Coffee!
I have better, hot chocolate (made with real Belgium chocolate) for winter.
Chilled white chocolate port for summer.

Mick that does sound good.
When working at the servo of a night in winter I use to use the coffee machine to make a hot chocolate.
I can only imagine what a real one would taste like.

Is it possible to get a cup of coffee-flavored coffee anymore in this country?
What happened with coffee?
Did I miss a meeting?
They have every other flavor but coffee-flavored coffee. They have mochaccino, frappaccino, cappuccino, al pacino…
Coffee doesn’t need a menu, it needs a cup.

Sleep is a symptom of caffeine deprivation.

I’ll quit coffee. It won’t be easy drinking my Bailey’s straight, but I’ll get used to it. It’ll still be the best part of waking up.
-From the television show Will and Grace
Coffee falls into the stomach … ideas begin to move, things remembered arrive at full gallop … the shafts of wit start up like sharp-shooters, similies arise, the paper is covered with ink …

I never drink coffee at lunch. I find it keeps me awake for the afternoon.

A new generation of speech, coffee tastes and behavioural patterns is emerging with the advent of the Nespresso shops franchising in major shopping centres.
It is like the latte set have moved in with a new dress code and language.
My two sons are Nespresso persons and left Xmas requests for certain coffee "pods" for which SWMBO and myself attempted to purchase.
Firstly , you cannot get Nespresso pods anywhere else but a Nespresso shop.
Secondly , there are only a few Nespresso shops in SE Qld spaced within about 200km.
Thirdly , when you get there the shop is full of Gen Y types talking in café latin and you wait in lines like supermarket checkouts for about half an hour and you still don't know what you are really buying.
You can do tastings in a special area, but you need one of their staff to talk you through.
It goes on.....anyone experienced it?
So.....after Xmas I ask #2 son to make me a good strong coffee from his machine. The result?....meh....my plunger using Vittoria !00% aribica coffee grounds ****s all over it for taste.
Does anyone have and love a Nespresso coffee maker?

This thread is either:
1. A gratuitous 'post count' booster; or
2. A call for help from a coffee deprived individual, supported by like minded deprivees.
Either way, I'll go have a coffee and think about it:D:D:eek:.

With you there.
A mate has a Nespresso machine. Treats it as if it's something special. I particularly dislike the way the milk is frothed. I would prefer a flat white Moccona when offered a Nespresso.

One way to break the coffee adiction is to drink international roast caterer's blend.(those who have been in the Army years ago will understand why).Im a tea addict these days and my annual coffee is drunk black with a substantial amount of rum in it.

International Roast is the only coffee I drink. Two or three mugs a day.
White with one, thanks.
I dont think I have ever had coffee made from a machine.

My taste buds just went into hiding at the mention of International Roast.... yes I remember it:mad:
Same as you tea is my "hot" drink of choice these days.... but the occassional rum and coffee (around the 25th April) has always hit the mark

Just the mention of International Roast and my taste buds did the same thing one's testicles do when dunked in cold water. :p
The last place I worked at used to provide International Roast in the staff rest areas. Most people wouldn't drink it, even though it was free.
I like a good coffee. I limit myself to one per day so that it is a treat, and drink tea the rest of the time. We've got one of the Aldi capsule machines in our staff kitchen area, along with one of their milk frothing jugs. I find it makes quite a decent cup (we've found that Lavazza capsules fit, and are a little better than the Aldi ones).

Ditto, although I've been indulging myself and having two a day lately. :D
Having done basic barista training, (and the ex is a barista) life's too short to put up with **** coffee!

Aahhh. The good old Aldi capsule machines. Passable espresso and responsible for me overcoming my fear of drinking coffee at other people's places.

Anyone have experience with the Bialetti Moka Express, apparently been in continuous production since 1933 & most Italian homes have one. Great thing is it could be good for camping as it is stove top driven!:D

Taste?? whats that,
I'm an adict, not a connoisseur.
it's the caffine that is important.
The only reason I have sugar is to hide the taste......
