    1 heaped spoon of Gold Blend, 2 Sugar, 1/4 of a mug of milk, hot water, stir, drink.

    As exciting as that may sound.

    1 morphy richards coffee machine ( filter and expresso )

    Now - take some tesco finest coffee ( the 1 with the green text, or orange - cannot recall their names ) AND pass this through the filter coffee making part. Add to this some vanilla essence and stir ( keep tasting while adding to get the correct strength & flavour required )

    I then usually froth the milk using the steamer attachment on the side and pour this on top of the vanilla flavoured coffee and then swirl into the milk some caramel flavouring syrup that was bought from tesco as well.

    Simply drink and enjoy

    I'd like to thank starbucks for introducing me to this coffee as its the nicest thing since donner kebabs when ya drunk

    Buy big bags of San Francisco Bay coffee beans (columbian arabica) from Costco and it works out quite cheap. You can't beat that freshly ground smell, almost better than the taste.

    2 super heaped Nescafe Gold Blend, add just boiled water to burn the coffee granules, 2 sweetners, half a cup of milk...and Bob's your father's brother, rocket fuel. Lovely stuff. Makes you piss like a racehorse.

    In my very nice Expresso machine I've got a Gaggia expresso machine which is so nice! Well, okay my mother's from Italy so maybe it's not that strange!

    I've got a one cup - filter holder, used to use a plunger but too much hassle. So it's two teaspoons of ground fairtrade stuff into the filter, filter goes into a funnel type thing, onto the cup.

    Water just off boiling, as someine once told me this was correct, leave it to drip, little milk, no sugar.

    Failing that, instant, boiling water, milk no sugar. Again the instant is the cafedirect fairtrade stuff, but only becuase I'm a hippy.

    They told me I was gullible ... and I believed them.

    fgor the best coffee, you should grind your own beans, thats what I do. I buy them off the web at CoffeeSelect. Can't get any fresher.

    Sometimes I roast my own beans too, using the popcorn maker.

    Grind > Filter > pour > No milk no sugar > DRINK

    Very strange. If it is so sought after I cant Imagine why they dont just set up farms of those monkeys to process the beans. After all the monkeys presumably get nourishment form the unwanted pulp that they digest and they could take the place of the depulping machines

    After a google the taipan times states
    "Some of our guests said it was an aphrodisiac. It has a strong coffee smell, but different. There is a distinct odor and flavor," she said.
    I bet it does!!!
    and
    The beans are also marketed internationally. Several US-based Internet coffee traders claim to offer them for up to US$325 a kilogram, placing it among the world's most expensive beverages.

    I always drink Instant - but only Nescafe Gold Blend, coz its luverly!!

    I love perculated coffee, but no point having one at home coz I dont drink enough of it and if I had one at work I would be bouncing off of the walls all day coz I drink so much of the stuff!! Cant survive at work without coffee.....cant survive at home without a nice Cuppa!!

    LMFAO - Thought I was the only one that occasionally ate a few grains of instant coffee for that "instant" wakeup call in the mornings

    ...and to think, the girlfriend shouts the hell at me for doing it as well
