Anyone interested in cup of coffee?![]()
I don't think I'll ever order "art-coffee". It seems like such a destruction to drink it
A song to go with that: I alone I really like that cover![]()

I wouldn't like a cup of cappuccino right now but that face reminds me too much of Morgan Fairchild's somehow so find it a little creepy.

Hmmm I don't know. I think it looks kind of cool. I wouldn't drink it, though...
Though it got me curious...
Amazing, isn't itI myself really like to drink coffee, but I've never visited a place where they serve it like this
I guess it is not that big where I live
I wonder whether there are special bars for this kind of art, or "just" an extra service at some restaurants...
Probably both.

I discovered the greatness of a new instant coffee recently. And surprisingly enough its a nescafe! Parisien Blend. Smooth like a filter coffee.

instant coffee, yuk.
At home, we drink Polish coffee since we visited Poland a year ago. Coffee and sugar (if wanted) in the bottom of the cup and put boiling water on it. A little like Turkish coffee (don't say that too loudly), but less strong. It stays hot for a very long time due to the boiling water and it has a different taste to normal filter coffee. Though you do have to remember not to stir too vigourously just before drinking and not to drink too deep or you have a mouth full of ground coffee. For the rest, though, it is great. Never anything else.

I do like instant coffeeI do drink less of it than of normal coffee - but then again I drink a lot of "normal" coffee
Not sure why... I think I just don't like instant coffee that much - though I don't think it's "yuk"

Then it is probably because I need a proper strength in coffee to be satisfied. Instant coffee is always too weak for me. It must be that.![]()

Then why don't you just put more powder in the cup? That makes it stronger... Not sure what the saturation point is though...
I do think there is a difference in tastenot just in strength
But then again, every brand is different
I don't always taste that difference though
. Expensive coffee isn't really something I can appreciate...

Instant coffee? Ugh, it's like drinking dirty water.
I'm sadly one of those people who stops by Starbucks 2-3 times a day, I'm obviously addicted, and too lazy to brew my own.
Oh, believe me, I have tried to put more powder in the cup. Still came out too weak, and I put in nearly half a cup!Just didn't want to become any serious coffee...
Starbucks. Ugh.
The secret to cheap, good coffee, is looking whether it is 100% Arabica. That is the same as those Italian brands like Lavazza, but from a house label it is about a third of the price, yet totally the same. You wouldn't know it was any different. And then they pretend to sell some coffees that are essentially mixed crap for double the price. For the people that have access to Kaufland in Germany or Eastern Europe: Kaufland coffee Classic is very nice. And it is only 1,49€ for 500g. (sorry, am I allowed to say that here?)

Starbucks... They've recently opened some shops here (I think there are about 5 in our country) and I ain't crazy about their coffee. I did like to put shots in it (hazelnutsyrup for instance), but for some reason they've taken that of the signs?! You know, those signs above the counter where they list all the coffees you can choose from? Now there is just a choice of standard coffees (latte, cappucino) and if you want to customize your own you just have to know what they have. I do not understand why they do not list their syrups anymoreSo since they've changed that, I'm boycotting Starbucks
. Plenty of other coffee shops here, with better tasting "regular" coffee
