Coffee Anyone?

[naomi24]

Head for a little place in Mayfair.  Only £265 a cup.

They sell two or three cups a week - but for the less discerning they do offer a more affordable coffee break at only £70 a cup.   Starbucks anyone?

More money than sense.

Just give me a mug of instant

I wonder if Camp coffee is still available?  It was enhanced with chicory.

I tried it a while ago.  It's ghastly!

[barry1010]

Yes it is but I'm not sure 'enhanced' is the right word

[SpudMurphy]

Do they still make Camp coffee, it came in a bottle, and was enhanced with chicory?

Sandy, are you swapping between devices?

[retrocop]

Yes they do and an acquired taste. I have a bottle in my kitchen and also a replica enamel sign advertising Camp with a Sikh and a Scottish soldier brewing it up in the Crimea.

[barry1010]

It is now called Camp Chicory and Coffee Essence, but it's the same stuff.

Could a Mod close the Spud Murphy account?

I opened it so I could access my sandyRoe password.  No longer need it .

[barry1010]

Sandy, I've suspended it.

oh god I thought this was civet coffee

and the making it in front of you is to show there is no hanky panky. I did wonder if they brought up a civet and made it 'do it' in front of the customer. Big thing is Viet of using pussy cats as substitutes - cheaper more profit

Naomi, you might like a £25 cookie to go with the coffee -

^^^I wonder if it's now £30...that's 2 years ago.

The cookie did look big. Not big enough though!

I've never been to a Costacoffee or anything like that.  Should I hang my head in shame?  I've looked, but they seem awfully expensive and, besides, I'm not all that keen on coffee. 

When I met Mr. J2 in France and we went out for a meal he must have reckoned that I was economical on the wine (he was wrong) because one of those little black coffees at the end of the meal had me dancing on  the table, metaphorically speaking.

I'll have the odd latte these days.............Starbucks also strikes me as expensive, not that there is one round here. 😄

as long as it helps you live longer, I'm sure it's worth it.

Come to think of it, I had a coffee on Okinawa about half a century ago, and here I still am. And that cost a four-figure sum.... about 1000 yen.

of course if you're really thirsty, this is what you want. All free!
