DoogyRev Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 On my recent travels I was given a new coffee to try, I love my coffee and have tried many different verities, after this mornings brew (not tried it since my return as sleep has been a priority ) I felt compelled to post..... This by far is probably the best coffee I have had yet http://www.peets.com/shop/coffee_detail.asp?id=118&cid=1005 If you happen to come across a Peets Coffee store..... BUY, BUY, BUY So for those who like their caffeine... whats your favourite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flex Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I'm cutting down on that drug, down to one cup in the morning and everything else is caffeine free. If you need help quitting I'm willing to offer support. Favourite (and a bit chavy I guess) is a Starbuck mocha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Just Tea for me, and lots of it. Can't remember the last time I had a cup of coffee. I even take Tea bags (and Marmite) with me to The States, American tea is diabolical and they haven't got a clue how to make it.

Leeroy Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I got into Vietnamese coffee when I was over there last year. It can be really chocolatey but the taste is from the bean itself and not added afterwards. I've tried a few coffees here that claim to be 'chocolatey' but they just don't cut it! The Vietnamese use a 'phin' filter, here's a link http://www.trung-nguyen-online.com/abou ... filter.php It's quick and easy to use, in fact I use it every morning now.

narcotix Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I prefer Black Coffee .. the stronger the better! But I've had to reduce my intake as I was become used to it ... I now try and limit myself to one coffee in the morning and another just after lunchtime (unless I'm really struggling) ... I usually have a few (5-10) Green Teas throughout the day though ...

HaydnH Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 A *tiny* bit of steamed fluffy milk on top is quite nice - especially when you're drinking 10 cups on a night shift. I'd love to make coffee the *proper* way, but if you like steamed milk it's so much easier with a good machine, even just black is easier/quickr with a machine. BTW, Nespresso seem to have gone mental with their intensity scale of 1-10, there's a really nice 12 at the minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff-r Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I can't stand the 'coffee' they sell in places like Starbucks, it's the worst stuff I've ever tasted - bland, tasteless. I'm particular about my coffee, a percolator is the best way to make it then I just add some steamed skimmed milk, nothing bad for you about that the best coffee I think I've had is Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee.

You can make that steamed milk easily at home, I use a small cafetiere, pop some skimmed milk in, pop it in the microwave for a minute and just pump it, instant steamed milk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squee Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I've recently bought a second-hand Cuisinart coffee machine from a certain online auction site. A proper grind-and-brew machine and I love it. You can program it the night before so you get freshly ground coffee waiting for you when you get up which is a nice start to the day and the smell of the ground beans is also has a metal carafe so it stays warm well. I'm currently using CostCo's signature range Rwandan beans which are pretty nice and good value - about £15-ish for 3lbs worth. Will look out for that Peet's stuff when I'm next in the States S.
