I decide to count how many coffee beans it took to make my doppio ristretto piccolo latté.

Slow day Greg?? ;D

Wow. Go Greg, go!

144 beans short of an excellent coffee

Greg can you think back to a being a teenager and remember how many tea leaves in a teaspoon and how many grains of sugar in a teaspoon? Betting you you did that too.

And to be a fair comparison you have to use the amount of Nescafe to make two cups of coffee. Perhaps dissolve two teaspoons of Nescafe in a small amount of water, then pour half down the sink and dilute the remaining conc up to a full (small) cup. Im sure it would taste so much better.

So really they are only 101 beans short. ;)

Nope, not a chance.

Yep, almost...here

I have always wanted to know how many coffee beans it takes to make a double shot and now i know thank you very much

;D is this the madness I have to look forward to?? At what stage of my journey can I expect these behaviours to set in?!

very soon....................... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Well just to throw everyone out NesCafe doesnt have 43 beans in every cup it was the 43 blend they designed and tested that came back with the most positives, as a instand its not bad, but for coffee far from good

Hmmm.. I beg to differ.
The ad campaign from years gone by specifically said:
"43 beans in every cup"

It used to be Nescafe 43 and a number of years ago was re-badged "Blend 43". Same sh!t, different label.

Now, whether it was true or not that there were 43 beans in every cup, who knows, but that was the impression they were trying to put across. 43 beans of your finest, cheapest robusta, liquified and re-dried into soluble yumminess. Matter of fact, I want one.... NEVER!
