Coffee machines - how do you make your coffee?I that sounds like I was a few years ago but I decided that I needed to cut down on my intake, making cup after cup, sometimes up to 20+ cups a day, took some doing & now I'm down to 2 very large cups. My daughters buy me coffee for Christmas or birthday which goes through my grinder.ViewDate:

Coffee machines - how do you make your coffee?I love my coffee & don’t find ‘instant’ hits the spot, I drink mine black with no sugar. I have tried a number of ‘pod’ machines & whilst they give you a reasonable cup, it does cost an exorbitant amount to brew yourself. I have tried filter & caffietiers but I find that I make to much or use to much coffee bean. I now have a ‘NINJA’ machine & use Asda’s own coffee at around £1.25 per pack. It makes coffee exactly how I like it, will make a number of sized quantities from a small cup to a flask full. I have tried a number of other coffees in the machine, all have made a very good cup, just needed to adjust the amount of ground coffee used. The only other requirement you need to buy are filters but they are not that expensive. I’d recommend the machine to anyone.ViewDate:

Foreign foodI think you are missing out on a lot of delicious food. If you do the cooking why not make some of the food that you will come across when travelling? I don’t go much on rice but I love paella & make sea food paella on a regular basis. Go on surprise your partner with a new recipe of something she would never expect.ViewDate:
