Costa Coffe et al is weak milky rubbish right?

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

Seems loads of people think Costa Coffee is good coffee! :lol:

 

You gotta be kidding me! It's horrible; weak, milky, no rocket fuel in it whatsoever.

 

They need to get a mocha pot and some proper fresh beans on the hob!

 

Have the British beeen duped into thinking that's what even a latte should taste like?

 

And they have the ckeek to say "saving the world from mediocre coffee".

 

What a joke.

Those serve yourself costa ones in the petrol stations are the worst warm weak coffee.

I agree, costa is clean rotten, such a disappointment! I have a nespresso machine, does the trick.

Before you use a petrol station Costa machine open the big door at the bottom to see how the milk is stored.

Some of them have the milk in a massive bottle that just gets topped up. Therefore, rarely emptied and cleaned.

Be careful.

Costa can make a good coffee just depends on the staff. Since the initial boom alot of these places have gone down hill and lets face it if you are doing a 10 hr shift at minimum wage would you really care if you are making perfect coffee.

I could never claim to be an expert but I think their flat whites batter than a latte and have found Costa's far better than the other chains, allways get em to chuck an extra shot in if its too milky.

I had a nero a couple of weeks ago well worth avoiding. I think it depends on the shop always get a good latte on oxford street in London.

Senior Management avows nobody make coffee like me.

(This may of course be a cunning Ploy, as I get outta bed at about 06:05 to make it!)

Anyway bought a "Ranchillo" expresso machine and matching grinder after using a few cheapo expresso machines to death.

Mostly whatever No5 is on offer, generally in Sainsburys.

A triple (& perhaps quadruple?) expresso into a large mug of hot milk.= breakfast.

The stuff from any franchise is pure dross in comparision.

I do know they are chuffing expensive, ( Exeter Services, 2 coffees and 2 muffins £9.50 eek) avoid them like the plague, if we're on the road we try for proper cafes to get proper coffee
