Coffee?

[ClausThomsen]

It's astonishing how many coffee shops serve up a cup of hot brown liquid that is noticeably worse than a cup of Nescafe.

I drink loads at home, never had an issue with caffeine keeping me awake. Have a cup before bed most nights.

Only ever black unless a cortado from a decent place

Enjoy the occasional bombón as a treat,if I'd only know about them when I was a kid.

Australian coffee is the new gold standard — and not just for 'chin-stroking inner-urban Instagrammers'

From New York to Paris and Berlin, Australian-style coffee is taking hold. But how did a colonial outpost with tea-drinking British roots come to produce the best coffee in the world?

I love coffee, but anyone who pronounces latte as 'lartay' needs a good smack.

Big yes - just made myself a cappuccino, I have a Bialetti moka pot and an electric milk frother, as good as any coffee shop

I think the missus is getting me one for Christmas! Recommended then yeah? I've got the milk frother too..

made this gingerbread latte yesterday, surprised myself as it really was delicious - got some Lavazza beans also to tide me over the next few weeks. You cant beat fresh beans from a bean to cup machine, pods and stuff don't quite cut it - I had a Tassimo but since I got the Gaggia machine I think the Tassimo has been thrown out or something.

looks lovely!

Yes mate, have a little look on YouTube because there’s a knack to using them

Same here. Are we impervious to caffeine? I've often drifted off thinking about it.

My lifes changed since getting a Moka pot. Using that with Tropea/Illy coffee is just heaven.

It's common in Spain to round off meals with a carajillo (coffee with a shot of normally brandy or Baileys). When my folks are over my dad has them separate, a tradition that has now caught on with my mates, so much so that it's now named after him and restaurants are routinely ranked on the quality (which normally just means quantity). This is a particularly good one...

Sadly, we'll be having our Christmas coffees separately this year

Love a carajillo or two in the morningwhilst on holiday.

I grew up drinking coffee in Colombia. My grandma used to make café con leche (coffee with milk) when we were kids and gave it to all her grandkids when we visited her, then the family wondered why were acting crazy lol

Now days I just drink hot tea. I like the taste much better than coffee.

We must be pure of heart grafters mate.

A day's hard work behind you and a clear conscience are the key ingredients to a good nights sleep.

Neither of which apply to me but the point is taken.

The early kickstart for every day. Couldn't do without it.
