    Doesn't explain why the darned stuff gives me a stonking great headache though... Decaf: just say NO! X|

      We just have had some clown mixing filter coffee with the instant coffee, not in a cup, but in the instant coffee's container...

        That's ok - I never drink instant. I found I drank less coffee, (and it tasted better) if I drink fresh. So I have kept a single cup plunger in my desk at every job since. You'd be surprised how many people will complain to management about the standard of works coffee when you make the real stuff in front of them... :laugh:

              Why does anyone drink the stuff in the first place? I mean coffee is the means, not the ends. Actually I have no idea what it tastes like, by now I've drunk enough coffee to fill half the Mediterranean, never had decaf.

                :laugh: Flavored decaf can actually taste good. I mix 50/50 with hazel nut decaf and regular Columbian for my morning coffee since I usually have 2 to 3 20 ounce cups and do not need that much caffeine any more. Also the process of decaffeinating beans is done with steam, pressure and CO2. Well at least that was how the discovery channel explained it when they toured the one large plant in the US that does the bulk of the decaffination of coffee beans for the whole country.

                              What is this "decaf" you speak of, there are coffee beans that are ground and then placed in the machine, but I know not of this "decaf" you mention.

                              People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it's safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs

                                The coffee is as good as the ground you put in.
