Red Squirrel Oct 2021 6:12pm, 7 Oct 2021 22,024 posts	0 Red Squirrel I had a coffee out with a friend. A piccolo at Spicer & Cole on Gloucester Road. Proper size. Proper wee and strong. The same coffee at Boston Tea Party is now too big and weak.

Red Squirrel Oct 2021 11:27am, 20 Oct 2021 22,073 posts	0 Red Squirrel Well, I'm happy with the Guatemalan. It:s rich with a tiny bit of acidity and it's fine. I'm using Rude Health hazelnut milk. Mild lactose intolerance runs in my family, so I've never got cow:s milk at home.

Old Mum Oct 2021 1:32pm, 20 Oct 2021 7 posts	0 Old Mum I had a lovely cup off coffee to warm me up after a bit of gardening. Nice Brazilian bean, freshly ground, nicely brewed, hugged like an old friend. Until the feckin dogs drank it for me when I answered the phone.
