Can you imagine the indignity?

When offered coffee at a meeting yesterday, - unthinkingly - I accepted and said 'yes'. It transpired that Nescafe was why my hosts had in mind.

Sigh.

I left that excuse and sorry apology for coffee in its cup, resting on its saucer, and sipped water instead.

Standards, don't you know....

Enjoying a late night cup of Kenyan after getting back home from Davos, tastes great.

Ah; enjoy your Kenyan coffee - as I am sure you will - after Davos.

About to use one of the SS Mokas that hasn't seen use in a while. Some strong coffee, aside from the espresso here and there, is a welcome change.

Well, as I have seen from/with/by my Italian colleagues, little beats an excellent espresso made with a Bialetti moka. Do enjoy.

For those readers in Canada, www.greenbeanery.ca offers all manner of espresso, coffee and roasting paraphernalia as well as roasted and green beans. It is where I get my green beans. I do recommend the sweet marias site for general roasting instruction. I have a small manual pump espresso machine meant to be used while back packing that has really let me learn the tamp and the grind. For my day to day machine I have a gaggia automatic machine that has done a great job for me over 5 or 6 years now and is very convenient, although maintenance can be a bit tedious.

A cup of Earl Grey with warm milk and sugar with a slice of carrot cake.

This morning - having arrived home - I had a lovely mug (Le Creuset) of Ethiopian coffee.

There is very little Ethiopian coffee and as my brother seems of have consumed most of it - I have been away for the past four months - but I think he missed this tiny package.

Never mind. I have a/the perfect excuse to head out and purchase fresh coffee this afternoon.
