Coffee

[Rufini]

So sat here drinking my first coffee of many at work (emails are slow today...) I wonder what everyones favourite blend is?

I am a self confessed Starbuck addict and buy the Starbucks ground coffee and use a filter in the office. I bought the 2011 anniversary blend yesterday and it's amazing. A really good kick (not for people who like mild coffee!)

Sorry Ruth, I'm a tea girl :D |If I do make a coffee at home I use Illy but to be honest I can't be bothered with the machine.

Oh I love tea when I'm at home... I nearly always have a cuppa before bed!! (it calms me...)

But coffee, oh coffee. It is my elixir of life <3

Strong, strong espresso with loads of brown sugar. Or even better a machiato. And chocolate brownies or an almond croissant. As you can see I'm on a bit of a health kick! (Not.)

I am a coffe snob! I use Bei & Nanini in the cafe, if I was buying at the supermarket it would be Lavazza....like my Italian :)

Italian here too, grind my own and use in an espresso machine.

I need more of a kick than espresso can provide

Hubby Gareth's 50th Birthday pressie (just 2 weeks ago! :eek:) was an all singing, all dancing, no expense spared, DeLonghi Bean to cup coffee machine! OMG it's amazing. Espresso, cappuccino, macchiato, caffelatte or just hot frothy milk to make hot chocolate ....all at the touch of a button. It even makes coffee shop noises! I'm .......whoops! ......He's so pleased with it. You can even even choose the strength of coffee. I'm a standard strength girl but he's extra strong ....swoon!

We now need to experiment with different beans. Any recommendations gratefully received. :)

I use a Keurig kcup machine and Timothy's columbian decaf is my normal choice, but I love Green Mountain Coffee Vermont Blend.

Mmmm i miss proper Coffee sooo much. I have a total caffeine intolerance and end up with rubbishy decaff. It's not the same and never tastes as good :-((

I use a Dualit expresso machine with Lavazza coffee. All this coffee talk, I'll have to get up now and go make some!

I think for my next birthday I'm going to ask for a really good coffee machine for the house :D
