I agree with Paul, coffee smells nice but I don't like it. I prefer a hot choc!

Coffee rocks, but unfortunately I have only found one public place away from home where I like it black. So away from home I order cappucinos.
At home I grind the beans from the coffee bean shop in our coffee grinder and then make a small, strong, black and sweet coffee in the espresso machine. Yum yum yum.
For some reason caffes just make crap coffee. I don't know why it's so crap. I'm sure that's why a lot of people say they don't like the taste of coffee. McDonalds 8 hour old brewed coffee tastes better than most espressos.
In case you're wondering, the good place I was refering to is a middle eastern bakery. The Lebanese coffee (which seems to be identical to the Turkish method) there is usually very nice.
BTW, I think instant coffee is dog's bollocks. I only drink it when I'm at work, I have run out of plunger coffee and I really need a caffeine hit (proper sleep or more exciting work would remove this need).
When I had my first stint I didn't mind black instant too much. But after a week or so the aroma started reminding me of urine and the taste was getting to me.

Tony you need to try some Merlo coffee from our cafe`next time your up.
I am real fussy with fresh coffee and find we get people who will go right out of there way from the highway if they know there is Merlo coffee on hand.
Real coffe is like fine wine and need to be made the right way or it is bitter .
I had to do a coffee making coarse before we used it in the cafe and it is a real art form to make properly .
It was after all the coffe used by the Australian guy that won the world cappacino compitition last year.
You can get it in Fortitude Valley and it is roasted fresh each day.
Drop in to Merlo and have a taste test you won't be disapointed.
