    Had my folks over from the UK in october just after I got Miss Lucy.I was pouring 200ml gushers down the sink and my dad was complaining that I was wasting it!He drank it.
    Lacehim,

    Perhaps our in-laws are related? Mine recently did exactly the same thing. Crap coffee goes down the sink, IMHO.

      My mother is the same, she prefers her instant as real coffee makes her feel ill whereas Dad loves one of my caps.

      Its funny I can live with people drinking instant.  I never will but what I hate most is gloria jeans flavored beans!!!!!  Ive never really tried a coffee from them but the smell is enough.  Coffee is coffee.  People that add syrups and flavors to it are spoiling it.
      As much as a "coffeesnob" that I am now I dont agree with that.
      I wouldnt use their beans again (did before I knew better) but I think coffee can be enjoyed many ways. I love both a plain cap as well as a nice mocha.
      My coffee cupboard has a big selection of cocoas and syrups, too much added can be sickly but just enough can be quite nice.

      Its like saying any beers other than the mainstream beers such as VB and Carlton arnt beers at all. There are many different flavours and combinations of ingredients to make different types, everyone has different tastes, not saying youre wrong but I just dont agree.

        Id have to agree wambesi, to each their own when it comes to flavoured coffees and syrups/powders. Some of the flavoured beans are good, but my tastes have swung towards enjoying the bean and not what is added to it. But every now & then some syrup or cocoa powder mixed through is just as enjoyable in its own way as a SO bean is.

        But...instant when there is espresso ready to go...*sob*

          I dont look down my nose at those who prefer instant, however i dont allow that terrible stuff inside my house.

          I have enough of an issue with my missus putting vanilla syrup in the lattes i make for her (although to be fair, she has to use soy milk so it probably needs some flavour to mask the terrible soyness). ;D

            My wifes mum only drinks International Roast, and thats got to be the worst. She goes through different phases to pep it up, sometimes shes using powdered milk, sometimes sweetened condensed milk - she loves it. ive now gotten to the point that I love going there and having whatever shell dish up, and I go back for more, i have heaps whenever Im there. I just think of it as a coffee drink thats packed with caffeine. Its got tonnes of the stuff in it - I get all jittery and annoy my wife all the way home.
