    Coffee is bollocks anyway, you want to be drinking tea and not that arty farty Ear Grey shit. Good old Tettley or PG Tips is what you want :lol:

    Umm, you poo-poo instant coffee and then give the equivalent in tea? Tetley and PG Tips are the tea equivalents of instant coffee, i.e. shite for lazy people who don't know real tea ;-)

    Pilão, União (Pilão Premium), Pimpinela Golden and Nespresso (of Brazilian coffee) is the way to go.

    I'm sure you can buy it anywhere.

    Sorry still barcode - my nieces and nephews are black. :p

    Also - my sister pretty much is my twin. She's just a little shorter, and a little slimmer. Facial structure, body type, hair cut...

    ...all really similar.

    ...take that as you will

    I wouldn't reccommend the Nescafe/Kenco base coffees, spend a bit more and get something nice like Douwe Egbert's Pure gold. I do remember having some Kenco gold something or other a while back which was really nice. Also got a jar of Nescafe collections: Alta Rica atm, which is nice if you like your coffee darker.
