If it's instant it has to be Carte Noire (and Coffee Mate) at home. For "real" coffee I'm rather partial to Taylors' Hot Lava Java, but I do like my coffee to resemble black treacle. :lol: For something a little bit different it's Sainsbury's Fairtrade Viennese.

The best coffee I've ever had was at a coffee shop called Scandinavian Embassy in Amsterdam – http://sprudge.com/scandinavian-embassy-58021.html

The only problem being now that I can't find coffee that comes anywhere close.

Are you sure that they didn't slip something stronger in it? :obscene-smokingweed: :obscene-smokingweed: :obscene-smokingweed:

The 'coffee shops' in Amsterdam are legalised marijuana sellers. Mainly for tourists. The Scandanavian Embassy appears to be a rather good restaurant which I will try to visit next time I'm there.

Never touch 'weed' myself. I need the coffee to keep my head clear - not something to muddle it up. :roll:

Coffee makes me feel ill and gives me insomnia, Tea is definitely my favourite. In fact I'm putting the kettle on now while listening to some tunes! ;)

As for weed I think it's boring, only tried it a couple of times. :naughty:
