    Robusta is the reason chocolate was added to cappuccino, to balance the bitterness. It was (still is?) cheaper than Arabica beans. These days I just use a nespresso machine and 2 pods per cup. Lidls intenso is pretty good. Got sick of waiting for Nespresso deliveries a long time ago

    They are a bit stingy in size to what I'm used to, the machine I've got I always hit the options for hottest, strongest and biggest and it falls a little bit short on all three. The XL one was good though, if there's a stronger version I think I'll have found my regular.

    I like this one as well.

    The "morning cafe" one is nice as well.

    I've tried that one and it was nice but it was a bit mild and refined for me I'm looking for something to really knock my socks off. Whichever one you choose the caffeine boost compared to instant is significant, I think it's about three times as much.

    Just use nescafe mate but put 6 spoonfuls in that should do the trick

    Don't have a handle on QT at all past reservoir dogs which I think is as close to a masterpiece indie as you can physically make.

    I think every single one of his films since is vastly overrated.

    Me and the wife watched it just last night and it’s still as fresh as ever. It’s been a good few years since I last saw it but I still knew loads of the dialogue!!!

    .....and as for coffee, I’ve got a Nespresso machine and they do a good range of Starbucks coffee in the pods which are very nice. The nicest coffee I’ve had in a long time was in Vietnam 3 years ago. We had a guide take us on a tour of Hanoi and we went to a local coffee shop and I had “coffee with egg” - a local coffee made with a raw egg yolk.....bloody gorgeous!!
