Having made the early morning coffee then falling back asleep awoke to a nice cup of cold coffee this brought about the comment from
Me.= "God I hate Cold Coffee"
My Wife's Reply. =" You get used to it with four Babies"
Me.= "I drank enough when I was in the army on tanks"
Me. My wife's very quick response.="Not my fault you couldn't stop your tank from Crying"
Me ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
FIN
;D ;D
Why didnt you just boil the kettle again, or stick it in the microwave
Perhaps there wasn't a microwave in the tank? :P
Sounds like Mart was in some early dodgy Soviet tank like a T26 or something
Lol!
Oh no!
FSN is going to be badgering Leon for a new, "Centurion Cafatiere" variant. :D
Nah everyone knows the the original Centurion came with either full a la carte menu (
with waiters) in peace time...or self service buffet if involved in combat
coffee + microwave = :-bd
If you want a second latte in Starbucks (assuming you wanted a first one) just ask to have yours reheated and you'll be told they don't reheat but they can make you another one.
We had BV's in my day. Freshly brewed char 24/7 ;)
Well....I prefer cold coffee !
Make myself a mug before I go to bed in the evening, then drink it cold first thing when I wake.
Make another mug before I start work....Then wait for it go cold before I drink that.
Cheers - Phil
I presume this is due to the weather like we have up here.. soon as you make it it goes cold

Mrs T certainly complains that her drinks go cold too quickly...Like I say, I just prefer coffee cold.....Oh....and cold Bovril.
NOT tea though.....Cold tea is yikky !

Don't call the thing you all northerners drink Coffee.
Call it Brown water.
(Napolitan caffè for the win)
Cold coffee? With a lovely yukky skin on it?
Cold coffee = "Frappuccino"
Very refreshing on a hot afternoon. Not my first choice on a day like today though!
Cold coffee with Tafia-rum kept the French Army going through WW-1 (although I guess the rum was more decisive than the cold coffee...). Tried it while re-enacting last year and it works perfect! :D
Cheers!

Cold coffee is the work of Beelzebub... :d
The Devil saw God's good coffee and was jealous...so he took it to Wales and watched it go cold :-&
Iced coffee is nice...well it is when its 42C and you sitting a lovely table overlooking the Yarra in Melbourne
Forgot to say.....It's got to have at least 4 spoons of sugar in it.
Barbarian's not far off with what I drink.....Brown, very sweet flavoured water would probably be nearer the mark.
Had a couple of friends visiting from the States a good few years ago....Had to buy some 'proper' coffee for them.
Tried it !.....That, to me, is really horrid....Probably as much as the stuff I drink, would be vomit inducing for them. ;D ;D ;D ;D

I completely agree Phil Sainsburys Basic coffee 47p a bag is the only way forward

For 47p...whatever is in THAT bag...IT AINT COFFEE!!! :-&
I drink a) because its cheap and I like it and b) my wife is allergic to 'real' coffee even the smell of it makes her extremely nauseous
I think we need to take a step back here and REALLY look at what we are drinking.
My current coffee is from Sri Lanka, handpicked and panroasted. Friend of mine is importing it (along with some lovely teas).
Other than that it is CARO (a barley drink) which tastes very similar but has no sideeffects of ceffeein.
What I am trying to say is: Less is more. I do not mind paying about 4 quid per 250g of coffee which tastes good and moreover I know those 4 quid largely go to the growers themselves. Same thing with my latest addiction honey and Mead. I simply cannot find any decent honey or Mead in the UK although one would expect otherwise. Ended up getting my stuff sent over fom an organic beefarm in Germany. It all depends how much yourself is willing to give up for a return of great taste.
I also bake most of our bread at home nowadays. Having horsemeat in the beef-brugers has certainly helped my choice of lifestyle.

Civet cat :o I've tried it; just tastes like nice coffeeto me but my wife loves it.
However, it works out at £7:50 a cup so it won't be a regular experience in th Grips' household :-\
How cups of your non-coffee could you get from £7:50 Fenton? ;)

A nursery rhyme for the 21st century then:
Black coffee hot, black coffee cold,
Black coffee in the pot - nine days old.
Some like it hot, some like it cold,
Some like it in the pot - nine days old.
:)
I think your a couple of centuries out there
It sounds familiar anyway
Black coffee hot, black coffee cold,
Black coffee in the pot, nine days old.
Fenton likes it weak, Techno likes it cold,
While he's sculpting greens, for Leon to mold. :D
:P ;D ;D ;D ;D
But the civet poo coffee has given me an idea for a great money making scam scheme....
Be really exclusive, so I should be able to charge a premium price.

you silly sod...It will be tuft to follow that
Not being anything like a conner-sewer (sic) of coffee....I'd always imagined the 'proper stuff' was supposed to be on the bitter side. :-\
Probably why I dump so much sugar in the stuff I use...and that's about the mildest, weakest type I believe you can get.
Cheers - Phil.
Bear in mind that most posters here come from the nation notorious for the worst coffee in the world. People who complain about not getting chips with sashimi won't enjoy bitter coffee either, let's face it.
No, the worst coffee in the world was in a restaurant in Wellington, New Zealand back in the seventies. Shame, the rest of the country was really nice....

Having just spent 18 hours in the John Radcliffe A and E with my daughter I would put thier vended coffee up for " worst coffee in the world" I had not had a drink for 6 hours and I was in two minds as to wether to throw it away or drink it.
Worst 'coffee' I've ever had was at Legionary in Exeter a couple of years age. The only semblance it had to coffee was that it was in a cup, hot, and sort of brown coloured.... :'(
Worst coffee experience of my life was in south India. They grow superb coffee - rich, winy, acidic, fragrant - but have NO idea how to brew it. It's like giving a Stradivarius to a mid-west American country dance band.
Try "Tchibo Privat Kaffee - Brasil" when in Germany. Brazilian coffee, for me, is the taste of choice.
For me it's Arabica, I don't like Robusta.
But again, with the Italian way of doing it, it's extremely strong, so you really can taste the difference.

See, full of useless c**p, me! ;D
Well observed Youngling. He was also Prime Minister in Little Britain.
Gareth Hunt was rather a hunk.
If your taste runs in that direction. :)
I just made a bowl of coffe that makes the hair on my back stand up.
Excellent!
Did Anthony Head 'take over' from Gareth Hunt ?
I'll swear GH used to do some adverts for Gold Bland coffee (70s/80s?)
