Red Squirrel Jun 2013 1:25pm, 30 Jun 2013 9,700 posts	0 Red Squirrel Another cup of the Mexican bean imbibed and that's me done for the day coffee-wise. I can only have one strong cup in the week but often get away with 2 on weekend days. Off to the 2-day coffee roasters tomorrow to get some more beans.

Red Squirrel Jun 2013 2:03pm, 30 Jun 2013 9,703 posts	0 Red Squirrel I have coconut palm sugar too. I'm going to take it into work next week to have with my coffee. I use a Vietnamese coffee dripper which sits on my cup as no hob at work.

becca7 Jun 2013 4:40pm, 30 Jun 2013 5,034 posts	0 becca7 bean: posh instant, Kenco Millicano (which doesn't taste a lot different from ordinary instant) method: kettle milk: Kara Coconut sweetener: none. If I have anything it would be a bit of cinnamon. result: yum. I very much like proper coffee as well but can't usually be bothered to make it at home. Instant is like a different drink really.
Hanneke Jun 2013 4:40pm, 30 Jun 2013 61,747 posts	0 Hanneke Result: a punchy, warming drink that increased happiness levels and prepared the body for action Although I do admit that the process of opening the jar of beans, filling the grinder and the smell of freshly ground beans, followed by the smell of brewing coffee is actually better than the taste of it. The ritual of making enhances the experience 10 fold!

Love this one though), ground at home yesterday and popped into a tin to take camping with us Method: silver stove top espresso maker Milk: semi skimmed Sweetener: 1 white sugar cube Location: in a campsite in Berkshire Result: not as nice as my usual but infinitely better than instant.
