McRainy Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I think history will judge coffee machines in the same way it has teasmaids, soda streams, or having a row of optics in your living room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It tastes like air freshener.* I drink tea only when my brain has been fried to the point of nausea by the coffee freshly ground by my mahoosive delonghi coffee machine which takes up half my kitchen and cost about the same as my car. It's the most important thing in my life bar my children and dog(ish). *no idea what Assam tastes like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1of4 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Its got to be loose leaf tea, brewed for a minimum of four minutes. No rubbish tea bags full of floor sweepings and as for those abominations that come attached to a piece of string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who have those stupid little machines in their kitchen piss me off. Absolutely spectacularly spot on. So much so, that I'm willing to forgive your fondness for coconut. Temporarily.

Philistine! I can't function without proper coffee. Instant coffee is grim. Went through a phase of drinking so much freshly brewed coffee that when I got Campylobacter (and was effectively nil by mouth for 3 days) I got a raging headache to boot that no painkiller could put a dent in. After 3 days my GF had a hunch what it was and made me a coffee and lo and behold, I'd not got halfway through an espresso before the headache vanished. Clucking for coffee is a real thing folks!

I'm not against proper coffee, in fact I love it and drink loads, but it's a social going out thing. Doing at home is like having a bar in your house, it's completely missing the point. If I'm having coffee at home, I don't want to faff about just so I can pretend I'm in Italy; couple of spoons in a mug, milk, water, done. I'm not Gareth Hunt. Agree that caffeine is the worst legal drug to give up, much more so than nicotine or alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Loose leaf tea is the stuff that gets spilt on the floor again when they fill tea bags, then they sell it on to the people who scoff at tea bag drinkers whilst laughing. just saying.

I like the elderflower one with Tanqueray, Hendricks, GB or Seadog, but it's nice on its own. Also drink milk, fresh orange or apple juice, and occasionally ribena. Some of the Innocent smoothies are nice, but I tend to dilute them with milk. There's a berry one that makes a good milkshake. Tea has to be Assam, but Douwe Egberts instant does for coffee at home. People who have those stupid little machines in their kitchen piss me off. If I'm in a pub and not drinking I'll probably have a pint of soda water with plenty of ice and lemon. It's free, it's not full of sugar and it lasts longer than twelve seconds. Agree with all the comments about artificial sweeteners; completely horrible. I have a baby Gaggia coffee machine and have espresso every morning and evening made with proper Illy ground coffee. Its not stupid, it makes great coffee. I’ve had one for 20 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Coffee: Bean-to-cup machine at home with Lavazza coffee beans on timer for when I get up. Taylors coffee bags aren't bad, so have one of those when I get to work. Rest of the day I drink tea. Lots of tea. Tea: Yorkshire Gold teabags. Strong. No sugar & just a drop of milk Otherwise: Caffeine free Diet Coke & Water (but must be fridge-cold) Although I drink more tea than coffee, when I go anywhere with work or someone's house, I always ask for coffee because it's harder to get it wrong. I really can't stand milky tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
