The phrase 'fancy coffee' puts me off


It's coffee, that what it is. What's fancy about 'coffee' these days?

Really? I thought the problem was more usually that some contemptible curmudgeon would leap onto the thread, without thought to the outsourcing zeitgeist, and go banging on about a generation of self-entitled preeners who've never learnt to drink proper coffee, let alone make it, and how, if they had any appreciation of the environment, farmers, food miles, sustainability, the value of money, orang-utans or colonialism, they'd take a good hard look at themselves, salvage some recyclables, make themselves a grinder and a moka pot and go stalk squirrels for their acorns.


But maybe I'm wrong.

OK here's what ya do.


Buy a small coffee machine. De Longhi (other brands available) which is big enough for a small household, learn to use it well. Endless videos on YouTube (other channels are - who am I kidding)

Buy the best coffee of your choice, milk etc

MAKE IT to YOUR taste. With demerara or mollasses or white or syrup of your choice of flavour, and cinnamon or chocolate dusting or just heavily clouding on top.... And put it in a big MUG not a bloody glass which is nuts given I like my coffee HOT and I like a handle


Drink in the comfort of your own home without endless mindless yacking surrounding you as people talk on their phones In Important Voices and rarely to one another, on your own comfy seat / bed. Oh, and the company's better too. You will find that in about 3 months you will start saving money assuming you have a coffee a day.* You could also make a flask of the stuff to take with you but now I am sounding truly ancient. You can't put a good coffee in a flask dammit Rose! But having made it to perfection and begun to resent the fact buying a coffee is more expensive than beer, and beer is about 70% tax (or is that petrol), that someone somewhere is getting royally ripped off and it might just be you.


And now for my SECOND big mug of my favourite at home. :D


* Someone below will doubtless work out the true maths.

Jeremy even young I was not very socially competent. Oh, and I am not keen on crowds which is a problem when going to music venues..... (Went past 12Bar other day btw.) Hence being a biker. But I love coffee. Talking of which: Coffee time!

    • For reasons not worth going into, I am looking for a Jean Michel Jarre vinyl record that has Rendez Vous 4 and Magnetic Fields 2 on - so probably a greatest hits version. Cheers
    • This is my second recommendation for Leon of Electrical Initiative. He came today to fit two LED light fittings to my flat. No easy task as the wiring is about 30 years old, and the kitchen wiring was connected to the bathroom lights (for some reason). So the job was partially repairing my botched removal of the old strip-light fitting. "That's not so bad," said Leon, as he climbed his ladder and fitted a little connector and soon had the bathroom light back, then he fitted the new kitchen Lepre, and then the one in the living room. All in less than an hour. Thank you Leon!
    • We have had lots of young foxes in our street this year, very cute. We haven't been subject to them Shi**ing all over our garden as our dog owner neighbours have. They seem to be marking their territory. They were quite fond of my car roof (soft top) I boiled up some garlic and regularly spray my roof, it keeps them at bay and my car smelling like roast garlic mmmmm🫢
    • Highly recommend Andy (Andyman services). Really good communication, punctual, reliable and very personable. He did a really neat siliconing job in our bathroom. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again. Andy - 07564194363
