[Misc] Coffee drinkers

[zefarelly]

I'm looking for a new cofffee machine, we're been existing with lavazza pods thing while house renovations were ongoing, but done now . . . Despite them being compostible it still feels wrong and its expensive.

I'm a 2 in the morning coffee drinker, water thereafter at work, sometimes tea at home

One thing I've found when grinding my own coffee beans is that a burr grinder gives a much better brew than a blade grinder

I drink instant at work and Nespresso at the weekends. prefer it black and strong but if I have more than 2 it makes me shit for the rest of the day.

As its cold at work I am drinking more coffee to keep warm and then constantly have a grumbly belly. I have to be careful not to fart as I am in danger of soiling myself.

Cant swap to tea as I need 3 sugars in that. tried flavoured teas - tasteless piss

So coffee it is and the constant threat of the squits.

Id better copyright that before Costa steals it.

This is our 2nd one from John Lewis.
A Dè Longhi, no more pods.

I always laugh at the amount of conned Caffeine drinkers I see blindly staggering to work with earpods in holding an outstretched coffee carton. It's like some badge of honour.. " Look at me ! I have coffee "

If anyone makes me coffee.

In my previous career, I worked third shift so drank a ton of coffee, mainly with just cream and no sugar. Since becoming a teacher, I rarely do though to tbh. More of a energy drink person now, one Red Bull each morning usually does me. I know their not the best for you, but really neither is coffee, but need some kind of energy to deal with these kids.

Absolutely amazed that the US ranks so low on that list. As for me l'm a Greek coffee addict, but next to impossible to find in this country outside a Greek restaurant, unless l make it myself.

Even then, to do so properly l need a brikki to make it in, and a very fiddly process it is too. I drink it gliko (very sweet). Strong stuff and l wouldn't want to drink too much of it..

The rest of the time l make do with an espresso, (not dissimilar), or americano. I don't take milk.

I drink a long black in the morning and espresso mid-morning. Always double shots. I grind my beans and pull my espresso shots.

Coffee (in moderation) has health benefits. I'm not sure the same can be said for RedBull!

Builders tea with plenty of sugar is my preferred morning beverage, can’t get excited about all the pretentious w@nkery that seems to go along with coffee.

Give me a 60/40 Assam/Ceylon blend perfectly steeped for precisely 4 minutes, 30 seconds, and I’m content.

It's gone cold by then

I do like an espresso martini

 

[Seagull58]

A mug of instant Nescafe Black Roast with soy milk in the morning. Sometimes another in the evening.

 

[jackanada]

Fire up the 6 cup Moka pot in the morning. Nuke a pint of milk. Mix. Drink a cup, poor rest into thermal cup and drink on way to work.
After that it's whatever comes my way until I get home and have a small cup with what's left from the missus firing up the 3 cup Moka pot shortly before the afternoon school run.

Usually get beans by the kilo through a contact and grind them with a hand grinder.

 

[StonehamPark]

1-2x a day, every day, between 8am - 11am.
Ground coffee beans with an aero press.

 

[jessiejames]

On average i have between 8 to 10 mugs a day, Americano with a little powdered milk.

 

[SeagullinExile]

I’m only a one cup espresso drinker a day before I leave for work but what are you lot. Some people I work with are obsessed with it…. I don’t mind the odd cappuccino either.

Shocking isn't it

I got my old Kitchen Aid coffe machine ( gaggia on the inside) for Xmas in 2005, by hook n crook it lived until 2020. It was £450 back then, which was a shit load of money but it was and remains a great basic machine ,. . . . Just a shame KA only make bling cloaked tat now.

every day for years I'd walk through town walking the dog thinking 'HA-HA' I've saved another £3 on you.
