now only drink fancy coffee from coffee shops. I still have a jar for those that drop in.

I'm a coffee snob.
I will drink tea rather than stoop so low as to drink instant.
I use a pod machine at home which is almost good as a good café coffee.
Any guests we have over Wil get pod coffee.
Pixy, buy a pod machine.
They are so easy to use and the coffee is sublime [emoji3]
Your guests will love you for it.
I don't mess around with a milk frother, just nuke milk in cup for 40 seconds and under the pod machine and viola, perfect flat white.
Also, double shot expresso, totally awesome[emoji39]

Lightweight.

 

I didn't even know what a macchiato was until I started here.

 

Half of IT have their own machines and grinders at home, their own favourite beans, when we were still located in Perth itself, it was not uncommon to get dragged into a specific store in Northbridge for one of the guys to buy more beans or try out a new bean type.

 

It's funny though, we have this you beaut machine with buttons on it everywhere but half the time the staff have to clean out a drawer or add water or wait for it to run a clean.

 

Oh and when I get asked how it works and state that I don't drink coffee, man does the look of defeat on their faces crack me up.

 

A good three quarters of staff can't even start working until their first caffeine fix.

I am also. Never touch the macca's crap anymore. The last few times, one sip and in the bin.Full cup.

I'll look into now. Which brands to look for?

I do have a few packets of the Nescafe Latte Sachets in Cappuccino and Caramel. They're not to bad.

And you can tell them any caffeine consumed within 24 hours of the first one does sweet fark all except make you immune to it. So they're drinking that monkey piss for nothing.

Word on the street is if you get your water to no more than 92*C you should be able to make instant coffee taste good. 

 

 

My kettle actually has preset temperatures on it

 

95^o for "Coffee"

 

Am tupping that by the time I get there to pour it'll be a couple of degrees cooler.

 

Will give it a go next time I run out of milk

I bought this machine (Espressotoria, Adesso)
We got this on Super special from Mrs BCB's work with 6 pakets of pods for $50.
I have seen them at Coles for $99.
Pckt of 12 pods range from about $4:50 to $9
I have tasted coffee from a $3000 machine that ground the beans and heated the milk that my niece had.
And my last workplace had a $2000 pod machine.
This little baby puts them to shame.
And to clean it you just run a shot of water without a pod, so simple.
We've had it for about 3 years and it does at least 2 shots a day

I haven't drank coffee in like 9 months... I dont really think I'll enjoy it if I have it now tbh.
Although I've always more been a cuppa tea kinda woman.

Never understood the "I need 3 cups of coffee to function" kinda thing.

I like it when jet makes me a hot chocolate with our milk froth machine though:)

Aldi Pod machine (pods available from Aldi or officeworks) and the breville milk frother works very well
