I love coffee. To me coffee should be hot, black, much thicker than water, slightly grainy, and in a big mug (me). On site, I make my own, with a big stainless cafetière. It's part of my tool kit. I avoid Starbucks/costa where possible, but always get one at Membury on Monday morning, drive through. Every time, without exception, I'm asked by the grey talking box if I want a delicious blueberry muffin with that.

I meant the espresso. If you’re having a latte or cappuccino just accept you don’t like coffee.

Nero is infinitely better than Costa or Starbucks but infinitely worse than a good independent coffee shop.

Totally agree that espresso is the only way to drink coffee, apart from a normal sized cappuccino before 10.00 a.m with a pastry when in Italy. There must be a lot of money in these places. There are well over 25 coffee shops/cafes in Leamington Spa alone, including at least two each of the horrible chains. A couple of the independents are Italian owned and sell a decent espresso, and there a couple of excellent Portuguese ones as well. For some mystifying reason the most popular is a pretentious monstrosity called Coffee Architects, ultra trendy, it has queues outside it on weekends. Mystifying.
 
Farting in confined spaces.
I walked into one that was not unlike a cloudy haze. ( London fog l suppose )
It just about knocked me over.
Burnt the hair in my nose, made my eyes water and caused me to spit out any dirty air intake.
Dirty rotters!
Ban it!

Great thread.......a must read whilst having a coffee:emoticon-0162-coffe

Love coffee especially when abroad when it costs about €1 a cup and you can enjoy it alfresco.......

I'd ban Christmas decorations going up in shops before the end of August, especially if it's 30 odd degrees and the sun is splitting the rocks.......

Have to agree about this black friday malarky..........It was pointed out on the radio this morning about the irony of black friday happening on the day after people give thanks for what they have......then again Americans don't do irony.

Ant & Dec.....what's the point of them?

This will do for starters.....

Ban men wearing white socks - shocking; long beards - why are you doing that? Drivers not able to understand how to use indicators. Those disgusting syrup flavours people put in their coffee. Herbal/fruit teas!
Car/Lorry drivers who block off both lanes for people as two lanes converge to one, just in case someone gets a minute ahead of them - FFS, drive to the end and just let someone in - life is too short mate!!!
