Coffee

[Paul]

When we used to visit my Granddad he'd always make Camp coffee with a couple of sweeteners in it, it was bloody vile

I just can't stand the taste of coffee. Shame as I love the smell of it wafting around. Just find it too bitter for my liking. It would have to have at least six sugars in it to make it bearable. Nothing against you coffee lovers, just a personal taste thing I guess.

It wasn't manly enough?

I thought camp coffee was made from dried mud...!

My Dad used to bang on about Camp coffee. It's made from chicory, isn't it? I seem to remember it was quite nice but it was a long time ago.

Camp was/is indeed vile.

 

[Espresso]

I always enjoy a nice espresso first thing. Always grind my own beans (ooh err). The problem with coffee is that it's really easy to make it badly, not just at home but quite a few cafes do a poor job as well.

A double espresso machiatto, made with fresh ground Ethiopian beans with a drop of honey in the cup before brewing

Latte if I'm out and go to a Costa/Starbucks (the former if I have any choice in the matter, Starbucks are wankers). Luxury Italian M&S coffee at home, unless I'm pushed for time in the morning and have to go somewhere, then instant stuff will have to do.

Despite having worked in a coffee shop for a year, I'm still not a massive fan :icon_lol:

When I helped open I would have a shot of espresso, but I can't say I enjoy coffee all that much! This is where I worked:

I'm intrigued by the 'girls girls girls' sign.

Vile stuff. Tis the devils urine I tell thee!

Is this thread about Carling now?

 

[lemonjelly]

I'd rather drink carling than coffee.
Honestly!

I know a couple who don't drink for various reasons and instead replace alcohol with tea and coffee. Whenever they're 'out of the town' they post updates from shiteholes such as Costa. My issue is this: If you choose something such as tea and coffee as your beverage of choice why not go and find some quality independent coffee shop with a great barista or even take some courses yourself rather than buy mass produced high street crap?

Safe option innit. Like using a Wetherspoons as your pub of choice.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

If I'm in the centre of Wolves I have little choice in the matter. I think there is one independent coffee shop, I have been there twice and both times the service was mince so fuck that noise. Costa is ok for what it is.

There is a small independent in Codsall that I use.

Not really. Wetherspoons do have their standard brews available, but they are supplemented by guest ales.
