Latte please garcon.

Will any F-1 team be able to surpass Red Bull and Vettel this season ?

Just wanted to thank Richard for setting up the Coffee Bar - as well as everyone else for their input. Great idea, and welcome to all! Mine's an Espresso.

BUT ! (there's always a but

)

Not being used to strong coffee, the day that DTB came to mine (with Andrew I and Mike H) with his coffee grinder and Starbucks beans we had lots of lovely, very tasty coffee.

Trouble is, that night I hardly slept, and I think Andrew suffered a similar fate.

So no coffee for me after mid afternoon.

I've just had a brew of Columbian and Ethiopian Sidamo - very nice it was too; now I've got to work off the caffeine jag.

My dearly departed mother alway's had a coffee purculater going, she loved the stuff, I did try very hard to like it particualy after 12 or more pints of bitter to try and sobber up, but sorry guy's its very strong tea for me now.

Ah Mr Ivimey,
Colombian and Ethiopian in the same pot very nice! A man after my own taste, I am on Venezuelan at present.
BTW for those of you seriously into coffee try The Algerian Coffee Stores in Soho W1, www.algcoffee.co.uk good mail order service.

I've just finished a big bag of Sumatran Mandeling from there. - been going there for years, topping off purchases with coffee and cake at Valerie's. decadent - WOW!

Yes, the good thing about The Algerian is that they have promotions on all of the time, do it's a great opportunity to learn about the origin, roast and blend of any one type or variety (blend) of coffee. Caffe vergnano on Charing Cross road is also an interesting place with exquisite coffee. Very much the same theme as the photographs posted by Richard.
