coffee

I was doin a job at my sisters today and when I finished she asked if I wanted a brew so i said yeah I'll have a coffee, So she put the kettle on and pulls the jar out of the cupboards, Its Asda's own coffee so I said, No I've changed my mind I'll have tea, Her husband says yea good idea that coffee is shite, I said I agree why do you buy it, My sister says, nescafe's gone too dear now, I said, yea it has but watch the price because some weeks its £8 a jar and every once in a while they put it out at £5 a jar, So we buy 2 then, That Asda coffee is chicary and I'll do bawt before drinking that,,

I have a coffee machine

Hello George Clooney very nice what you need is

a beer machine

I love coffee - but it has to be GOOD coffee.

My favourite it Farrers from Kendal. Strong but not bitter. A close second is Atkinson's from Lancaster.

Sorry to say I hate coffee with a passion. Years ago, I used have a couple of cups at work, and I wondered why I got stomach ache after I'd drunk it. It was Nescafe.

The only one I'll have a few sips of, perhaps every couple of years, is that Dow Egbert's, which I find just about passable, and I've started to buy boxes of Cappuccino from Lidl, which I'll have a cup of about once a week, if that.

A good strong cup of tea for me.

Over in Canada, tim hortons is the coffee to have, they have a big chain of , drive ins and coffee shops, Its cheap and good, Canadians are like Americans, too lazy to make their own, they drive out to a drive in and put it in the large cup holders that ALL American and Canadians cars have fitted by law and, If the cup holder breaks, they won't driver the car

Mollie I like a coffee at 10 am for some reason but, most of the time, tea is my favourite,

I have a coffee 1st thing in the morning then its def tea for the rest of the day I picked a jar of coffee up last week and noticed they still sell "camp" coffee with chicory yuck

I just looked up the ingredients of Nescafe, and it contains 70% blends of coffee and 30% chicory. Yuk. Perhaps that's what gave me stomach ache, but I can't be sure.

Mollie m Nescafe original coffee is 100% coffee (I googled it) and looked on the jar of coffee we have

Peter on my jar its messleading, It says 100% responsibly sourced coffee,
I think that means they don't used slaves or dole wallers to pick the beans,

I can't find an ingredients label

NESCAFÉ Original Instant Coffee does not contain chicory. It is made from expertly roasted coffee beans and offers an unmistakable, full-flavored taste.

Mollie I think you are referring to Nescafe Sunrise that is produced in India. It is a blend of 70%/30%

I like a good cup of tea, and I prefer to broo it in a teapot, rather than a cup, but a while back I broke me teapot, and I have never got round to replacing it

Tom the ingredients are on the label 100% coffee

Okay guys, I stand corrected about the chicory, but something in Nescafe gave me stomach ache.

Edit - First Mate:

Yes, it was Nescafe Sunrise. Sorry about that.

Mollie

Coffee can give yoo tummy ache LINK

Thanks, Tommy. I knew I wasn't imagining things.

I am a naughty boy because my 1st drink of the day is a cup of coffee Maybe I should stop drinking it or buy De caffeinated. I have been told by the nurse to drink De caffeinated tea which is twice has expensive as normal tea as part of my diabetic regime. I suppose every little bit helps

I need a teapot

Use the same bag, quickly brewed about 30 seconds discard and brew second time then drink. Voila decaffeinated tea.

I need a teapot

you are a teapot

I will need a tea cozy too

Personally Tommy, I don't like tea from a teapot, The tea is ' stewed' , The secret to a good cup o tea is.
Water must be boiling
tea bag in cup and the boiling water poured on the bag, Mash the tea until its dark ruby and add milk to an American tan colour, Drink while hot,

ready mixed sachets,
Coffee with whitener, rubbish
Coffee with whitener and sugar rubbish

Toms customed ready Mix,,,,, Coffee with Whitener ,sugar and broken biscuits like when you dunk and the biscuit falls in,,,,,,,acceptable

Tom

I like a very strong cup of tea, so I like it 'stewed' I don't have milk in it, but I like a bit of coffee whitener in it

Each to his own Tommy Tea. are you one of those that like the tea cup with heavy stained tea marks ?
I might have told this story before, my first job at 16 was in a butchers shop and being the 'lad' My job was washing up, The Boss butcher did't come in everyday and one of the days he was out, I was told to wash the cups up, The Bosses cup was in his office and it was heavily stained with tea and I cleaned it so well it looked like a new cup and I thought the boss would be pleased But, He went ballistic,, He was fuming because I'd cleaned his cup..

Who remembers Camp coffee? For me it’s Earl Grey tea nothing added no tea bags made with leaves.

My brother and niece both have tea cups with a thick coating of tanning and they would have it no other way

Linma

I remember when everyone used tea leaves, and you had to leave the last half inch in the cup, and throw it away, or else you ended up with a gob full of tea leaves, but if yoo were posh, you would have a tea strainer to catch the tea leaves, but even after using one of those I found that there were still tea leaves in the bottom of the cup.

Tom

I remember the tea stained cups, and they were caused by tannins in the tea and folk thought that in a tea stained cup, the tea tasted better, and washing up liquids would not shift a bad tea stain, in our house me mum had false teeth, and so one day me and me brother took to putting steradent tablet in the cups, which shifted the stains, but as time went on, washing up liquids improved, so that they dissolved the tea stains, so you don't really see them these days.

I once tried that decapitated coffee to see if it made a difference and wouldn't give me bally warch, but it was just the same.

I am guilty of having a tea-stained cup, but every now and again I'll put diluted bleach in water in it and use another cup until it's clean again, then I boil it out to make sure there's no bleach residue left.

I make my tea like Tom does, but with not quite as much milk, and I do have three sugars in it as well. One person at work drinks only coffee, but it has to be made half milk and half water, which sounds horrible to me.

Many years ago, my husband's WO2 drank eight cups of coffee a day, with TWO spoons of coffee in each cup. One day he was found at his desk quivering and shaking so had to be taken to the nearest BMH (British Military Hospital) where he was diagnosed as suffering from an over-dose of caffeine. Seriously.

“More tea, Vicar”?

Testing (again!)

Very, very, strange!

you never see anyone today drinking those, pint mugs of tea, My dad used to have one and, He always drank the full pint over about 1/2 an hour, It had to be ' real tea' , PG tips , not tea bags , done in a teapot so he could have a top up, with one and a half teaspoons of sugar, I know this because, I was his unpaid tea lad, We had a strainer to catch the leaves and the rule then was,One teaspoon full for every cup then one extra for the pot , So my dads teapot was a six cupper so, I used to put 7 teaspoons of PG tips and fill the pot with boiling water, stir and fit tea cozy, let it brew for 10 mins and then pour,
I never drank it, I'd drink corpy pop or milk if we had any,

Tomplum dared me !

But it won’t get through.
Probably due to it containing the A word, B word, C word, D word, M word, N word and Z word.
And the pilot was white. Probably !

Roobarb

One of our nephews called round and I asked him did he want a brew. He said he would have a cup of tea with THREE sweeteners

(Comment removed because it broke the rules)

......

I tried my best to keep it PC and respectful to the pilot and passengers which made it unfunny, there's a tumour in humour it seems,

now, what about free speech, any opinions on that ?

just asking

You were a naughty lad tom live with it

Has the N word caught you out again Tom?

Tsk tsk tsk!

Its not big and its not clever, and its just not funny, when is it going to go in??


As regards free speech?
Personally I am all for it, cornerstone of civilised culture, however personal responsibility and respect for others has to go with it.

What do you say?

You're very welcome, Peter. Tommy T put a link on, on 3 March, which I found very interesting. I can't remember the last time I had any coffee as I can live without it, but just don't take me tea off me.

This has become quite an interesting post because, I too have had some bally warches recently and am wondering, ' is it the coffee now' I never suspected it before, With me its just like a mild heart burn or indigestion and, I have been drinking more coffee than normal and I spade the coffee in the cup, I use a dessert spoon but, only level loaded and never thought it was harmful but now ? I'm gonna cut down the dosage and the quantity,
and secondly , I'd ask the posters who come here belly warching about my posts who's names I will not mention to, check how much coffee they are drinking

Lor coffee on special at Sainsbury £5 Usually £8

Tom:

Did you not read my post about my husband's Warrant Officer having two teaspoons of coffee in each cup, eight times a day? A desert spoon is equivalent to two teaspoons. The WO also got palpitations and was taken to hospital.

Yes Mollie I did but its was only today as I got this ' bally warch' and I started putting 2 and 2 together, I'm thinking that, Is there a connection ??

You may have saved my life here on this thread Mollie..... Thank you..

Tom, I'm glad to help when I can, but excessive amounts of anything is bad for you, even tea, as you well know. Caffeine is a drug which is also found in chocolate and other foodstuffs, so be careful.
