Buenos Dias.

[Mexican18]

It occurred to me this morning,whilst half asleep,that the coffee jar has instructions how to use! Is there anyone in the world,under 4 years old,who can't make instant coffee?

[anneasquith]

Most of us can, we read the instructions and retained the information .:-)

[murraymints]

buenos dias Mex... I know someone who can't ! doubt he even knows where the jar is..and as far as the cafetiere or percolator ....well... instruction manual time !

[albaqwerty]

Men never read instructions Minty !!

Now, what if you've changed brands and not sure on strength of coffee, then follow the instructions and it ends up too weak?
yuck!!

[Tilly2]

I can't make a decent cup of coffee. I always put too much coffee in the mug.

[murraymints]

trooooo !

[dannyk13]

How much coffee granules to use is a matter or personal taste.

[albaqwerty]

a heaped teaspoon Tilly :-)

[Mexican18]

I suspect that the person you know doesn't WANT to make it not incapable Minty!

[murraymints]

make tea !

[murraymints]

indeed Mex !!

[Mexican18]

I think that if you are putting to much in,Tilly,there might be an obvious answer!!!

[Tilly2]

How big is a heap, Alba?

[Tilly2]

Mexican, if I put less in it's like hot water.

[albaqwerty]

2 level teaspoons Tilly :-D

[murraymints]

teaspoon with a mound !!

[albaqwerty]

FIL likes his coffee made with milk, he's says he prefers the way I make him one compared to one of my SIL's.
She bungs the mug of milk into the microwave, no, no, no
Wrong on so many levels.

[donny48]

I have never made a cup of instant coffee, or for that matter any coffee, as I find even the smell repellant therefore to make a cup would require instruction.

I've never met an under 4 that could do it, maybe I've led a sheltered life?
