    have you got a coffee machine?

    if not dont bother - drinking freeze dried just doesnt cut it anymore.

    i like making Lavazza espresso into a four cuppa with brown sugar and cream :)

    get a machine they only cost about 30 quid

    if not, carte noir is ok........

    im a coffee snob arent i??!!:D

    GREAP POST REVEL!

    Nescafe is horrible tastes like chemicals!!!

    Kenco is the best freeze dried brand.

    Kenco Pure Columbian is fucking wank tho..... weak and tasteless.

    Havent got a coffee machine (but thinking about it) so know knowt about beans... theres a coffee bean stall in the indoor market in Newcastle.

    best to get it from a nationwide dealer though coz you never know how long those beans have been there.

    when you use coffee beans, keep them in the freezer as it keeps the taste longer.

    mmmmmmmm coffeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    I used to drink fucking loads of coffee when I was at Uni because I thought I wasnt a proper student unless I drank it.

    It was all down to posed photos on Barclays bank leaflets etc. :lol:

    I am now down to like one cup a day....... anymore and I get totally wired! Coffee is not very good for you at all.

    Tea on the other hand contains much less caffine and is better for you.

    I have lots of time for Tea! Its the drink of the ENGLISH!!

    The best cup Iv had was made with goats milk and was served to me by a Indian with no legs.

    theres not that much difference in caffine content actually.

    Tea typically contains between 60-70 Mg, and coffee typically 60-100, depending on the brand. Most instand coffee contains around 70Mgs i think....

    Are we talking talking dried powder weights here?

    Dont forgot you only dip a tea bag and drain ther contents where as you stir a who tea spoon of coffee in your drink.

    A cup of tea is watery as fuck compared to the chemical soup that is coffee, I doubt it VERY much the caffine content is as close as that.
