  1. I can't see why not. a couple years ago I stopped using bagged tea, got one of these https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/761530618215749509/ You will be surprised how different it tastes and no more wasting tea bags
  2. You're not alone there everyone here is always keen to help
  3. The best hot chocolate I've had was done by a friend years ago. Got to the trouble to slow cooking pure cocoa powder in milk. for around 5min then let it cooldown a bit to settle and have it. Then to go with it we had walnut cake Not sure what was best the drink or her kisses
  4. 400mA is a very strong current if nothing is running. Time to start tracing the "leak". Do the other way around. Instead inserting the multimeter on the ground side (-) go for the positive/red cable (+) Just make sure you don't touch anything you are not supposed to so you don't short-circuit the battery. How many cables do you have connected to the positive pole in the battery?
  5. You're not one of those dipping biscuits in hot drinks are you?
  6. Coffee like tea and hot chocolate thread can be interpreted as break time thread and it's name doesn't really matter and can be used as chitchat thread where I can just indulge in my silliness
  7. currently I have these teas: Green Jasmine Oolong stonebreaker mint chamomile Carqueja flower Goji berries But run out of berries tea from Morrisons
  8. Diverting a wee bit from the subject... This is just mind blowing, don't watch if you can't process the information,
  9. As long that you don't assume that there are only 2 types of tea.
  10. OOIIII!!!! Leave my tea alone @S-Westerly Not only it can be delicious it can have (proven) health benefits. Of course, I'm not talking about the black crap you brits so much love
  11. Fair due. Not everybody likes coffee similar to not every person will like pink. We all have different tastes
  12. Aye, Portuguese Lisbon born many many years ago. UK. London since 2003 Scotland since 2008 I daniken what ye mean about my scot accent
  13. Get matching decorations, that's what is missing...
  14. When I say espresso or "bica" as it is known in my country this is what I mean A very strong usually short shot of coffee with a 2mm layer of creamy foam. These small cups are usually filled to 2/3 for a normal espresso and 1/2 for a short one. The care cafe shops go through to ensure their espresso is the best is quite extensive. Usually the cups, sugar packets, grinder, espresso machine and coffee is supplied by the manufacturer. There is normally a contract for the supply and maintenance. There is a very fine tuning of both the grinder and the espresso machine to produce a good quality espresso and this is done at least once a month being the top quality places services every week. Make no mistake, if the quality is not very good customers will walk away to the cafe next door. It is normal to have 3 or 4 cafes together in healthy competition so we do have plenty choice. Lastly espresso in Portugal is like facebook and Instagram, is the reason for people to get together. This for work, leisure or family gathering.
  15. Imagine a bar where if you want to talk about something else you would have to go to another room...
  16. Huh a private room just for coffee
  17. Yes @S-Westerly espresso is really an Italian and Portuguese thing. Although other countries have adopt it and make pretty good ones too.
  18. And to think that years ago Britain would have the best coffee Was when you guys succumbed to the americanism of instant coffee that you ruined it
  19. There is a huge difference between coffee and Portuguese espresso Every time I'm visiting Portugal I binge on espresso, "bica" as it is known or "cimbalino" (pronounced with s) up north in Porto. Is the instant coffee that I stopped having
  20. Well.... Now I feel cheated. I don't drink coffee. But I take a lot of abuse here. Even worse when I start winding up people...
  21. This guy explains it
