I don't know how you start your day: Tea , Coffee, Fag or what ever but what I do know is that if it isn't right, it's cataclysmic! The earth may continue to rotate but you just don't give a damn. So for months if not longer I have been putting up withthe fact that my favourite coffee - Nescafe Gold Blend has been ruined because they now include dust sludge or god knows what to ruin my morning staple. I don't know if someone thinks it a clever idea to make instant more real or a bean counter finding a way to dump their industrial residue FOC. Either way I hate it.
Matters came to a head this morning when I realised I had run out or coffee.
After much cursing and a carry on akin to a teenage tantrum, I dug out some beans, a grinder and an unused xmas present - an Aeropress. It may looks like an elephants Hemorrhoid syringe but in fact it makes a decent brew - full of flavour but with none of the harshness.
Oddly enough I found the process pleasantly therapeutic. More importantly no sludge!
So the Nescafe bean counters can count me out.
Can anyone recommend some decent beans?

I'm sorry but I am not knowledgeable enough to make any recommendation. When buying I always get No.3 otherwise the strength affects the taste and I'm never quite sure what I am drinking. I would also add the following. I have changed jobs and work more in London. The coffee machine in the office makes Expresso-Choc. Its a hot chocolate with a shot of expresso. The machine grounds the coffee etc so it takes a bit of time but it is something special. I'm more of a tea drinking and the same machine's tea is s#&t.

I am trying to loose weight so I’m really glad I don’t have access to a machine like that!

I'm a tea man so am as useful as a chocolate fireguard in this convo....... coffee, literally, makes me feel sick. I love the aroma but can't stomach the stuff. Tea, all day long, for me..... sorry I can't help
