BTW coffee snobs generally the people that speak the loudest generally lack substance
at the end of the day it is like saying "what is the best wine in the world"?
Answer : the one you like.

That is an expensively wonderful piece of machinery. That one will be held in reserve on the very slim chance i ever put my accounting degree to use and start making real money otherwise it will be good old gaggia. I thought £150 was an awful lot to spend on an espresso machine but that thing retails in the U.K at just under £1000. Maybe i could sell a lung or two.

Sorry i helped turn a large amount of the discussion onto espresso. I hope you can forgive me.

Hah, about 30 mins ago I was thinking to start a box/cask wine: c/d thread in homage, but bailed. Anyway, to further derail thread, I like the boxed Banrock Shiraz Crystalz sorta ok, k?

led by circumstance into making do with a jar of grocery store brand instant, i have done research and am informed by wikipedia and the beeb that
instant still accounts for 77% of the coffee Brits buy to drink at home, according to market research specialists Mintel. In Italy it accounts for just 1%, in France 4% and 7% in the US. The UK market for coffee at home is growing and is now worth in excess of £1bn annually. Instant has lost market share recently but still dominates over the likes of ground coffee and beans.
for years when i was a kid my dad, american, kept a jar of instant in the cupboard for drinking on weekends, i suppose primarily saturdays, since he drank 1-3 cups a day at work during the week and apparently would get a caffeine headache when he missed it. (i say saturday, because there is coffee at the fellowship hour after church service on sunday.) in retirement i suppose he started drinking instant more regularly.

Several years ago at a worksite that didn't provide any coffee, I started drinking Medaglia d'Oro instant espresso. It was acceptable, compared to the alternative of driving to the nearest Starbucks. (On slower days my coworkers would collect orders for two or even three Starbucks runs.)
