Try Nescafe 'Altarica' or 'Douwe Egberts' is alsways a good cup,

For a morning kick, you'll want Taylor and Harrogate (mr preferred brand) 'Rocket Fuel'


If it was a female, i'd make passionate love to it, its that nice/good

Went round my mates house the other morning hungover and he put baileys in my coffee instead of milk and was well nice made me feel better, not sure if it was the coffee or the baileys though lol. Baileys is horrible on its own though.

Thats the one I like tbh. Worked with a fella who was well into his coffee, none of the jar stuff or the packets to pour into the filter. These were proper beans kept in the freezer. And yes he was wierd.

yep .. starbucks is not a nice coffee ...

can get lavazza in tesco or asda but the illy is much better, use around 7 grammes of ground beans to roughly 30 - 50 ml of water, if you want a longer drink other than an espresso then add hot water to the cup first and add the espresso base to the hot water to create a long black .. usually 7-8 fluid ounces if you want to goto 10 or 12 fluid ounces then need a double shot to be honest or you loose any flavour you started with..
biggest issue i see is people using the same ground beans to do a constant pour... this washes the grounds and creates a bitter nasty coffee ....

i use the nescafe in a black jar, think its alta rica.


i like making it with 3/4 a mug of semi skimmed milk, and steam it up on my machine then a large spoon of the alta rica and 1 sugar. very nice.

ive actually worked for the man who started costa coffee, his sons house is 1 of the main ones on my website.
they used to make all thier own coffees in a warehouse in south london then ship them out to all the shops.
unsurprisingly you get a great cup of coffe round thier house,
and they have jars of nescafe gold blend in the cupboard for when i make my own instants there. lol

Taylors is literally a stones throw from my house! I didn't know they did coffee, they're famed for their tea! I'm gonna look some of that out.

we have a filter machine for upstairs & one for downstairs, rarely use them now, we have a flavia machine & thats hard to beat, good choice of coffees, tea's, chocolate plus you can do cappuccino, mars mix etc...

for jar coffee, normally kenco rich roast, sometimes smooth.

If you have sugar in your coffee then these might be worth a go,just tip the sachet in a cup and add hot water
