Work Drink - coffee replacements???

[Time Waster]

I have decaf instant at work and full caf at weekends.

Back at school we'd have brass instrument lessons as a group of three, me on french horn, a pal on tenor horn (a brass band instrument) and another on trombone. After one rather poor showing our dryly sarcastic teacher said "time's up. I need my coffee break ... though after you three I need a whisky break!"

Anyhow, hope this helps as an alternative to coffee

Regarding our teacher, I thought he was great, but others did find him a bit much.

I happened to notice when in the Co-op earlier that Twinings do an Earl Grey decaf. Having one just now. It’s very pleasant.

Earl Grey is an acquired taste and I have never been able to acquire it!

Get used to drinking water. It’s good for your body.

Indeed. Or get a cordial without artificial sweetener if not concerned about a little sugar

Honey instead of sugar makes the world of difference iirc.

At work instant. At home instant and bean. We grind then brew.. My partner prefers stove made I use aeropress, however I've never managed to make a coffee the same with an aeropress yet. Every time different from the last.

I got some swiss water filtered decaff from booths and it's pure watery nastiness. Not got any food decaf beans yet..I think booths do another decaf I'll have to look again and try it.

There's a Bosch machine but I'm guessing the pods aren't cheap.

If you grind your own then the decaffs from these are brilliant, they taste far better than a lot of full fat coffee from elsewhere.

I'm on their 50/50 at the moment.

Already done: TMN to @potsy!!
Edit: for the BR incomers: TMN is an in house joke, for when folks post but get ignored.

Camp coffee. Easy to store and use. A good change esp in winter.
