Treating myself to a freshly brewed Queensland Blue (coffee) while contemplaiting to offer stepdaughter for spare part sale cos I do so want another reader (brain won't fetch much though).

Have you ever run across Birch Beer? Equally non-alcoholic, a little more red but still kinda brown. I've only seen it in the Pennsylvania Dutch area of Pennsylvania. 'Sgood, though!

Get the original that goes on the stove - absolutely the best espresso you can make yourself in my books.

I just have a small Breville, but it makes a great coffee.

Definitely time to invest in another, DixieGal.

Got one of those, too. But I prefer the crema the machine produces. The stovetop espresso tends to be "thinner."

alvico · 02-10-2010, 05:07 PM

And I have a plunger, too. Can you tell I like my coffee?

Hmmm espresso not really that thick - unless you are venturing into the realms of moccha. But I know what you mean.

DixieGal · 02-10-2010, 05:13 PM

I never replaced it, because a Starbucks opened in my office building. But now I'm retired and need to get back to making my own.

Having relatives in Canada, I am quite partial to Tim Horton's coffee. Always bring some back for the plunger when I visit there and have been pleased to see a few opening in the UK now.

On the Carte Noir web site you can watch actors reading 'literary love scenes' for you, while you slurp your coffee and wipe that creamy 'tache off your upper lip with your sleeve:

I probably should have said skilly. The stovetop version doesn't have crema -- I'm talking pure coffee, nothing added. So not mocha.

Each machine does vary, though, and there are some out there that make crappy coffee.

RC cola

Best cola there is.

My cup (err, water bottle) holds iced tea. With a little lemon, no sugar. Mmmmmm.
