I've tried that Milicano and Azera stuff and make no comment for fear I'll offend. I find it perfectly tolerable for drinking at work, I'm drinking Azera Americano now and it's a decent emulation of the real thing. The funny thing is, our coffee machine takes ground coffee and makes a worse drink than the above! It's no good being a coffee snob at work! |

Costa is tolerable but much prefer Cafe Nero if there's no better option. I would say that Cafe Nero makes a marginally better coffee but Costa makes an appreciably better Mocha. It's the chocolate that differentiates them, the Nero is too sweet. |

It's no good being a coffee snob at work! Is liking good coffee being a snob? |

Agreed. Some people unfortunately seem to believe that doing anything well, or liking better than average products, is a sign of elitism / snobbery. I think it would be real snobbery only if you drank good coffee not because you like it, but because you want to be seen doing it.

Funnily enough when I took my grinder and whole beans into work everyone took the piss out of me at first, then I found people kept being nice to me and saying, "Any chance you could make me one of those Tim?" My fan club soon grew after they had tasted it and nobody took the piss out of my coffee after that  |

Thanks for the grinder tip Tim. I actually have 2 aeropresses - one for work and another we use at home for making a good but quick cup during the first thing rush around in the mornings before work. We take one with us when we travel but up to now we have just bought a sachet of grinds when we get there. I type this while sitting in a Burger King with a cup of so-called coffee! Only here for the wifi! Oh scary, Burger King coffee is revolting, probably one of the worst I've ever tasted! |

Oh yes!
Then, I go back to the office and make myself a nice cup of monsoon malabar in the aeropress which makes life seem a whole lot better.

The more serious question is WTF were you doing in a Burger King Chris?

I go there because it's the nearest place I can get wifi during my lunch break. A 99p cup of ditch water is the entrance fee.

For good coffee at work (where the replacement coffee machine is better than its predecessor but still dispenses overspill tarmac from the M3 roadworks), and where I only have a kettle in my office (before Tim starts recommending £800 worth of professional kit), I have found one better than Kenco Millicano. It's Nescafe Azera and it's bloody nice for an instant:  I boycot anything by Nestlé, and you should too. |

No, the food is worse than the coffee. I wouldn't eat that, not even at gunpoint!

I like a good burger, but not fast-food cardboard. Coal serve the best burgers I know and they're so popular that I have to book midweek to get a table on a Saturday. They make a great Long Island Iced Tea cocktail during happy hour, too |

Me too Barry, I have not consciously consumed anything from Nestlé for years now.

The odd Double Wopper can't be that bad for you can it??? Put it this way, the harm it will do to you is debatable depending on the rest of your diet. The harm it does to the planet/environment is well proven and documented. One thing that's for certain though (ask any nutritionist), eating one isn't going to be good for you  |
