Maybe I like the misery.

Got a new fangled tea/coffee machine yoke at work ..you fill it with cartridges and press the button while it dribbles hot liquids at an agonizingly slow pace into a cup, weirdly testing teas,lates,espressos,americanos and other expensive priced concatenations into the cup.
I prefer the misery give me a kettle boiling and a jar of good instant and I am sorted.
Coffee like it?much?

Those machines are mostly expensive gimmicks. Gimme some ground coffee & a cafetiere or aeropress. Far simpler & generally better coffee.

I don't know be careful what you wish for my old work place bought in large tins of the Maxell House instant coffee powder. Dried rat poo. Do yourself a favour and bring your own coffee to work.

Maxwell house and dodgy fries hardens you up. We go to the same caff every morning for breakfast - it gives the newbies the trots every time, without fail as the food is resoundingly shyte. After a few weeks, your guts harden up and you become immune. This is the key to a long and productive life as you become like a cock-roach. Anything else is a breeze for your immune system from then on. And fancy coffee is for cissies..

Unless there's whiskey or baileys in the coffee no thanks

Sorry, Mrs Doyle only does TEA.

Buying a little electric grinder for €30 was a great purchase, buzz the beans in the morning, pop it into a moka pot, it steams away whilst I quickly shower, and I have spanking hot, fresh coffee.

There's something about the smell of freshly ground beans.

Those who say there's no difference between that and Instant must have sandpaper for a palate. And a fondness for the squits.

Nah, here's a little trick I learned when I had nothing to do as a teen (apart from arse about on a Commodore 64 that is).

Put a spoon of instant coffee in a cup / mug (along with at least a teaspoon of sugar).

Now add enough milk to make a paste .

When it's the consistency of something paste like, beat the fcuker with a teaspoon for at least ten minutes (ten hours if you have the time).

Add boiling water and hey presto: homemade cappuccino, 80's recession style.

Now your talking..................and I'm not thinking coffee......


Having a coffee machine in 2014 is like buying a spare apartment to rent out in 2007........
