Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person in the world who hates coffee. Everyone says to come round for coffee, coffee shops are everywhere, even the smell makes me urge!



Sorry Nomad



Just feel a little left out sometimes.......

You are not alone, I can't stand the smell of coffee. Diet coke is much more enjoyable.

I never drink hot coffee. I'd much rather have tea or hot chocolate.

But I *do* love iced coffee. Really, really weak coffee with a good amount of milk.

My husband is easy -- he has coffee every morning but is content with whatever I buy in the grocery store. :-6

I drink loads of nescafe 3 in 1 (coffee, sugar, milk). Just add boiling water. A security officers best friend on a night shift :)

My God, Woppy, wouldn't you say that this is "coffee"?!!!!:confused:



A good coffee should be made with the "moka" machine..just look here..



and learn: coffee should be like a man. Hot, strong and sweet.

attachement did not work,







SEGAFREDO AND THE ESPRESSO

AN ITALIAN TRADITION

ESPRESSO AT HOME



With the espresso machine With the moka maker

COFFEE PROCESS





















Water level should never exceed valve.



Fill the filter completely without pressing the coffee down.

Place on a low flame; bringing slowly to the boil makes for a better coffee and avoids damage to the rubber ring.

Before pouring out from the moka coffee pot, stir slightly with a teaspoon so as to mix the denser coffee at the bottom with the thinner one at the top.

Never use detergents when washing out the Moka coffee pot. Only use water.



[LEFT]After having opened the coffee pack, to make an ideal storage pour into an air-tight container and keep in the refrigerator

I'm not a big coffee drinker but the one we like the best is the Wal Mart brand 100% arabica instant coffee....it's strong and tasty without that funky aftertaste that some coffees have. :-6

I really love espresso, though! :yh_drool

I think you have that just a LEETLE bit off, there, jefe... ;)



As a co-worker used to say: "I like my coffee like I like my women,

hot, BLOND, and sweet"...



(Erm, that is if I liked coffee, which I don't drink any more... just tea!!)

I am not the coffee drinker in the house..but Rick orders from Gevalia coffee often. One of his favorites is a blend called Royal Vintner. Usually just out in the winter time.

He usually buys whole bean, and grinds it as he needs it. He got a French Coffee Press...which makes just enough for a good sized mug for him.

Good Lord - is she talking of the Earl Grey's mixture?

(Eurgh, BTW).

One of those Bialetti things you put on the stove is the best way of making "real"

coffee, IMO... closely followed by making it in a jug. None of those other ways...
