Bean to cup

[Alex]

And that's snobbish. You have it the way you like it then I'm not wrong for wanting it the way I like it..and screw the 'purists'..

Snobbish ?  sod off Zoony 

[zoony]

Help! Verbal abuse, verbal abuse! Nurse!!
Sure it is.. 'sacrilege'? I prefer instant, should I be put to death? (Don't answer that!)..
    yerself.

I've instant in the cupboard for emergencies, has to be Douwe Egberts though

[zoony]

Snap! And I keep my ginger nuts in one of the empty jars..

[Alex]

I have trouble with those jars.... hard to get them open.

[Scrumpy]

 Douwe Egbert !! . Horrible jars.. I even changed my coffee brand because the struggle to get them open..

[klondike]

That's what I've got as an emergency jar although now hopefully won't need it. There was one that was just powder I liked that seemed to vanish. Nescafe Espresso iirc. The Douwe Egbert jars keep stuff fresh and I didn't find them especially hard to open.

[zoony]

They're not.. Just weak-wristed women..which is a little surprising..

[GrannyMac]

I like a latte if I'm out, but we just have instant at home, Alto Rica, and we both mainly drink tea.  Son has a Nespresso machine, he likes it strong. We have a small kitchen, really don't have room for a counter top machine.

and if your ginger nuts are in an empty jar, tha needs to order some more

[Scrumpy]

Ginger Nuts in empty jars .. !! A biscuit tin for me.. they hold more..

[GrannyMac]

It maybe depends on whether you intend  to make coffees that include frothy milk. Cleaning the milk stuff on some can be a pain. I chose one that has very little in the way of milk frothing gear. You put milk directly into the cup, pull down the frother and press the button. When made I detach the frother and take it and the cup to the sink bowl (cup catching any remaining drips) then I rinse and dry the frother and put it back on the machine for next time.

As they go it wasn't an expensive machine but compared to filter machines or pod machines it is stupidly so. The JL advert although I got mine from Currys as they are just down the road. One thing about all of them is that they are big. If considering any of them check the size.

None of the women with whom I've had a relationship would ever drink anything produced by Siemens.

Spit not swallow eh? Back on form then Phil.

At Morrisons too.. Exactly the same biscuit as far as one can tell.
Those colourful wrappers must be hellishly expensive to produce..
I also keep peanuts and cashews in them..
