Welcome.
Bit tired today, I'll have one of those strong expresso's, those Italians are so good at.
I should have either never have gone, or maybe never have come back from Mugello, becaues I cannot get a decent coffee here.

Thanks for the offer, but I'd rather drink my own weeeee than both of those.
That is in the cyber world not the real one!
You won't fine me appearing on Eurotrash

Can't get a decent coffee?? I had the same problem after the first time i went to Italy and just like Italian motorbike ownership its going to cost you if you want to sort it :D For a quick decent easy to make espresso you need one of these or these then order a nice mixed case of lavazza beans then you'll need a set of these as well :D :D

Morning Steve. Did you see the 'shortened' WSB last night? Still manage to fit in the adverts though, don't they?

I think I've probably had enough tea and coffee this morning. Something to improve my mood would be good - Bucks Fizz please ;-)

Since when have there been tea plantations in Yorkshire - I know you Tykes are tight and prone to exaggeration but that takes the biscuit so to speak. (no pun intended)

As for great coffee - it has to be Italian and the brand "Illy". Check it out, you can get it in the UK if you look hard enough.

I don't like virtual anything - so welcome to a great "real" club - DSC is the real thing. And in a real pub I'd have a pint of Pedi.

Or, for a more simple and less 'gizmoey' type of coffee, you need these items and 3 heaped tablespoons of Columbian coffee.

I'm learning that the hard way.
It's starting to rain here, looks like it could be a wet one again this year.
So why did I come back again?
Should have stayed, don't know if I could really enjoy gettings as wet as last year again.
All I can see is my poor 7 year old's wet face looking up at me saying are we really having a good time dad?

Sorry Ruth, coffee snob alert :D :D I've got a few machines, the automatic Ti Gaggia (Claire and Jon have one identical so you'll get to try it tomorrow), also a traditional Solis single brew head and Rocky grinder, I sold my Jura which was very trick, made a great brew but kept breaking down, it was sort of like Ducati ownership only I don't rely on my bikes, I did on the coffee machine :) We're off to a cottage in Wales this week and the Solis will be packed in the van as its unlikely I'll find a decent coffee :)

Have fun then. If good coffee's in short supply, just make sure you pack some PG Tips T Bags - can't go wrong with a decent cup of tea! Same cup size required as pictured - holds a pint. I'm packing it to take to Claire's, just in case they don't have proper cups up there :devil:

Mike and Linzi's frappaccinos [sp?] are the badger's tadgers, they get my full support! Choice of three different flavourings, too, it doesn't come any better!
