the size of the mug it comes in, with some people seeming to prefer closer to a bucked than a regular sized mug.
The type of coffee used is also a bone of contention, with some people getting awfully offended if you use instant coffee over beans, as is the quantity of sugar and whether the brew is served too warm or too cold.
De'Longhi, which commissioned the research conducted by OnePoll also found 18 per cent would not trust their partner to make the morning coffee, while 16 per cent would be wary if their boss prepared it for them.
It's nothing personal, just coffee...
