Coffee Addicts Unite!

Good suggestion WebyJ!  I had an awesome latte and a bagel for 5 bucks- what a steal. 

Sweet! Glad it was as good as I remembered...makes me miss the old 'hood though. Oh well...

I've enjoyed reading this thread.   

Question - what do you all do with the grounds in the cafetierre?  I usually don't use my cafetierre and opt for the drip coffee maker because it's easier to get rid of the ground. 
I live in a flat with no garden of my own so can't compost. 

Welllllll  i will be honest and say i just rinse em down the sink.  Not sure what others do tho. Will follow and see what folks do.

I rinse them down the sink as well.

Waiting for BF to get back from walking the dog so that we can have our Sunday cup!  We're going to have it with some cinnamon buns.  Sweet sassy molassy am I looking forward to it! 

I am a sink ground dumper as well.  It supposedly helps clear the drains, but that might be an old wives tail.  I rinse the grounds from my moka pot and I used to rinse my electric espresso pot grounds down the drain as well.

I think it is an old wives' tale. Most plumbers tell you to never put coffee grounds down the sink. I dump mine in the bin. There's always a bit left that I can't get out, and that gets washed down the sink, but I try to keep that to a minimum.

Since it is usually a pot I dump as much as possible in the trash and then the rest gets washed away down the sink.

I wish grains cleaned the drain I would be dumping them down the bathroom sink/bath tub

Another for tipping the coffee grinds in the bin

Found new independent coffee shop today that had LOTS of different kinds of drip coffee including decaf.  I think I've found a new home.

I do this

I'm drinking some kona coffee right now and its heaven 

My favourite coffee place is:

They sell lovely stuff. And they were voted one of the top ten best coffee houses in Britain.

I need a 2nd cup this morning, but I'm out of sugar and have to wait for the shops to open to get some...thankfully they open in 3 minutes   

I've been subjected to instant coffee, living here with DH and in-laws. They drink Douwe Egberts, which is supposedly the best stuff ever created. I beg to differ. It tastes like water! I'm guessing this is going to be a resounding no, but, does anyone else drink instant?

On the coffee grounds thing, I remember from the States that people said it was more green to put the grounds in your compost bin. Don't know, though, since I don't have my own compost bin to put things into.
