Coffee tip.

Here's a wee tip if you are making instant coffee at home...don't add milk, pour in some evaporated milk.

If the milk had evaporated surely there wouldn't be anything left?

Feck off you...

PS Gallery is working OK again, so you can add photos. If you get stuck PM me.

Ignore them LR, it is the only way to drink instant coffee. Fortunately I have a coffee machine and an OH that likes to play with it so get froffy coffee but try to stick to only 1 a day.

Well you may as well have it with condensed milk then

I've had it a long time and their are better ones about today. Too much coffee is not good for me anyway.

Don't add boiling water, let it cool for about 30 seconds as you will scald it.

How come them italians use steam, All the noise and plenty of chrome ?,

We are getting a coffee machine for Xmas. Any tips on makes and models please

The best one we had was from that cheap little kitchen shop as you get to the top of the escalator at Carrefour. It cost just €34 and was used daily for almost 3 years. The one we have now is good came from Megacentre and cost around €70 and is a Delongi Veneto

How many cups a day would you drink Gypsy? I was having 3 or 4 a day up until a few weeks ago and suddenly I was awake half the night. Cut it out completely and sleep pattern returned to normal almost immediately.

2 absolute max 3F one on a morning and then maybe one on an evening if home. If out I will always have a barraquito at the end of a meal but they are only tiny.

You need less sleep the older you get - Mermaid and I were emailing each other at 2.30am the other morning :What?:

Bought some coated, roasted coffee beans the other day. Just eat them, lovely.

Thanks Gypsy, that looks like it has hot and cold sliding doors etc. Does it make fuzzy milk? I was something that you don't need a degree to operate and is easy to clean, also mus'nt take up the whole kitchen. We don't drink much coffee but like a good cup when we do

Cru it is quite small I would say only takes up about 12" of kitchen worktop. The water goes in the back. Yes it has a steamer so makes frothy milk. It must be easy to use cos OH doesn´t have a problem, his toy, his job, I just wait for breakfast in bed !!

My daughter has one of those fancy pod ones. I am still waiting to sample a coffee. She only drinks Hot chocolate, she doesn't like coffee lol

OH says he just wants a coffee maker, does'nt want fuzzy milk or anything fancy like that. Looks like we will be looking at basic models then. Just want one with a permanent filter though, maybe a timer.

We had one of those pod ones in UK, the pods are expensive, which is why we did not bring it out here...
