Yes, just #include <stdio.h> and you'll be able to call printf(). :-D Your english is excellent in my opinion. :)

Poor bastard, has no one ever told you that there are literally 2's of solutions to that situation that still avoid instant chemical coffee like substance, use a french press or one of these: http://miniminit.com/[^]

Im not a big fan of instant coffee but this is drinkable. I dont know if it is available overseas though. I have taken a vow of poverty. If you want to really piss me off, send me money.

I have found that those "french plungers" (reserve sexual connotations for the soapbox please) are a pain in the ars* to clean. And they tend to leave significant amounts of fine sediment. I hates them! Others obviously disagree. I have a simple funnel with base from "House of Coffees" or similar - this sits on top of your mug and takes a normal 1X2 or 1X4 coffee filter. Use hot water from the kettle. Simple, easy to clean, etc. There is a similar device which takes a circular, flat filter paper, about 8cm in diameter. Avoid it like the plague, for 2 reasons - first, it is impossible to make a decent quantity of decent strength coffee (paper gets clogged after about a quuarter cup!), and second, it is a pain to clean (unlike the funnel design, where the ground coffee only comes into contact with the filter paper, with this one the device itself gets coated with crud.

I can recommend Kenco too. I go for the "Really Smooth" variety (in the red jar), but you may want to try the blue one ("Really Rich") as well.

Douwe Egberts instant is good. Better still - almost as fast as instant coffee is a coffee maker like Senseo. It can make two cups of filter in the same time it takes to boil a kettle. 'Howard

[Paul Watson]

Wow and the Senseo is pretty cheap too. Thanks Howard. regards, Paul Watson Ireland Feed Henry! K(arl) wrote: oh, and BTW, CHRISTIAN ISN'T A PARADOX, HE IS A TASMANIAN!

Firstly, the key to a good coffee, is a good coffee machine - I recommend a Gaggia coffee maker (a model that will grind coffee beans). If you can't afford a Gaggia machine, go for the alternative - a coffee grinder and a cafitere. Secondly, abeit a possible myth, keep your coffee beans in the refrigerator - apparently, this will keep the beans fresh and make for a better cup of coffee. As to were you purchase, Starbucks is good but you can't seem to order online with them. Having said that, I prefer coffee from 'Has Bean' http://www.hasbean.co.uk - you can buy both coffee beans and equipment. Thirdly, some head-ache tablets - in case you drink too much coffee ;P Hope this helps

5065 is as good as it gets in instant coffee. Try putting the milk in first, this way you get a kind of froth thing going on. Chief Nerd RPGXplorer

Thanks Anurien. I just gave that tip a try and it works well, gave a thicker texture to it the cuppa. regards, Paul Watson Ireland Feed Henry! K(arl) wrote: oh, and BTW, CHRISTIAN ISN'T A PARADOX, HE IS A TASMANIAN!
