Snap I've started recently, makes my days at work fly by!

I'm on Gold Blend, but thats all I've ever drunk (because it was on offer in the shop first time I bought any )

So filter coffee ain't very popular in the UK I take it?

Tastes much better, though.

Here's the La-Z-Arse solution:

If you like coffee, then knob that jar shit off!

Get one of these - much less aggro than the normal coffee machine things, and it make a cracking cup exactly to your taste!

Nescafe for me ... I was given some Star-Bucks Instant .. It was tidy ...

Problem with Perculated coffee is: The milk cools it down to much rarther than straight out of the kettle.

Use coffee cream or Coffee mate shite.

I like the kenco or nescafe variants that are along the lines of columbian...fuck i cant even think of the names. Basically each brand has 3 different coffee's. Kinda mild, medium and stronger.

The names will come to me but obvious when you see them in the shop.

edit, another is costa rican

there's another called alta rica.

I'm on about 15-20+ cups a day, and thats in a huge thermos cup.
Filter coffee I'm using is Starbucks house blend, top stuff.
Kettle coffee is Kenco columbian,only really have this first thing in the morning with 2 scoops of coffee. Acts like warm Red bull lol.

It goes away back to when I was 18,got first cossie, was sooo scared that somecunt was gonna steal it. 2 cars plus a van blocking it in the driveway and I still couldnt sleep,at that time coffee was my only option.
More addictive than superunleaded lol.

lol i think its nice. Im just waiting for the coffee machine to finish making my drink, got some strong stuff from sainsburys. Get one of those cafetier things or how ever you spell it, and get some decent ground stuff, doesnt really take much longer than making a normal coffee,.

my wife and i drink coffee properly way too much if im honest
we have tried pretty much all the jars, perf, instant and the grinding coffee beans melarky
but now we have the perfect solution (for us anyway)

https://www.dolce-gusto.co.uk/EN/Pag...usto-home.aspx

takes 1 minute to have a nice good qulity coffee, very nice when we have guests round but not cheap
if you want cheap then look away

i have 2 machines, 1 at work and 1 at home

only problem with it is that when we visit friends etc they dont have decent coffee anymore!!


everytime you buy a box of coffees (around Ł3.18 from tesco for 8 cups inc 8 milksin the same box) or 16cffees only if you have expresso you get a 16 digit code, log onto there site and add these codes to your account and in no tim eat all you will have enough pionts for free coffee boxs, latte glasses, coffee cups etc.

i love it and would buy another tomorrow if mine broke out of gurantee

ok .. as its my job (engineer/barrista/trainer) ....
i am an avid espresso drinker...
but....
nescafe alta rica mixed with gold blend works well ...
summit potent try rocket fuel (excelent drink)

for a home machine get a nespresso ..
https://secure1.nespresso.com/precom...ays=uk&lang=en

seriously if you love coffee this is a great system,, i hate pods with a passion BUT having been to switzerland on training on em i can say they are a damn fine coffee product....
got mine ...

https://secure1.nespresso.com/precom...0_1_uk_en.html

second hand on ebay for Ł30 only bargain i ever got
but the coffee is damn good and i can't say any of the high street retailers come close on an espresso ..

tried the other pod systems and really didnt like the coffee bases ...
this also allows you to use fresh milk to make cappo's and latte's

Gold Blend.

Use it in my Cappucino machine too.

It's perfect for me. Not too weak, not too bitter. Nice and smooth.

DE is good, you just need a proper coffee machine and you can make it as strong as you want with or without milk and or sugar

In the weekends it's every morning a good cup of DE and during the week it's PG tea
