Afternoon all!
How are we today?
Ok a few things I missed and had to deal with.....Girl I work was having coffee and put the instant coffee, sugar and milk in, stirred it while the kettle was boiling and then added hot water - so I decided to give it a bash and imo it makes the instant coffee so much nicer - seems more like a creamy beverage now rather than diesel-esque
you only found out about this now?! Where have you been - this is HOW you take instant coffee - you let the flavours mix themselves so you can get a more rounded fuller flavour! pffff coffee newb!!
now get rid of the milk and sugar and actually TASTE the coffee instead of masking it!
I keep a jar of ground coffee in my desk drawer and a small cafetiere on my desk. That cafetiere is one of the best tenners I have ever spent!
Smart move! I do the same (but a big french press as 2 of us are coffee snobs here in work :pac: ) anyone ever tried those nespresso capsule things? they are horrible - not real coffee at all!
My next step is to get a coffee grinder to make sure the coffee is 100% fresh for every cup! (as soon asa you grind it - it starts to lose it's flavour - that's the smell (the more you know!!)0 -

Ok you are forgiven
Honestly don't like them - well the nespresso one we have in work just has a really weird taste - even the strongests ones (i like my coffee strong) just leave a bad after taste! you cannae beat french press when you are in work!A man that can make a good coffee is a man worth keeping.
QFT!!

Was playing foozeball in The Bróg last Friday night actually - against Germans so we got hockeyed but met a Sweedish lady in the process and probably meeting up with her tonight for a drink.
Heading home for the weekend - my Dads retiring at the end of the month and his staff party is this Friday so it's kind of his send off so heading down to itOk you are forgiven
Damn Straight!Honestly don't like them - well the nespresso one we have in work just has a really weird taste - even the strongests ones (i like my coffee strong) just leave a bad after taste! you cannae beat french press when you are in work!
I love this one now I must say - nespresso at my old place of work wasn't even close to being as nice imo....that said each to their own - I used to have a peculator but the difference is phenomenal it has to be said 0 -

I'll post up later our resolution to this in our houseCastorTroy wrote: »Tea drinker here as well. Have been complimented a few times on my tea making.
The key is to only make tea for other people at a time they would most appreciate it. :P Coming in from freezing cold weather or heavy rain. Coming back from a weekend at a music festival.
You'll appreciate it I think0 -

You are in no position to judgeAh jaysus lad, c'mon now... :pac:
D'Agger O'Connails praline, half milk, half white hot chocolate is amazing, it's the best, smoothest and yet not too filling hot chocolate I've ever tasted. Damn now I want one.
I'm over travelling, can someone invent a faster way?? Please?0 -
Why would you need a steamer for hot chocolate?I want to get a steamer for making hot chocolates, mochas etc.

I only like caffé mocha if the hot chocolate is really good quality. A lot of hot chocolates are either too thin or too sweet for my taste, and it ruins the balance with the espresso. A waste of good espresso 0 -
Evening all. Been caught up with student selections for the last 2 days. It involves checking applications versus a spreadsheet. This country needs something like the CAO to do this stuff for the University! Just corrected a final that another lecturer and I set. 2 passes out of 11 students with the highest mark 48%. Hmmmm maybe the exam was too hard 0

Basically that's what I'd use it for but it'd also be to offer mates mochas and látes which would be a nice touch....even if unnecessaryI'd say alot of it is due to the fact you are over there mate and the silly season is around the corner,tough being away I'm sure.
plusabillion! Glad to hear you got cheered up Pgrames_bond wrote: »Morning all!!
