Re: my mum must be weird?
My mum loves coming over for a coffee. She now finds it difficult to drink instant.
Im tempted to set her up with a machine and grinder but worry shell struggle to use it and just give up.
Will soon be picking up an old Cimbali Domus I got for $20 off the bay this week. If that cleans up ok may give it to her along with my EM0480 which is currently sitting under my desk here at work.Comment

Re: my mum must be weird?
I hear your.
My parents are the same and so are my wifes parents.
Although they do enjoy fresh coffee that i make them they just like the ease of the instant.
I guess for them its simple, easy and its no worse than what they have been drinking as a standard for years.
I know i will never change mine so i dont put the effort in to try but rather know that when them come to my place they only ever get the "real" thing.

Re: my mum must be weird?
Its not all that weird, my mum loves her blend 43 also. She grew up on it and thats why she loves it.
I dont mind a bit of instant every now and then myself either.Comment

Re: my mum must be weird?
Same with a friend she put 3 heaped teaspoons of sugar in a double ristretto I made from some rather expensive beans, didnt finish it and then told me her Nespresso was better.
I nearly threw her over the balcony.
Anyway I just resigned myself to the fact that she is swayed by gimmicks, but is entitled to her own opinion and taste regardless.Comment

Re: my mum must be weird?
Or... Return the compliment and when eating dinner or snacks prepared by Nespresso lover, request a can of Pal and some stale bread instead! If you do follow through however you may need the shot of Nexpresso to take the edge off!Originally posted by 4F4853585E56515F3D0 link=1269824476/7#7 date=1269839715Comment

Re: my mum must be weird?
I have managed to convert one or two diehard instant drinkers over time and then there are the ones that I just leave right alone... ;DComment

I understand that it is now possible for children to "divorce" their parents. Just do it and the pain will go away.Originally posted by 6C79687D6E1C0 link=1269824476/0#0 date=1269824476
Im sure there are lots of parents out there who would love to be adopted by a CoffeeSnob child.

Re: my mum must be weird?
Count me in! My parents and even my siblings prefer instant coffee. They all prefer Maxwell House or Tasters Choice. I guess its really just a matter of taste huh. And I guess they find brewing fresh coffee a hassle.Comment

Re: my mum must be weird?
Im willing to forgive older people for nescafe and other decent instants... but when they say Internation Roast, thats a whole other story.Comment

Re: my mum must be weird?
My mother was one of those instant people before i lived with her for health reasons.
Now she cant drink the stuff anymore and knows a good cup from a bad one. She almost can guess what SO im using now.
Oh! And i have taken her from a weak white with 2 girl to a double restretto with one
;D
