What type of coffee ?

[welsh dragon]

This one does for sure: sometimes at work I alter the grind to suit my taste.
We are not meant to do this, we are meant to follow the brand's doses

Good strong coffee can't be beaten.

I don't drink a lot of coffee, but enjoy it when I do. I have been using a cafetiere, grinding the beans first, but was never really happy with the result. So I've recently switched to filter coffee, made on the stove using a nice old style enamel pot and it's much better. I still grind my own beans, but when I've used up this lot I think I'll switch to buying ground. People at work recommend Illy. Is it any good?

I'm really not keen on it. It's not as good as people say it is. IMHO

I like Illy, only ever had the catering blend though, not the one you can buy in shops.

I didn't think it had much taste to be honest.

I agree. The tin is the most useful and best part of it. lol

What ever is on offer at either Asda or Sainsbury. I've got Cafe Direct, Machu Picchu at the minute and it's really good.

Local Sainsbury had Lavazza Rossa on special last week - 2 packs for the equivalent of 83p/100gm.

There seems to be a lot of love for Lavazza on here.

Lavazza Oro for me, made in an espresso machine, in a mug with milk warmed in the microwave. Not dissimilar to a flat white.
Or in espresso cups with a shot of Baileys.
Or as espresso with a decent slug of Laphroiag on the side.

Lavazza Rosso or anything Italian
Men, cars, clothes, villas , just saying
