How (not) to make coffee

Ye Gods woman, throwing away coffee!!!! Normally a capital offence, however, I do understand as it is very hard to make coffee before you have had coffee.

We all have moment like that. Make coffee for DH, make Bovril for me. Put milk in both coffee and Bovril (because both are brown, you see!) ?‍♀️. Pour Bovril down sink. Switch off autopilot and start again!

Oh dear I suggest going back to bed for an hour at least.

Def go back to bed and start the day again

My H's method for an instant coffee for me.
Put kettle on, reach for small mug on kitchen windowsill into which I have poured surplus chicken fat the night before.
Add coffee , hot water and milk and bring to me while I am working.
Express complete surprise when I splutter and spit it all over my papers.

Lol. My son is coming next month and he uses one of those very old coffee percolator things that you put on the stove and it comes up from the bottom - when we were face timing the other week it looks so battered I commented on it but he said it's the only way to make coffee. He'll be disappointed at my Tassimo then I have an induction hob so cant find one of his sort that works on it!

Those coffee pots are great Willow they brew the best coffee I have tasted.

Put my cereal in the dog bowl the other morning?

Willow500 I use a Cona which is made of glass and works beautifully on my gas hob on a very low heat. Don’t think there is an equivalent for induction hobs.

The orange juice is in a very similar container to the milk (first thing in a morning without my glasses on) coffee with added OJ is not recommended.

willow Amazon do sell these coffee makers for induction hobs as I found them when I was thinking of buying. Try an Amazon search for "coffee percolator induction"

Its wednesday nonna if it where me this happened too ..it is always wednesday it happens

1. Place cup on Tassimo base
2. Put the Coffee Pod into correct position
3. Close lid
4. Push button
5. Wait few seconds...
6. Drink
7. Repeat at regular intervals throughout the day

Tassimo ad on my tablet now.

Exactly Mymm, so darn easy.

Joking aside I drink my coffee black and absolutely hate it when someone pours boiling water from the kettle directly on to instant coffe. Nothing wrong with instant coffee but not burnt.

Everything wrong with instant coffee! We don't even keep it as it goes rock hard before it is used. So simple to make real coffee even for one in a small cafetière. And those who use Tassimo or Nespresso machines, please tell us you recycle the pods. There are thousands going into landfill every day along with the Starbucks etc. single use plastic cups.

I don't like fresh coffee. I only like instant.

Very strong instant coffee first thing in the morning to get my eyes to open.

Phew,glad it’s not just me!we only have coffee at breakfast time so do like our ground coffee, but always keep some instant just in case. Yes, it does often go solid in the jar though.

I prefer instant too, but must have the milk in before the boiling water. Just tastes so much better.

To make coffee in coffee maker.

1 Place filter in machine. Add ground coffee.

2 Pour water into the top container.

3 Switch on machine.

4 Do some general chores

5 Come back to have coffee, to find the equivalent of four mugs of coffee cascading across the worktop, into the drawers, down the cabinet fronts and seeping across the floor.

6 Swear. A lot.

7 Spot coffee jug sitting on the draining board, not in the coffee machine.

See if you can find a stainless steel plate for putting on your induction hob under pans etc. that otherwise can't be used on them. I bought one in Belgium, it is about 30 cm in diameter and has a handle, so it resembles a completely flat griddle for baking Scottish pancakes on.

That way you can use various things like a glass cona on an induction hob.
