Are they any good? I know someone who had another of those pod-things and it tasted crap compared to normal filter coffee. I think it's the horrible powdered milk stuff they use.

People at work think I'm a 'coffee snob' because I refuse to drink any of the instant stuff from the kitchen, to which have to point out that it's not snobbery because instant coffee tastes like bile. Simple fact. Why do people refuse to see such a self-evident truth? I feel like I should accuse them of snobbery right back as they don't enjoy a nice warm mug of rat piss.

:lol: I'm the same at work. We have a machine that does tea but it tastes like plastic, strawberry floating horrid. We also have teabags but they are kept with the coffee beans, and this gives them coffee aftertaste which I don't like in tea.

I keep some Yorkshire, Jasmin and Pu'er on my desk 8-)

Does anyone else find that if you go for say half a day without tea you still start getting a headache? But as soon as you down a cup of well brewed tea it disappears? I do

However, at work, in one of our offices, they have the regular Nescafe instant, which is horriffic. It tastes like it's burnt or something. :?

I don't know how Nescafe manages to sell a damn thing, as it's one of the worst instant coffees going.


You should try the instant coffee Lidl sell. It's about £1.50 for 500g. I bought it just to see how bad it was more than anything.

It's bad.

This happens to me sometimes which tends to remind me that I drink far too much tea :fp:

I think it is because the lack of caffeine makes your blood vessels swell up.

I have to have a coffee free couple of days every month or so as I drink so much. I get to a point where my natural insomnia joins forces with the caffeine and I end up getting seriously strawberry floated over and sleeping becomes almost impossible.
I kind of wish I didn't enjoy coffee so much :x .

Not a drink (bit like coffee Oreos actually), but goes fantastic with a cuppa and is coffee based anyway. All store cupboard ingredients, so I make these at least once a week, and devour within the same day. :fp:

Coffee Kisses (makes about 20)

Biscuits
170g self raising flour
85g Butter
55g White sugar
1 Egg yolk
Espresso (small shot - judge for personal taste)

Icing
55g very soft butter
120g icing sugar
Drops of Vanilla essence or Espresso.

Oven 190/Gas 5.

Mix flour, butter and sugar into breadcrumb. Add egg and espresso and mix into a dough.

Make into small balls (teaspoon) and place onto baking sheet, leaving space as they will expand. Bake for 15minutes. Remove and cool.

Mix butter and icing into paste - adding flavour if you wish.

Put a dollop of cream onto half biscuits and glue the halves together. Dust with icing sugar if ya wanna.



:wub: :wub: :wub:

Yorkshire tea and nescafe, alternatively.

Making use of new teapot, a lot better than just brewing in the cup.
My house-mate insists on buying "Lancashire tea"- a company that only exists to oppose Yorkshire tea :fp: . Pathetic.

Saw my teapot on Eastenders the other day. Did a wee squeal of excitement in the office when I saw it.

My mum has given me a mini cafetiere (for one). What's the best coffee to use?

I'm talking brand and type (ground or otherwise)?

I bought the bog standard Tesco Italian ground coffee today. :shifty:
