So how do you prefer it, and how do you normally drink it.

I prefer it percolated.
But I normally drink it instant.

Although I have a caffetiere which is better than instant but not as good as percolated. (Having a cup now, that's what made me think of it).

On the instant side I prefer dowe egberts International.
Having some free trade blend at the moment, and I have a rich African blend ready for when that's finished.

I live percolated best, but can never be bothered and end up with instant! :(

I am the same, and if I'm out I spend far too much money on lattes from Starbucks.

Möllbergs Blandning, percolated - proper morning coffee that. It would even get t020 high.

but for daily abuse I drink CoffeeDirect. Which is actually pretty good for something that "is almost but not quite entirely unlike coffee" - to parapharase Adams.

Gimme expresso - black no sugar - though with ginger biscuits any day!

I love coffee but there is always something I've wondered about.

when you search through the shop shelves for coffee you very rarely see Brazillian coffee.

Brazil issupposed to be the country for coffee and when I can get it I really enjoy it but finding it is another story.

Can anyone explain why it is not stocked in the shops?


Happy Supping!

Ooooh, I voted instant thinking I would be out of vogue, but it looks like I'm in the majority.

Can't beat a nice cup of Mellow Birds and a Digestive.

Have percolated at the moment at work (on a customer site).
Don't know what blend it is, but it's good and strong.

It has to be espresso.
It takes less time than instant when you use the old fashioned coffee pot on the stove.

dowe egberts either instant if in a rush or caffetiere.

Very very strong with milk. Totally addicted to it have to have at least 3 cups a day have about 10 on a weekend though.
