Not suitable for the gîte of course, too many coffeess to make, but I like the idea of a Charles Atlas muscle-building course as part of a daily coffee roune.<br /><br />I usually drink decaff coffee to avoid the cold turkey, but every so often I weaken and go for the caffeine. (Like this morning because I need to wake up and I'm recovering from a cold) The periodic vile headaches that result get me no sympathy at all, since it's all my fault.Mark In Mayennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14987723233401368368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130463693430089737.post-17501246093472697222009-10-16T06:17:08.100-07:002009-10-16T06:17:08.100-07:00Ah... coffee.

It has two levers that you push together, Charles Atlas style, to force the water through the coffee. Very macho and even more fun than drinking it. However, it gets laborious if you have a lot to make.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10412300721454784537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130463693430089737.post-494080550891836342009-10-15T23:40:39.534-07:002009-10-15T23:40:39.534-07:00I have to agree that the smell of roasting coffee ...I have to agree that the smell of roasting coffee is so much nicer than the taste.<br /><br />I remember that when I as a child went shopping in Southampton with my parents, there was a place that roasted coffee towards one end of the high street. Near to Mayes department store. I always remember that warm toasty smell.Mark In Mayennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14987723233401368368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130463693430089737.post-53282906413753002022009-10-15T12:35:38.010-07:002009-10-15T12:35:38.010-07:00I never knew coffee machines were so complicated.....I never knew coffee machines were so complicated... personally I can't stand the stuff, though it smells nice.
