What's your favourite cuppa

[mic-d]

ATM it's "Billy Tea", but 've had phases in the past when it was one of these: Earl Grey (used to think it was dish water), Russian Caravan, Prince of Wales. Don't mind Arctic Fire, Lapsang Souchong and authentic Japanese Green tea for a change...
What's your favourite cuppa?

Ethiopian home roasted, 2-5 days old, finely ground on large diameter burr grinder, then used within 20 seconds in a large group lever arm espresso machine. (Apparently I have become a coffee w*nker :eek: )

Or a hot chocolate from Koko in Melbourne (They use melted Belgian chocolates as their base! :) )

[fred.n]

[Buzzer]

Daintree tea (good Aussie tea)

[Wongo]

[Termite]

Vittoria Italian blend coffee, or chinese "iron maiden" black tea.

[CameronPotter]

Try Merlo coffee, it is Australian and very nice (better than Vittoria in my opinion).

As for teas, not a big tea fan, but I am getting into peppermint tea a bit.

The one my wife brings in to me in the shed at about 10:30 Sunday morning, just as i have decided to stop for 5 and have a break. Or the one that comes in a brown bottle and is cold and foamy, which is brought in at 5ish to tell me that it might be time to stop using the power tools, and start to clean up....

Oolong tea

Hot chocolate:
Take a large mug and fill with 1 tablespoon "Callebaut" cacoa (Belgian) a little bit of sugar, some chunks of good chocolate (Lindt 85% Cacoa is a good one), pour boiling water over and top with a generous measure of rum. Leave out the milk (just dilutes the chocolate flavour) and you definitely don't use cheap cacoa (has no flavour) or worse still "drinking chocolate" (it's mostly sugar).
Enjoy :)

Mick - Chocoholic (reminds me, gotta stock up on the Callebaut)

Home made flat white, or ditto at Coco Bean in Pakenham - beautiful coffee.

They want $50 kilo for beans tho' :eek:

Scooter, if you have a good grinder you should try roasting your own beans. You can get great beans for $16.00/kilo or less. Roasting can be done in a drum on the BBQ, or in a cheapo popcorn maker, or in a colander with a hot air gun. Takes 15 minutes or so, and after a day to settle, you will be in coffee heaven. The beans really peak in flavour from day 2 or 3, then fade out to stale crap after a week. Grinding makes them go stale in less than a minute, but you need a really good espresso maker to make the most fresh coffee.

Even $16.00/kilo is outrageous though, as the farmers are lucky to get $5.00 of that.

Gregoryq, agree with the home roasted, have done a bit in the popcorn maker. Few early duds but got the hang & did it for a while, but only bother occassionally now.

Mostly buy the ground stuff from the supermarket, either Coffex Superbar or another, Oro I think it's called.

Can remember the first roast I tried in the oven, stunk the house out :D

Yeah, $50 was pretty funny, not sure whether he was trying to scare me off, finance his early retirement, or a bit of both :rolleyes:


Cheers.................Sean, second crack ;)

Teas: Russain Caravan almost any time, Jasmine with chinese food, Earl or Lady Grey occasionally, English Breakfast.

Instant coffee: Nescafe Alta Rica, the only one that actually tastes like real coffee.

Chocolate: Vittoria Chocochino, and love a really strong Ovaltine once every now and then (even better still leave out the liquid and just eat the powder).
Comfort drink: Warm malted milk - great at bedtime excellent comfort food. Yum http://www.ubeaut.biz/zzzsleep.gif
