BUT I'm going through so much milk experimenting and making Kendog hot chocolate drinks I think I may need to buy a cow!!

Anyone got any flash experimental coffee recipes, special brews or favourite brands they want to share?

[PirateJafa]

Too hungover to make cake, but I can do a Squiggle ;)

Geezus, eclairs...... shhhh :lol:
How about tomorrow? Think I've just about had as much coffee as I can handle for today:baby:

[ynot slow]

Does it clean the house as well,we'll all grab one.

After numerous crappy ones(budget machines) we seem to have one which does the job almost lol.

[kwaka_crasher]

I've never had a coffee that could even begin to inspire me to blow 799 'interest free' (yeah, right) clams on a machine to make it.

Just one bought coffee a day costs more than that in a year - it doesn't take long to get your money's worth out of it.

Our DeLonghi machine cost the best part of three grand - worth every cent...

Tomorrow sounds good - I have just managed to finally get really hooked into that book I borrowed off you and nought more lovely than a chilled out day reading in the sun :sunny:

Besides if I go visiting I might have to shower and get dressed or something :lol:

So they come with a free lifetime supply of the coffee too?

I don't buy made coffee - I did for a while to see what all the fuss was about but, to be honest, I don't think much of it at all, regardless of any claims of how many virgins have harvested and roasted the beans in some 3rd world dump.

Wow you are a real joy germ aren't ya? Hey maybe a ride will make you feel better or would you prefer a hug instead ;)

[cc rider]

:2thumbsup on the coffee emporium, Trudes

The smell of fresh coffee in the air is like seeing a pair of tight buns in jeans... makes you smile & go Mmmm!

...damn I must be getting old... I really fancy a long black :drool:

Oh & an eclair too... nom nom

[Pussy]

I really fancy a long black :drool:



A long black what???

[cc rider]

A long black what???why... drink of something hot, silly :shifty:

[Pussy]

why... drink of something hot, silly :shifty:

Just checking!! :)

[cc rider]

Just checking!! :)I'm sure you were... after all if it goes down smoothly, it has to be good. Right! ;)

[slowpoke]

I don't mind a nice cuppa cawfee but the noise of the blardy things grinding the beans is obscene. Ya stroll into the kitchen, all peace and goodwill to man after a bit o' "morning glory", and next thing ya know it sounds like someone has started a lawnmower in the kitchen and you're ready to go all US Postal on someone. So nah, a nice quiet cup of instant is fine by me.

This one came with a years worth of free coffee beans....
Hey, my money, I'll blow it how I like. :)
There's a reason I don't own any children.

[Kickaha]

There's a reason I don't own any children.

Because you had to sell them to buy the coffee machine?

[Number One]

No silly!

You can't have a coffee machine like that if you also have children in the house. Imagine if one got into the beans! :wacko: I recall Sully ones poppa asking me via text whether he drank coffee. To which I replied "if you want to give him coffee while you have him I am more than happy but please set up the video camera!" :clap:

[Trudes]

Because you had to sell them to buy the coffee machine?

Yes. Seems like a good deal to me ;)

[PrincessBandit]

Slyryder

Are they the same as chai lattes? If so Balu will be in!!! :2thumbsup

p.s. Pussy - a long black does sound better than a flat white.... but might be a bit "strong" for me hehehehe

[riffer]

LOLs. My little buggers eat Cafe La Farre Primo B beans like lollies until they're caught.

And Trudes. Sorry babe - there's only one Home espresso machine (http://www.therocket.co.nz/). Sigh... one day.

[Zerker]

Are they the same as chai lattes?

yup.
to make one you can get yourself some Chai, and use the Chai shot just like a single shot for your latte, pour steamed milk into a glass (or cup) and then poor the shot in slowly, turning the glass as you go, to make pretty swirls on the top of the milk. as you get better at it, you can actually spin the glass on the bench top.

might be worth a look, get some free samples :P

Zerker

P.S enjoy the new machine, I hope it's a good one, the not so good ones loose their appeal real quick, and become too bothersome to us.
My cheapo one got used for the first month, and then sat unused gathering dust till someone knocked it off the bench. now I'm not allowed to buy a good one, cause "You won't use it".

[cc rider]

p.s. Pussy - a long black does sound better than a flat white.... but might be a bit "strong" for me heheheheTha's too true, Princess... and a skinny low fat never did anyone any good. ;)


ps I always take my long blacks, half strength. I can have more that way :calm:

:drool: that's sexy!! Unfortunately I couldn't warrant spending that much on a coffee machine unless I drank the stuff all day long (no, must not make another coffee!!):lol:

[scissorhands]

Indian shops sell chai tea bags cheaply. Brew the tea and brown sugar in a saucepan, add frothed milk from machine, blend 50/50 and serve hot.

Try adding sugar to the milk jug and caramelizing it when you froth the milk.

I prefer raw dark brown sugars, they have good levels of vitamins and minerals.

[george formby]

Long glass half full of ice, 2 fingers of REAL maple syrup, top up with milk, almost, pour a double shot on top....

Use half milk, half cream = Late Breve, great after dinner with a baileys.

Steam hot chocolate with a couple of lumps of cadburys dark chocolate peppermint in it for a minty mocha.

Put a couple of split vanilla pods in your coffee sugar...

Damn, giving away all my secrets.....

For good, firm cappucino froth steam your milk before you esspress the coffee, so it separates properly. Great for fluffys with grated choclate.

[Trudes]

Om nom nom nom!! Thanks for the tips and hints fellas!! I have some vanilla beans in the cupboard and was thinking of giving the hot milk a wee stir with one to see if it gives it a slight flavour..... :drool: Can't wait for my morning latte tomorrow now!

[Number One]

Would make nummy hot chockie too wouldn't it...marshmellows, chocolate :drool:

Split a pod & leave it in the coffee as you drink it, when your finished give it a quick wash & dry it out again. Dip the end of cinnamon sticks into sugar syrup then into brown sugar & let them dry. Stir your coffee with them...

[Pedrostt500]

Nothing like fresh Coffee, nectar from the Gods, the key is fresh roasted beans, hook into a good supply, the robert harris muck is roasted months in advance, so looses its freshness, keep coffee beans in an air tight container, no need to chill, as long as its fair trade its good.

Yeah see I think I must be boring that way. Taste really does matter to me first and foremost. Even if it was offered to me off the chest of some smooth muscled fellow I still wouldn't enjoy the drinkin if I didn't like the drink...shit instant coffee is just that...SHIT

[FJRider]

...shit instant coffee is just that...SHIT

so why do so many drink it .... ??? :rolleyes:

I used to drink it without any issue but then I started spoiling my tastebuds with quality coffees. I am lucky to have the choice aren't I.

Old proverb ... you never know quality untill you get it... :lol:

[pete376403]

We've got a Bosch Benvenuto (which I'm pretty sure is a rebadged Jura) makes superb espresso. Beans we use are from Coffee LaLa in Coromandel http://www.coffeelala.co.nz , preferred mix is called La Bomb, going through about 1 kg every three weeks between the two of us.

Hahaha, ja, Maccona heeft meer mmmmmmm! But..............
I'll stick with my super sweet strawberry daquiri slushies for a while. Feeling pretty good right about now (and have to keep correcting my typing while i'm at it). hic!

George I am drooling right now.....yummmy thanks for the tips!

Drinking the "shit" makes me appreciate a good coffee more haha!

Old proverb ... you never know quality untill you get it... :lol:

I agree...you cant have the good without the bad to compare!!

[Trudes]

That's the problem eh, the taste buds get accustomed to quality and then you have to have less than great and what you used to think was just fine is suddenly unpalitable! I used to be so unfussy!!

[Zerker]

couple things.
beans don't go in the fridge, the moisture kills the oils on the beans.
the oils on the beans break down in UV light, keep em in the foil bag, sealed air tight in a container, last much longer that way.

only grind what you need, if you buy it ground, buy less more often or keep it sealed.

If you buy ground coffee get a grinder.... Find yourself a local roaster so you can buy nice & fresh. The oils & sugars which give you the beautiful flavour disappear within 10 minutes of grinding.

[Trudes]

The beauty of this machine is the built in grinder, which does an awesome job and you can't get much fresher than that!
