Coffee

[Buenchico]

I found this page of great photos on the BBC website and thought that others here might enjoy them too:

What I really want to know though is how anyone could possibly bring themselves to stir and drink that Thai cup of coffee. It's far too beautiful to destroy!

;-)

Soooooo cute, speaking of coffee do you think five cups this morning was too many, I have been pinging around all over the place

[Buenchico]

Only five cups? That's just for breakfast, surely?

Back in my student days we used to deliberately target ourselves to drink 30 mugs of coffee per day, with three heaped teaspoons of Nescafé in each one. That's probably why I've still not got a regular sleep pattern now!

[rowanwitch]

Hi caffeine fresh brewed, it was before breakfast. I've had a bottle of Pepsi max since then

[Buenchico]

When I was teaching I could get through several packets of Pro Plus in a day.

These days I start to feel 'drunk' if I drink too much coffee. (That's probably a good thing as it means that I drink far less of it, often preferring tea, which is better for my blood pressure).

[rowanwitch]

I switch to tea about 5pm, unless I am trying to get something finished.

Although not averse to the odd cup of coffee I drink very little of it, perhaps one cup a fortnight. I have a half-full jar of coffee which I've had for the past two years. I'm very much a tea man, the stronger the better.

[Buenchico]

I like my tea strong too, Jack, but with plenty of milk.

[Jackdaw33]

Don't like milky tea. Just enough to colour it. The only reason I keep sugar in the house is for the odd coffee or grapefruit. Never bother otherwise.

Thank you, they are lovely. I agree about the Thai coffee.

[hereIam]

I couldn't drink those little doggies either !

[Buenchico]

Thanks, Marval.

I wonder how long it takes to prepare one of those coffees?

[Buenchico]

Thanks also, HereIam.

(They're way too cute!)

[rowanwitch]

By the time it's ready you'd be like, nah it's ok I'll get one in costa

Your'e a bit like me - in fact i only put a 1/2 a teaspoon in a mug of tea/ coffee
I don't like to taste the milk in tea / coffee ( strange i know )

I couldn't drink milk on it's own

My colleagues at work laugh at me when they see how much milk i put in
Why bother ? - they always ask

Fabulous pictures, love the ( old couple ) on the balcony. Would love to go into that room .

[Buenchico]

Yes, Anne,I like the way that the BBC's picture editor isn't too rigid when deciding whether or not a picture fits the theme. Even though that picture was simply taken from a coffee shop (rather than actually having anything to do with coffee) it's been deemed good enough to be exhibited on their website anyway.

Wonderful photos...want more. Thanks Chris.

[anneasquith]

Just looked at them again chris, that dirty chipped leaking mug is gross but,I think the coffee tastes great . :-)

[Buenchico]

Thanks, Pasta.

I reckon I can take a decent picture when I really try but far too often I simply find myself looking at someone else's photos and thinking "Why can't I take pictures like that?"

Coffee is vile stuff.
The singular reason why ’Revels’ is an also ran in confectionary sales rather than a market leader. Everyone hates the coffee Revel.
