for without which I quite possibly never have got anywhere in life....
Generally I like it hot, black, very strong and no sugar (unless I need an extra kick)... hmmmm arabica i luuuurrrrvvvve you.
But a fresh Americano, homemade with Lavazzo Espresso, and a shot of baileys sends me to heaven (try the mint one!), = the Irish/Italian dirty coffee. I love the fact that it's sooo cheap to live off this stuff in the Alps and the Pyrenees.
Who actually invented coffee? Because, whoever it is, I would like to give them a big smackerooney on the lips.
that lavazza expresso is good..i love the smell of freshly ground coffee..nothing better.
I have one of those stove top coffee makers like this:
and it is a badass...pack the wee swine and bubble it through slowly and you get a lovely thick mud

yep - mine makes up to 10 espresso shots at a time.... I also have an amazing coffee filter machine on a timer for the mornings and a coffee bean grinder
I like the Lavazzo espresso, but I actually prefer to buy fresh beans in if possible... There's a market stall in salisbury that sells the most amazing Indonesian coffee - keep the beans in the freezer, whizz them up as you use them and store in the fridge....
I need to get back to salisbury soon, never thought I would ever say that...
Coffee is indeed one of life's little treasures...
I was just turned on to my new favorite for the warmer weather - the Iced Americano.
I used to get an Iced "Black Eye" - A cup of drip coffee with two extra shots of espresso, but one of the last times I ordered it the nice barrista said, "Hey, if I give you an Americano, its cheaper and you get more espresso - 4 shots." It is now the best part of waking up...

hmmm that does sound good! I love iced espresso frappucinos... I would like to try the shot of baileys in it tho....

Next time try the weed in the coffee. The heat from the coffee activates the trichromes and makes for a nice little saturday morning.
Weed and coffee was my staple diet over the bank holiday weekend. Welcome to the world of hyperlaxity - a very strange place indeed. Try and have wierd sleep patterns and see no-one for added mental spasms

It's all about ordering the extra shots
It depends where you go..cafe nero is usally pretty strong anyway, places like starbucks are just coffee flavoured milk and require at least 2/3 extra shots.
I have a coffee grinder, but it's used for spices instead, so I usually buy pre ground..not got a filter machine, not enough room in my kitchen! I just use the stove top with some java or similar and fire it through a bit quicker.

I like it but it makes me feel edgy. Probably drink one Cup a week after my sunday dinner. Colombia is my favoured producer.
Vietnamese Coffee is the delicious, though apparently they don't export it or at least not the good stuff.

Yeah, I usually dont get the frapp/blended type unless its really hot and Im in the mood... usually too much dairy/dairy substitute type stuff for me... just take the espresso and pour it over some ice, put in a touch of sugar and mmmmmmmmmmmm.

cafe nero as standard... and yes i order 2/3 extra shots there...
The guy at the counter has given up asking me if I'm sure that's what i want. A couple of times as a joke, he's thrown a couple extra in - that gets a bit much to be honest as I sat jiggling in my chair trying to focus on the screen with fingers in hyperdrive on the keyboard... funny though
At least he often gives me free coffee over and above the loyalty ones on account of the entertainment value
i luuuurrrrvvvve you.
