ReturnoftheJuddi Jul 2013 2:06pm, 3 Jul 2013 2,179 posts	0 ReturnoftheJuddi Never been a barrister but I have been a barista at an independant and it was one of the best jobs I ever had. Then I went to work for Nero for a while and it lost all its magic. I go through tea/coffee phases and Im slap bang in the middle of a coffe phase so I have a nespresso in the morning and Ive been drinking these sainsburys.co.uk at work to avoid the instant stuff we have and Im really enjoying them. They areindividual filters, not teabags filled with coffee. Yum. Im gonna get one now.

Like a plastic coffee filter you put on top of a mug and poor boiling water over it so the fresh coffee percolates straight into your mug?
Southcoastpete Jul 2013 5:13pm, 3 Jul 2013 3,613 posts	0 Southcoastpete I have a cafetiere at home that I make my coffee in. I always take it black, though not sure what coffee it is at the moment. Might have been on from co op. If I have to have instant, then I'll take a little milk in it, but proper stuff has got to be black. No cow juice at all.
