a little diverse, coz many people choose tea,but i would like to know what coffee you drink and why and where i might be able to get some from heheh

 

anyway i am currently in love with maxwell house rich blend, theres a little story behind it, as you know i have been in and out of hospital,and many times i have been offered a tea or a coffee, so on the 1st occasion i chose coffee,after one sip i was totally hooked on the taste and the aroma,so i endavoured to find out what coffee the hospital used, so i snuck into the canteen and had a sniff round the cupboards and found a big tub of maxwell house,result, so when i got home i ordered myself a nice big tub  of the stuff, which i am still currently using it was about 16 pounds

I'm the Tea drinker in the house, the Missus Clint is partial to a coffee, which I tend to make.

She likes the Nescafe Azeera for everyday instant, or I got an Gaggia Classic Machine that I bought her one year, but unfortunately again I'm the only bugger that can use it properly. (yes, that old ploy) So I end up making the coffee for her.

@hippie yes i must admit those jars are pretty funky i find them useful for putting pickled onions in hehe, as for the coffee itself, i use to love it, i found it very sophisticated and pleasing to the pallette, but somewhere along the line i fancied a change and maxwell house seems to be pleasing me quite well :) but who knows i might return to the realms of douewe egberts one day :)

 

@Clint, yea mate cant go wrong with a brew, i usually end up getting the cheap and nasty tea bags like red label, but soon regret it lol, you cant beat a good yorkshire tea tea bag, or the ever famous pg tips :) i usually have a cup of tea when i od on coffee lol, i find it very nice and a welcome change, so it's all down to balance really

 

thanks for your replies fellas, keep em rolling in :D

My gaggia coffee machine has sat redundant for the best part of a year but descaled it at the weekend and started using it again. I realised how much i miss the taste of proper ground coffee cappuccino's and have been drinking that for the last few days. The big problem i find is that ground coffee come's in big sizes and is normally only fresh for a few weeks at most once you've opened it and even a small pack makes an unhealthy amount of coffee.

For instant i buy a brand of Arabica coffee from Lidl, not sure what it's called but costs about 2.50 a jar and is the best instant coffee i've tasted.

I'm also motivated to do it because instant coffee is fucking terrible. Absolute swill [emoji23]

 

I'm happy to spend a couple of minutes grinding (I use a Hario) and then another couple of minutes with my Aeropress for a decent mug.
