Now why didn't I think of this?

at least its recyclable  ::)

2.5 litres of Starbucks coffee....no thanks, I'll just take the carton instead.

I finally got onto that site. I couldn't connect prior to tonight. Recyclable? not only the carton, but the coffee too, if you drink it, right into a bucket. Who in their right mind would want to buy coffee like that? The Nescafe drinkers?

One-a-day

I'd buy it but only from Gloria Jeans  :P

Really?  I've never had a decent coffee from GJ's, ever! ACG

One-a-day

totally , it amazes me that people will never have a decent coffee from many places due to their bar being set too high

askthecoffeeguy

Really?  If you want to drink dish water, please, go right ahead!

GJ Revesby, fast and tasty, not good but not bad, just coffee.

One-a-day

Exactly its just coffee not "dish water" as some would like to say.  I'd love to limit myself to only going to one special place which serves liquid gold in 24 carat gold jewel encrusted vessels brought to you by vested virgins but I wouldn't. I'd rather have a go at everything out there instead of living with my head up my ass.

c'mon, man! It's Newcastle.. you only have to walk into most places and take a look at what's going on with the coffee before you quickly decide not to order one.

mmm...have to say i'm with ACG on this one... i don't want to drink just average, and i'd go just about anywhere if i thought i was going to get a truly excellent shot. dR

You know what... with some relatively inexpensive equipment, used well in the right hands, it is possible to make great tasting coffee at home, as well as if not better than many cafes are serving. Me, I'm a healthy sceptic, I like to think that most cafes mean well when it comes to their coffee service, then I see the way that many places make their coffee, and I think to myself: I could do better than that at home for a fraction of the price. Of course, a well made coffee is a thing of wonder, and joy, elevating both the maker and the consumer to almost a divine status. I quite happily go to about half a dz places around Melbourne, where I know that the staff and owners care enough, and are passionate enough about the quality of their coffee, to share their enthusiasm with their customers. And where i know I am going to get exemplary coffee and service every single time. If I wanted to feel like and be treated like a lessor mortal, or a second class citizen, or if I just plain didn't care about the quality of the cuppa that I was consuming, then I would quite happily go to some multi-national, production line, low quality toss pot, and drink the acceptable swill that they have to offer. Unfortunately though, i have higher expectations, and more lofty and noble ambitions. ACG
