Ok. bit of a random one.
someone at works just told me that last week he walked into the kitchen to see the cleaner re-filling the coffeee jar. but not by spoon/tipping the coffee from the box to the jar. but by sticking her hand in and pulling a handfull out and sticking it into the jar. now any of youse who work in engineering will know the cleaners look alot less like this; (http://static3.depositphotos.com/1004049/187/i/950/depositphotos_1875366-Sexy-maid.jpg)
and alot more like shrek with a bad hangover.
therefore tomorow im going to start bringing in my own coffee. but decided to get proper posh instead of all this instant sh!t .
so. what coffees do you drink/recomend cause the only time ive had proper stuff is in a restraunt :D
-
I drink mainly tea, but we got a dolce gusto coffee machine!
Could work out expencive tho at like £3.60 or so for like 10 pods! But I only really have a coffee on a sat morning!
-
I only drink caffeine before mid day - How gay am I!
But when I do it is Kenco Millicano, spelt something like that. It is the whole grain instant stuff. Just lovely. I bring in my own coffee also. You can get little boxes of 10 sachets for like £1, take a sachet or in 2 each day.
Job done. :smiley:
-
Yeah i only really drink a cup mid morning and a cup at about 4pm while at work so dont mind paying a few quid for a bag thats gonna last a week.
and have a 1cup cafetiere (or how ever its spelt) at home that someone bought me years ago so thought i might aswell use it :D
-
Nescafe Azera is nice. It's a barista instant coffee and has a rather smooth and creamy taste to it.

Milicano is not good IMO. I'd say get a percolator & grounds OR get a range of the small jars of Tesco finest. There's also iirc Carte Noir instant espresso, which is quite nice.

Buy a cafetiere (single serving one is best for portion control) and then buy any of the Taylor coffee depending on the strength that you like, they range from a 1 through to a 6. Personally I'm a 6 man 'lava java' is its name but 'lazy sunday' (3) is more than adequate for an given coffee drinker.

So for a single cafetiere...
One healthy table spoon of coffee in the cafetiere (3 in a normal sized one) and then pour in hot water and give it a quick stir and putting the lid on. DO NOT PLUNGE THE PLUNGER YET! allow around 5 min to pass, for something to do add milk and sugar as required into your cup. Waltz into the office with cup and coffee in hand, making everyone super jealous with the aroma of real coffee, plunge, pour, procrastinate.

Thats what I meant to say Sam,
For some reason my brain said percolator instead of cafetiere!
Reason: Haven't had a coffee yet!! lol
-
What utter bulls!t! Right mood for coffee! Boll*cks!
Nescafe Instant does me anything else just tastes funny!
Oh I bet you lot have never heard of Camp coffee. Comes in a bottle in liquid form, thats quite nice!
-
Plenty of nice coffee out there but to keep it simple at work, you can't beat Nescafe gold blend for instant.
-
Tea. Coffee is too yo-yo for me.
:smug:

I doubt there is anyone on this forum that hasn't heard of camp coffee Leonard and as for instant or nothing - your missing out on a vast and interesting market of hot drinks!
-
Oh I have done the whole gamut mate!
Perc/grinder etc. Tried loads and loads of different beans from this country and bought beans home from abroad.
IMO there is nothing that beats a good strong cup of Nescafe!

Not entirely on-topic, but a mate of mine posted this, this morning:

Which made I chuckle.
Don't drink coffee. Tea only. No kn0bs.

Douwe Egberts Gold for me at home (or PG tea), at work we have a posh coffee machine with all the bells and whistles but the boss buys cheap beans now days :sick: They used to get various Taylors blendss, lazy sunnday was too weak for me. I've started buying my own Nescafe Gold, muchos better.
-
Another vote for Douwe Egberts, alot nicer than nescafe anyway.
-
The bloody hoover isn't even plugged in! Send her to my office right away :whistle:
-
I got a philips senseo for christmas, filter coffee is sooo much nicer than all the instants...trouble is, I can't stand instant coffee now!...I'm a coffee snob!

Bonnie will be home in an hour and a half, get back to work!....
