Re: Coffee Time
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. 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?

Re: Coffee Time
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.

Re: Coffee Time
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.
