edited to add - Does coffee have a use by date, cause it's at least 2 years old. Laughing

I don't drink the stuff either but keep it in for visitors.

I've had a jar disintegrate into a treacle-type sludge in the bottom. Apparently still tasted ok once mixed up with boiling water. Less-so after it went green hairy mouldy. I don't know what they're complaining about, after all they drink coffee that's been picked out of cat-shit.

I now keep the instant coffee jar in the deep freeze between visitors because it's expensive shit to be going green and mouldy.

You want this:

It is one of the things, other than cockroaches and the SNP, that will still be around when the Atomic Holocaust is finished.

I like coffee. I buy Nescafe Azera, its the only instant that tastes any good I won't drink generic instant I'd rather go with out or have tea. Before Azera I would brew my own with an aeropress, it's nicer than the azera but 10x the faff.

Coffee is only expensive if you get tarty ones. I'm pretty sure a black coffee is ~£2 in most chains, probably not much dearer than the tea.

FFS man!

Fresh Bean, Fresh Roast, Fresh Brewed coffee is a thing from the Gods.

Why are non-coffeeists even allowed on the forum.

You can take your tiny cup of the foul smelling, bitter squeezings of burned then boiled ground cherry seeds and keep it out of my general vicinity.

Real men died in the battle of Waterloo to defeat the evil forces of coffee drinking and let honest tea drinkers prevail. Think about that. You may as well grow a silly moustache and run around the place in a yellow vest or get a job as an air traffic coontroller then go on strike.

There are a few fascinating examples of this. 'Market forces' having a direct effect on nature.

How cum no fucker cares about bananas? Eh?

The Bananas we all enjoy today is a genetic strain introduced when the bananas we all enjoyed years ago were wiped out across the world by a plague the commercial banana had no resistance to.

People easily forget the exact same thing happened to coffee too.

We farm these 'commodities' on an industrial level which demands that the plants conform to international standards.

The single strain grown is eventually beaten by nature.

Think of how today's banana tastes when the next commercial bananas hit the world market.

Blackened-Skin Banana splodged over a toasted ootsider and Lurpak.

They grow a different species of banana in Medeira and while they CAN export them, EU conformity rules mean they are classified as such low grade, no one will buy them. Perfectly good bananas, only smaller. Taste pretty much the same, slightly sweeter if anything, quite resistant to blackening of the skin and just the right size for a daquiri.

New one today: The MD mentioned that he has a Garmin golfing watch but he also has a long sleeved Under Armour shirt. If the cuff covers the watch the GPS doesn't work due to the metal flakes in the shirt insulation. If that isn't the epitome of First World Problems I don't know what is! ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, ~~Honda Rebel,~~ ~~Yamaha DT175,~~ ~~Suzuki SV650 (loan)~~ ~~Fazer 600,~~ ~~Keeway Superlight 125,~~ ~~50cc turd scooter~~
