By the way, whilst in correcting others mode (Telemachus on another thread) I should mention that 'putting ones oar in' is the correct spelling. Oar not awe. I understand it is historically a naval term. But I knew what you meant, as I'm sure you did Rog

But of course it could have been a deliberate mixing of metaphors!

I hate queueing behind people in coffee houses that want (basically) a frigging trifle, whilst I'm waiting for black coffee. The names of stuff in Costa and the like are mind blowing. It strikes me that they once tried coffee, didn't like it, so decided to add milk, cream, marsh mallows, chocolate, hundreds and thousands, and finally sugar. I don't know what it tastes like but it can't taste like coffee. Rog one of my sons drinks that glutinous mess of caramel calorie ridden whatever..it looks disgusting.. Now and again I do opt for strawberry milk shake minus the milk powder/ice cream and cream and made with skim milk but thats only because if my stomach is having an anti coffee phase, it settles the pain.

Decided to drag my arse out of bed ten minutes earlier today and make a brew instead of juice, popped some beans in the cheap blade grinder and smashed em up then stuck my stove top on the hob, five minutes later a lovely dark balanced cup was on the table, mrs even tried it and enjoyed it, first time she has drunk black coffee and enjoyed it!
Tomorrow i will take the grind finer as this will give it more depth and strength, take the grind coarser and you get a weak and sour taste.
Need to fall in love with coffee again after a couple of years away.
