Cal, looks like you stopped just short of putting a lime in there!

 

[Cal Weldon]

Hehe.
I'm not sure I could drink it if those were combined.

 

[paul burchell]

Milk, regular 2% no coconut or almond or lacteze or any other trendy blend ,just milk over ice and maybe a big bag of covered bridge chips and a oh henry for breakie at 4am.

 

[chrisb]

big difference between coconut water and milk - I think lime in the former would be fine - along with a dash or two of gin, of course.

Tesco cheap coffee, not a patch on Nescafe.

This morning it was a full glass (250ml) of Kefir.

Home made with a "seed" imported from Russia, It has been going for a year now and we propagate it like Sourdough bread yeast.

I love the sour taste! Kefir is becoming available in the UK in (so-called) health food shops, but they seem to think that British taste buds need strawberry flavouring and sugar! Disgusting!

After that my only coffee of the day: A large french bol of cappuccino made with the equivalent of 3 shots of espresso, ground seconds before from oily dark roast Guatemalan beans. And frothed milk.

I am still using my 10 year old Gaggia manual machine and rather enjoy the ritual preparation.. My SO hates it.

 

[Jim the Oldbie]

Which Gaggia do you have, Cliff? I had a modified Classic for a few years, it made great espresso.

 

[cliffforrest]

Like this one - I have bits of four parts donors in the garage! Same internals as the Classic.

As you say, excellent espresso and a sensual crema! - but grind must be near pulverised.

The UK market has moved on to pods (convenience!) so these go for £50 ish on ebay.

Several species of skimmed milk and yoghurt is sold in Sweden. There are special kinds that have added special bacteria that are supposed to have a positive effect. Those products are sold with the word HEALTHY in the name, but HEY! a product with 10% sugar - healthy!? No way!

I love kefir myself, and I think it is obtainable in our shops - no "fruit" added however.

Chokl ... damn you Dudeman.
Bought a bottle of Sicilian Nero d’Avols, great wines for those who want tasty wine but not want to use a spoon to .... drink it. This one was called Zensa, and to be honest, a bit to light.
