Coffee

[tup]

As he was pulling down MT's trousers and exposing his bare buttocks, poor MT gritting his teeth and hoping for the best, albeit this painful experience lessened by the permeation of a fine smell of fresh coffee.

 

Certainly beats the smell of stale man cheese

[Dandyesque]

Italian with milk.

 

Tesco's fairtrade caffetiere stuff does me fine.

 

Got some Java at the moment - maybe a touch too strong in taste, but a fair kick in the mornings

[StandFree1982]

Often in the headmaster's office were ye, MT...?

More like the headMASTER Bedroom!

Is it justifiable to pay a premium price for a coffee machine, or is a kettle and some fancy instant coffee good enough.

Bought a belter off eBay for my wife's birthday. Well, I think it's good, but I wouldn't know because I don't drink the stuff. You put beans in the top one side, water the other side and it makes coffee. Amazing. Also does something funny with milk. Oh, and they are expensive. About 600 notes for a decent one I think.

I'd say pay for the machine. If you're a coffee drinker, a really good cup of coffee is hard to beat.

 

And to answer the OP, quad venti skinny latte when im in Starbucks. At work or home, it's something fairly strong but not bitter, ground and dripped. With a big splash of cream (18% MF cream -- not milk).

[King Street Loon]

Coffee is bogging.

 

Hate the taste and the smell just assaults my nose.

 

Bleurgh!!

instant coffee is worth avoiding at all costs.

 

if you enjoy coffee at home then why not invest in something to give you the taste you desire. even a cafetiere is better than instant and they cost pennies.

 

i have a gaggia classic. gets used twice a day and three times on weekends. money well sopent for a nice brew.

[Bluto10]

I only drink coffee rarely, when abroad or very occasionally in a cafe or restaurant. Espresso is my only preference, double usually, plenty of sugar, no milk or cream. If Jimmy Quentin was making it however, and it wasn't the shit that Bonnie buys, I would have one of his. The wolf's reaction suggests that it would be worth it.

 

i always pictured you as more like zed or maynard.

[Sheep#1]

I like the smell of coffee, but hate the taste.

 

Give me a cup of builders tea any day, couldn't go through a day without 3 or 4 cups of tea.

[Stoney]

Its all coming out now, shopping in charity shops, stealing kitchen wear, buying furniture on ebay............

[Sheep#1]

i stole a big mug from starbucks years ago and i use this every day for my coffee

 

only problem is, i have maybe 5 cups a day and these are biiiig cups

 

whats the downside to too much caffeine?

 

this mixed with my caffeine tablets, seem to be resulting in my waking up with my eyes puffy as hell

 

as for coffee machines...anyone recommend any?

 

not sure what the side effects are, but I have shit loads of caffeine in a day, between cups of tea, supplements and cans of Monster in the gym. Done me no harm so far though

You're better of with water as opposed to a can of sugar

so you think.

 

cut that rubbish out and you will not only feel better but you'll also be a hell of a lot healthier.

what type of coffee do you want?

[Bluto10]

opportune

 

 

 

good shit

 

i like the idea of putting in whole beans and getting normal coffee out

 

dont think you get the same flavour from those all in one machines.

[chaos_defrost]

A normal black coffee, an espresso or a turkish coffee for me.

[Bluto10]

A normal black coffee, an espresso or a turkish bath for me.

 

[Top Cat]

Coffee is for the sophisticated and rugged man. For the man who's life demands he be sharp as a needle from the get-go in the morning. For the present days hunter-gatherers, if you will.

 

Coffee drinkers are out solving problems and saving mankind before non-coffee drinkers have even had a big stretch and a sleepy yawn.

 

Dinnae even get me started on those that drink decaff

[gla5gowdon]

I fucking love coffee.

 

I picked up a De'Longhi Icona for around

[Dynamo]

Coffee's decent. I like coffee.

And where can you regularly get Turkish Coffee from in Aberdeen ?

 

Without having to go to the Turkish restaurant Nargile.

 

I purchased Nescafe AZERA and Kenco Millicano instant the other day, with the Kenco being the better,

 

However, I am very much a novice at coffee variants and am going to show my total ignorance, Bluto mentioned cafetiere, do you just use instant coffee pour it in cafetiere and push the plunger type filter thingy ? or is there more science to it than that.

No idea where you get it in Aberdeen sorry!

[MincePie]

I hate the stuff, it's repulsive. Only drinkable with about 5 spoons of sugar, which sort of defeats the point. Same goes for tea, gads.

Amen.

 

H2O, juice, milk or lager for me.

Its ground coffee you use with a cafetiere, not the instant stuff. You'll notice a difference.

 

As for me, white with one. Drinking millicano at home at the mo, but like the nescafe alta rica stuff as well. Like the costa flat white, just doesnt come in a big enough cup for me.

[tommo1903]

A coffee in the morning sets you right up for the rest of the day.

 

I only usually have one a day.

EPK, thats the pluger gadget, that comes in a glass jar.

 

boiling water and ground, nae instant, coffee. wait 5 minutes. plunge it. drink. then spend 10 minutes cleaning the fucker.

 

its pretty quick stuff and a lot better than instant.

 

its filter coffee basically.

sugar free Monster obv! No worse than a diet drink & I feel the effects which help me train harder, outweigh any negatives (whatever they may be, but I'm sure someone will tell me!)

[360]

Tea is the only hot drink a self respecting geezer will touch with a barge pole. No sugar, either.

 

Coffee, hot chocolate, cappucino etc
