I dabbled with some brown sugar this morning. It was a revelation. I may do it again one day.

I dabbled with some brown sugar once. Got my wrist slapped for it. I suppose building towers out of those poncy rough sugar lumps in a restaurant is a bit of a food hygiene issue.

Coffee: Lavazza qualita rossa, ready ground.
Method: cafetiere... which means, cmbined with the espresso ground coffee, there is a lot of fine coffee sludge at the bottom of my cup
Semi skimmed milk, boiled in the microwave, coffee poored into the boiling milk.
This is what we call: koffie verkeerd or: coffee the wrong way around, i.e. you put the coffee in the milk, not the milk in the coffee. Very similar to latte...
't is nice, I may have another, without milk

I think there may be a cup of coffee (Nescafe Gold Crema, unless we're back on the Douwe Egbert throat-ripper) going cold in reception. I'm tempted to get a little Nespresso machine for my room.

What The Actual Fleecy
Bean: Waitrose French (I don't mind the Italian but prefer the French, and I'm a creature of caffeine habit)
Grinder: Krups, I love this machine
Method: large espresso from my machine
Milk: semi skimmed, heated for 1.5 minutes in the microwave and the skin taken off
Sugar: 1 large lump of the posh brown French cubes from Waitrose
Receptacle: my stainless steel mug bought from M and S 15 years ago. Coffee tastes great out of it
Result: aaaaaaahhhhhhh! Perfect
I visited friends a while back and they made me a delicious coffee from a cafetiere. The only time I've enjoyed anything other than an espresso based coffee. I find cafetieres very fiddly to clean, but that experience has made me wonder if I should experiment more? What type of beans for a cafetiere?

Costa, better than the rest. Actually my favourite coffee ever was on Vancouver Island in Tofino, a bit too far away for pre work coffee
