I had this on my wishlist and my lovely Secret Santa got it for me *YAY Jennie*


It is TOTALLY worth it and I wanted to share...I don't need to make 10 cups of coffee anymore which saves me on the good coffee since I use more frothy milk goodness.

So for those coffee addicts out there this is worth it to get one if you like latte's or milk in your coffee.

It's lovely isn't it...nice & strong without being bitter & too acidic. I've been hooked on it for years now.

Yep, just finished a cup :D   I didn't know it had been around that long!

I'm still on the lookout for a strong coffee with a light chocolate flavour. I've never been able to find one that completely fits the bill.
I know I'm late - where's the booze?

Taylors has their Christmas blend out right now. It's a Sumatra & Arabica blend so it has that chocolate flavour. It's anot as strong as the Hot Lava Java (I think it's a 4) but just add an extra scoop when brewing through a drip maker. Wilko's has it for £2.25 and I've also seen it at Co-Op.

I've not tried it - might mosey into town today and see what I can find :) Pair that with the milk foamer and I can see magic happening.

Question...What brand of coffee syrup are you folks using?  I saw Chary had said she had some that lasted ages, but the one we've got doesn't seem to last that long.  It's Torani and it's very nice, but we bought a big bottle last week and I just finished it off this morning.  Now, we've been drinking it a bunch so I didn't expect it to last forever, I just thought I'd get a bit more out of it than I have.

Thanks!   :D  I'll have to look for Monin.  I am planning to pick up the next bottle at Starbucks instead of the kind I've been getting just to see if it lasts longer.

OMG If coffee came in a drip (IV) I would soo have them hook me up! LOL! I'm really sad that I won't have my parents espresso maker with me in England (they never used it till I came to visit them, now it's used daily!)

I LOVE Costa Coffee and can't wait to get to go there again, but I'm so distressed about there not being any flavored creamer! I've been looking up some recipes and this site seemed to have some good idea on how to make your own, so even though I haven't made any yet, I thought I would share it and if you beat me at making any of them, share and let me know how easy it was to make and if it was actually any good!!  ;D

I'm trying a new coffee this week: Morrisons The Best Fairtrade Ethiopian Mocha Ground Coffee...I really like it and it's fairtrade, 100% Arabica & not really really expensive either. I paid £2.32 for a 227g bag.

Have you tried anything new lately?

Nothing new lately, but my friends gave me 2lbs of beans of something nice and gourmet and very flavourful for Christmas.  Can't remember what it is specifically though.  I brought that back with me, along with 2 bags of 8 O'Clock coffee and 1 bag of pumpkin spice coffee. That should last me for a little while!
