Espresso coffee...why do people bother with it ?

My preferred brand of ground coffee has just increased in price by 30%😟

Lucky you. Mine doubled overnight when Lidl stopped doing the half price offers. Columbian Supremo is now a rarer treat.

I like cold brewed coffee. I find it much smoother than hot brewed. Bit of a faff to make though. You can do it as 1:8 coffee to water and leave it in the fridge for a couple of days shaking the container occasionally. After filtering the grounds out it’s ready to drink. However I usually make it 1:1 to make a coffee concentrate then I can dilute to taste with hot or cold water. I do like it strong.

Those 'Weekend Specials' were brilliant for Lidl coffee - at one point I had almost 40 packs of the Colombian Risaralda spread between home & work. Even now at £3 per pack it's not bad value.

Because several years of lifestyle advertising has made it a must have for the middle class.

Damn, you've sussed the advertising monkeys - !
