baddad Report post Posted September 15, 2006 If you're like me and love the taste of fresh 'cafettiere' coffee but hate all that messy washing up, just try adding 1 teaspoon per person of your favourite coffee powder instead of the usual ground beans! Make up with boiling water in the usual way and - VOILA! Cafettiere coffee WITHOUT THE MESS! Brilliant!! Alternatively, you can go to your local ****bux, and pay a couple of quid for a cardboard cup full of tepid mud! Anyone else got any brilliant tips?

Frangipani Report post Posted September 15, 2006 Gesundheit ! Keh!! Gesundheit used to wish good health, especially to a person who has just sneezed. What does this have to do with the price of tea in china or coffee You are so random Baddad My favourite coffee for home if its not Gloria Jeans cappucino is 'Nescafe Blend 43' full body blend, it suits me fine too. No mess. Or plungers are just as good, dont you just love the smell of freshly grinded coffee. Apparently the best way to keep your coffee beans fresh is to store them in the freezer in an airtight container. Love my coffee, cheers and red wine, 'Merlot' please.

baddad Report post Posted September 15, 2006 Apparently the best way to keep your coffee beans fresh is to store them in the freezer in an airtight container. Funny, i always heard it was best to keep them on a well watered bush in a warm but not overly exposed north facing plantation! Bid: Ersatz - coffee made from acorns as consumed in WW2 (actually means any sort of 'faux' product, but applied particularly to coffe for some reason...) . Sounds a bit like a sneeze, so : Gesundheit! (thanks F...) Random? me?? how completely Hatstand! Oh look at that chicken...Is she really going out with him?... Purple!!...

Siadwell Report post Posted September 16, 2006 Keh!! Gesundheit used to wish good health, especially to a person who has just sneezed. Gesundheit, or bless you, in English after a sneeze actually means that they say this to stop the devil returning back into the persons body, as a sneeze was to signify getting rid of said devil.

Karen A Report post Posted September 16, 2006 My Mum used to have a coffee pot in the 70's, kind of like a teapot that you put instant coffee into to try and look posh! My mum had one similar.You put it on the stove and let it boil for a bit.She used to boil milk and add it.At the time I thought it was strange.I thought trendy individuals drank instant very strong black coffee. The thing is -I now go all the way to a certain coffee place and buy late- not unlike what my mum made.I admit I don't need a saucer.Karen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baddad Report post Posted September 19, 2006 everyone associates english people with drinking lots of tea,why then are there no cafes which specialise in just tea like there are coffee shops?or are there and i just havent seen any? Ahhh those were the days... lace curtains in bow windows... Chelsea buns and fondant fancies - the occassional sticky willy if you were lucky!... Scones, jam and clotted cream and china crockery with a pot and strainer (none of your teabag's full of factory floor sweepings and dust!)... Summer meadows, parasols and bicycle clips, or maybe a wicker hamper in the boot of the Woolsley... Game pie, tartan rugs... potted shrimp and doorstops torn from a freshly baked cottage loaf... and dear old Bertie, dancing the watutsi beneath the weeping willow by the riverbank with that game little lass from the chinese laundry... sigh... those were the days........... (Granny told me all about them. She was the game little lass from the chinese laundry... finished up with a bun in the oven and sixpence in her pinny... Managed to convince grandpa that lots of 'early' babies came in at nine-pounds 7, and that eye colour wasn't always hereditary...) Sorry, I'll get me coat....
