FalconFN Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Tesco own brand French or Italian blend coffee is ok for day to day coffee but we also have hot java lava for the occasional strong cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phaedra1106 Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Hate the stuff with a vengeance However, my son has started drinking it and loves Hills Bros. White Chocolate & Caramel Cappuccino and Mocha Mint Cappuccino. Only problem is they don't sell it in the UK, last one's cost me £8 for a 1 pound tub off EBay. However, we're off to the US in December so he'll be filling his backpack with 24 tubs of the stuff! so that should keep him going for a while Edited July 31, 2014 by phaedra1106 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) I've had the cafetiers the stove top alloy espresso makers a bean to cup machine and had loads of coffees. Instants like the Azeera Milicano and rapor but the Nespresso pods beat them all hands down for me. The choice is superb from pure origin coffee to vanilla blends and stand your spoon up strong jet black rocket fuel coffee and everyone tastes fresh. The Delonghi Lattisima machine I bought makes some cracking lattes if you like milk in your coffee, I like mine black and strong. Well worth a try if you see them giving tasters out in shops. Jamaican blue mountain is far to weak for my tastes Figgy Edited July 31, 2014 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano 1 Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 I bought a tassimo nearly a year ago and that's all we use now, about £30 a week on coffee pods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sian Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Currently Taylor's Lazy Sunday, but like lots mentioned here so long as it's not instant coffee and I like my milk hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_R Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Taylors Hot Lava Java every morning, brewed in a cafetiere. Espresso made in a Moka when I have a bit more time. I bring home beans by Douwe Egberts when I work in Holland and a range of small producer's beans when I work in the USA. I certainly see the appeal in pods like Nespresso etc. but hate the price. I did use a Keurig in the USA that had third party refillable pods and that might be a route I try if I ever have the money to splash on that sort of thing, or indeed the counter space in the kitchen.

figgy Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Don't know why you say its one upmanship as what one like some others don't, we all have differing wants in a coffee and machine or no maker at all. Never thought of one being snobbier than another but that's just me and my tastes. And what has hard got to do with tastes in coffee strength. Money don't come into it, pods are as little as 29p so it's not breaking the bank to have a cup or two a day. Figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortune Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 How did you all get hooked up on random sorts of coffee? Most of the above I've never even heard of. Did you get given one by someone to try or did you all become coffee addicts by chance or what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get given one by someone to try or did you all become coffee addicts by chance or what. Tried quite a few working abroad and on holidays. But most of the ones I've tasted lately came in a selection discovery box of different Nespresso pods. Ordered the box to try them and see what we as a family like best to then order the most liked ones. Figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figgy Fine Coffee Club do Nespresso compatible capsules @ 19p(ish) bit thicker foil on the top but flavours are ok (I'm a Nespresso +1 btw!) My claim to poshest coffee is that the very nice gentelman who writes and looks after our software system at work also has a farm in Nicaragua and has grown a crop of coffee for the first time this year - so this year I have been lucky enough to have some first cropped beans which has been owner grown, harvested, roasted and ground, delivered by hand from Nicaragua to me! (The flavour is quite good as well - next years will probably be better I'm told!) Beat that for one-upmanship :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
