Water or milk first

[TRXnMe]

As above, stir the milk as the hot water goes into the mug and the lumps disolve :)

My wiffe drinks her coffee with with milk and wont drink it with the lumps still circulating the cup so avoiding them is a key skill for me :)

Tea must be boiling water, and left to steep for a few minutes, even with tea bags.

Real coffee is drunk in the TRX household on weekends only, too much fuss for the rest of the week

The method I'd suggest is to throw the but I do insist on a cafetiere.

Now that I really DISLIKE the ground bits <spits grounds outs> you get with them I totally dislike. Bit like when an t-bag splits open and you get loose tea in your mug :cry:[/quote]

I don't get any. Some cafetieres are much better made than others... Not always easy to tell until you start using them though. You definitely need one where the mesh filter comes up past the side of the plunger at least 1/4".
And they don't suit all grinds, too fine and bits will get through.

First beer snobbery now coffee snobbery.

I'm pretty sure that coffee snobbery existed way before the recent wave of beer snobbery. Or does Beer snobbery go back further than I was aware of?

The method I'd suggest is to throw the Nescafé in the nearest bin and make some real coffee

Nescafe is the Blue Nun of the coffee world. Perfectly acceptable when you didn't know any better.

I drink a cup in the morning before work and drink tea at work or other times of the day so i am not interested in going to all the fuss of grinding and making my own and finding one i like, if that floats your boat fine, the question was not which is the better coffee it was which is the better method of making it.

First beer snobbery now coffee snobbery.

And I answered your question (which I notice you left out of your quote).

I also joined in a discussion which was loosely based on your original question which had already started. A forum is a place for conversation, not just answering questions. If another conversation starts up on the back of your question, don't try and beat it down by calling those who take part 'snobs', just because you happen to disagree with them. :nono:

Calling the quest for quality 'snobby' :wha:
If you are happy in your life to accept the lowest quality available then great but don't demean others for their higher standards.

I'm pretty sure that Chippy_Tea's snobbery comment was just a bit a humour and not a dig at anyone else, so lets not get upset about it.

If you read my earlier post where i explain i only drink a cup of coffee in the morning and drinkl tea the rest of the day and could not be bothered faffing about at that time of day to make a "proper" cup of coffee you could have saved yourself the time posting that.

At the time i posted it it was, having reading the posts that followed i am now thinking it is actually the case.

I think you should rephrase that as an attempt at humour...

I'll leave it to someone else to point out the irony in that one....
