Re: Coffee.

Nowadays I have just Mellow Birds instant. I could drink gallons of it, semi skimmed milk, no sugar.

Re: Coffee.

I usually have one at about 6:00am everyday, as that is the time that the chi’s insist that the day starts!
And I sometimes have one last thing at night. Caffeine doesn’t seem to affect me and I have absolutely no trouble sleeping.

Re: Coffee.

Lidl's ground coffees for cafetieres are very nice and reasonably priced.
Nice with soya milk. The grounds are good for the garden, deters slugs.

Re: Coffee.

For many many years I enjoyed a few cups of gold blend every day, but gone off it in my old age and can only drink the real thing.

We have 3 or 4 plungers of different sizes at home, and use this from Lidl ....

Re: Coffee.

Second hand coffee, as all instant coffee is.

Your coffee is mixed with water to make coffee sludge then sprayed through fine nozzles into hot air to dry it again into the granules that you buy. Or it's freeze dried.

Either way what you have is second hand coffee, granules that have already been made into a coffee "drink" and then dried again.

Re: Coffee.

I find all the instant coffees completely bland and virtually tasteless, even the granules. I much prefer proper coffee but I'm usually too idle to make it. The slop some coffee outlets sell is just boiling hot, beige milk. Continental visitors must despair.

Re: Coffee.

If I prefer this to granules, isn’t that all that matters?

Re: Coffee.

I like Nescafe, always have.

Re: Coffee.

You can only do what feels right according to your current understanding and life priorities.
