A good Coffee negates any need for another one in the day, regardless of how it is made and looks.
x10 teaspoons of coffee
x9 teaspoons of sugar
Pour milk first, so as to not 'burn' the coffee.
Add medium warm sometimes cold water in Summer, so one can skull the coffee and be done with it as the 'hit' kicks in immediately.

Well it kinda comes to my reasoning Subby in much the same way as I have x10 teaspoons of coffee. I drink Soy milk though - I love the cardboard taste.

As soon as I skull my morning coffee,I'm like: Five days ago Peanut man was here, but now he's gone!!! Shocked

I’m not sure what I will feel like later as breakfast …. I have brioche hot cross buns that look inviting. About mid morning with my second cuppa coffee maybe.

I’m never hungry upon waking for at least an hour or more. Despite what “break fast” means…

I was looking at the online menu for brunches at the Chocolatier and ask family members to go with me… none are interested… wowsers! Tell me I’m not to go to chocolate places… (I do have an addiction to chocolate) but I protesteth that they do have meals there too! Grin

PS…. I might sneak over there during week and will take photos of the place

Ssshhh secret squirrel….

I travel 70Kms every so often to where my bank branch is, for things requiring actual attendance there. There is a shop nearby where they sell some nice chocolates. I buy a big pack and buy some fudge as well and limit myself (at least 95% of the time) to two chocolates a day with morning coffee. The fudge allows me to stretch the chocolate supply.

The coffee was the first made here in my barista machine. Not really a success—the little demitasse cup is too narrow to catch both streams of coffee and the actual coffee not really suitable to the machine, dammit!

Coffee set, bone china etc. Think a lot of people are trying to sell stuff so bargains abound. The set in the photo is made by Crown Derby and has “Made in England” on the base, so made after 1927 (I think, 1920s anyway.) Look for something hand painted—much more valuable.

I have made and drank tea with Mum out of cups and saucers over 200 years old. Was a slightly weird experience.

I tried drinking the tea out of the saucer as they would have done back then (and even George Orwell recommended in WW2 (“A nice cup of tea” I think the article was called) but wasn’t happy, too used to drinking out of a cup.

The saucers were like bowls‚a smooth flat bottom with the cup sliding around on the saucer.

I used my barista machine for the first time in months. Not 100% successful—that nice coffee I bought was really meant for a french press or drip filter. Nice to use it tho.

BUT

the machine is for two cups and a small demitasse cup is too narrow to capture both streams of coffee.

it's a fail. A good coffee should have a thin golden head on it.

What is a thin golden head on coffee ?

Coffee is topped with an oil film. Typically the thicker the film the more bitter the coffee. This is a big part of the coffee taste difference. Depending on taste a good coffee can be anywhere on that spectrum. My preference is for a mild tasting non bitter coffee. I am not sure what you mean here.

That's one very dirty keyboard and of the two photos I've seen of your table. It's style is commonly found in homes of Housos. The style that Salvos, St Vinnies and other Opportunity businesses no longer accept as donation to sell.
You still have the crumbs on it from last month.

To laff. Ignoramus!

I won’t tell you what wood it is made of but kinda rare. The extension table cost over $250 from an antique shop.

“Housos” whatever they are would buy a cheap veneer table from Salvos. I guess the sort of table you have?
