MakemineVanilla Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) I think Mellow Birds instant might be able to rival Maxwell House! As bad as they are they aren't Camp Coffee (which does have 4% coffee) I've no idea what's in it but it always gave me a limp wrist.

maqroll Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) I drink a cup of Luzianne coffee (THE BEST) in the morning, and I drink herbal tea throughout the winter, maybe a cup every other day. I get this stuff called "Breathe Deep" by Yogi Tea Company. It's fantastic for dry or scratchy throats and you don't need to sweeten it.

Nath182 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Can't stand tea but drink quite a bit of coffee at work. Normally around 3-5 cups a day. I'll drink any brand really but prefer the Milicano stuff from Kenco, it's almost like it's not instant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filter is where it's at.You might like your coffee dripped through a bag but to me its not a patch on coffee made in an expresso machine, made with steam at around 120psi. Do people really still make filter coffee? Even the caffetiere was a better idea than the filters but you thankfully only see them in France these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do people really still make filter coffee? Filer is back, espresso has lost its cool. Try an aeropress coffee. There is no superior method, just alternative methods. http://gu.com/p/3jnkn Edited January 23, 2014 by Mr_Dogg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatly prefer it to any other style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do people really still make filter coffee? Even the caffetiere was a better idea than the filters but you thankfully only see them in France these days If you filter coffee through a £20 filter-machine from asda, it will taste just as vile as an espresso made from a £20 espresso-machine from asda. The problem is not the type of coffee, it's the utterly useless hardware people have in their homes. And most coffee-houses cheat by pouring water in an espresso and pass it off as coffee, (americano I think). YUCK! Use one of these and you get proper wonderful coffee If one prefers espresso, by all means, it's lovely. But prepare to pay for the hardware.
