Are you a coffee 'snob'?

[Answerprancer]

If there's one thing I cannot thole it's sub-standard coffee.
The worst of the lot is that milky vomit they serve up in 'builder' cafes.
Starbucks are a fraud - rarely have I had a decent coffee from them, and they their 'fair-trade' policy is dubious.
The best of the high street coffee bars IMO is Cafe Nero: good quality, decent strength, forgeable loyalty cards - it's genius siting a couple of their branches for the tired traveller in Heathrow and Gatwick.
My setup here at home is: Gaggia espresso machine (permanently set up with the 'double' espresso holder), microwave to warm the milk, and Taylors Hot Lava Java - strength 6 :-)

So - back to my question, are you a coffee connoisseur, do you have a decent set-up or do you just bung a spoonfull of Maxwell house into a mug, slop water onto it and glug?

Hmm...I don't mind a drop of the old Burroo - but I prefer this:

It's like fizzy port!

Yes I have - it must be weird drinking something that is both 40% and fizzy - 40 quid a bottle though! What the vernacular?! I'd rather buy a couple of bottles of Glenfiddich.

Hi there Answerprancer. Finally I have met someone on here who loves a decent coffee like I do. In fact I am about to go down stairs and make a nice espresso. I would definitely agree about Starbucks coffee houses. I have never had a decent cup of cappuccino or espresso in there. Best I have had also is Cafe Nero.
I have a Morphy Richards Coffee maker which makes a superb coffee. I also have a Neapolitan Stove Top Espresso maker which does a gorgeous coffee. My fav' coffee has to be Lavazza.
