Costa Coffe et al is weak milky rubbish right?

This coffee was proper! At last visit anyway...

I have had my own wee coffee machine for years. Got it as a wedding present from my work colleagues about 21 years ago. Works brilliantly for lattes as it has a steamer attachment rather than a gizmo for stirring the milk. Have used it at least once a day, every day since I got it and I would be devastated if it broke. I normally use Morrisons own brand coffee but as they had none in the shop yesterday I bought some Taylors of Harrogate. I would hate to work out how much I would have spent in Costas or some other place if I had to pay for it.

There was a programme on Costa a couple of weeks ago.

The average annual spend of a Costa customer is £450.

Many customers admitted to spending around £2k a year.

Being picky but why does most of the British nation think it's called Expresso?!

So annoying!

I think of espresso as coffee that is passed through one of those group heads under pressure. Expresso to me is a small cup of strong black coffee with good creme on top.

I get a morning kick from a coffee machine in the local spar, I have found that when normal black coffee says the cup is full there still enough room for an extra shot of expresso to liven it up a bit.

Getting proper pangs from reading this thread. I've been drinking instant since my cafetière broke.

Just bought a cheap macchinetta to give that a go (can use it at home and out and about) and might get a proper benchtop job if I want to do clever milk stuff.
