Most good coffee machines are programmable for grind, strength etc. I have a Saeco machine too, and after some fine tuning I turned my "4" into a comfortable 8.5/9 out of 10. Crema and all.QUOTE]


You took the words out of my mouth. I have exactly the same situation as yours and visitors always comment on how good my coffee is.
I use Zarraffas 'Java Gold' blend beans.

I love a good coffee, but it makes me feel really heavy and lethargic later in the day, whereas water keeps me going. I dont drink coffee much, because it doesnt boost me, it drains.

Drink a lot of coffee in my line of work.

"Free for a coffee?"
"Let's grab a coffee"
"What coffee should i get you?"
"Have you had a coffee?"
"Want a coffee?"

Coffee Coffee Coffee.

Cant beat good espresso, so long as whoever is making it knows what they're doing. Apart from lunch, which has really gotta be a FUIC/FUSIC. I'll drink instant, perculated, turkish, whatever.

Love the stuff!

Nescafe Gold's not bad for instant, but it's still nothing on proper coffee.
That said, starbucks is terrible. They run their shots for far too long, and they don't taste right anyway.

Freshly ground, gf works at a rather nice restraunt in town, with a fairly well established coffee/ cafe during the days. bring me home a nice flat white any day, one sugar, if the bean is sweet enough you usually don't need it. and i'd say a cappucino but generally you get all froth, i want thick creamer, not froth.

I heard on ABC radio yesterday that a study in the US found that some ingredients in coffee (not caffeine) could prevent diabetes.
Now for that Latte...
cheers

Definately start the day with a Hudsons Latte.... extra shot of espresso.

Coffee is great, average about 2 cofees and a can of coke or 1 cofee and 2 cans of coke.

Additives.
Coffee, Milk, No Sugar (except with instant 1/2 a teaspoon... its dreadful)
