Caffeine may or may not speed up your metabolism too iiric.

Working among the coffee makers at john lewis (and selling them) the best affordable machine is this beast at £150:

Can put out boiling water out of the frother too, for tea :ahoy:


But yeah i actually kinda like fucking about with the stove top job, makes it all the more satisfying.
However finding a leakproof vacuum flask without a handle that i can chuck in my bag is proving difficult :(

And obviously I'm an avid tea drinker too! Aside from carpenter i am rather fond of white, green and yellow. Spesh in the eve.

For instant cba to make proper coffee

I have a variety of proper coffees (beans and ready ground) but seldom bother to make it. Btw, you can put the powdered stuff in the freezer, lasts longer that way.

A trough of Lapsang Souchong is also very delectable.

I'll have to try that, if I can find it.

My first coffee on work days is usually a latte from Pret, being my personal favourite coffee place. Someone said Nero was very nice but there's not one on my way to work. What's your favourite coffee place?

A latte in the morning is my choice too, we have a proper coffee machine at a little kiosk thing in our cafe at work so get it from their as it's cheap (£1.45 for a large) there is a Starbucks on our business park but rarely go there, only if we fancy getting out the office and someones else is paying.

The rest of the time I go for whatever's nearest, with a preference for Costa, Nero etc. over Starbucks

These past few years, I've only been drinking Latte. I no longer appreciate fancy coffee drinks. Maybe that's what happens when a person ages. Then again, I'm only 20-ish. Hahaha !

They're the first stages of Sky-net.

Once it's figured out a way to fully ape humans then it'll start domination of the Internet.
