BYC Café

Morning and thanks for the coffee!
That is a lot of work and the house is looking better already, DL. Impressive!

 

[Perris]

it's still the cheaper stuff.

Cheaper than Illy no doubt! Lavazza is about £4 for a 225g bag here, which makes it significantly more than domestic brands, for example, but I don't even look at the Illy anymore - my taste buds aren't worth it .

Good morning cafe. Thanks for the coffee Shad.
DL your making me tired looking at all that work! lol

I need to paint some trim and cabinet doors in the lake house.
But don't have the energy till something is done to fix my heat issues right now.
Hopefully soon.

That little falling flat on it's face dude is me without the surprised expression!
Little hairs on my head keep tickling my face and freeking me out. I think it's ants!

I hate ants too! nasty little buggers!

I dare not ask how much the Illy is that my daughter sends me. I just say thank you and enjoy it.
To be honest, I drink Illy and Lavazza out of habit. There are plenty of very good coffee brands here.

There are plenty of very good coffee brands

indeed there are. I like trying new-to-me whatever, so we've tried lots over the years, and most are decent or better. But Lavazza have kept the fine grinding that is better for filters, unlike most of the other firms here, who decided to stop making separate grinds for filters and cafetieres and produced something that supposedly suits both. It might suit their cost base, but it does not suit filters; it's too coarse to get the flavour in the time the water takes to flow through it. So as that business practice spread across the ground coffee business, we found ourselves more and more restricted to Lavazza.

I knew there had to be some advantages to being male.View attachment 2216208

How are the Lost Boys Peter?

Thanks for the coffee, Shad. I can't drink mine black. I just don't like it that way.

Especially since he's putting out the CHEAP stuff!! Must adulterate that
Actually I've never heard of the brands he and @Perris are discussing. Could be better than anything we have here for all I know.

Good morning Cafe.
Thanks for the coffee Sour.

Heavy showers blustering through here. My garden thinks it is autumn Mushrooms coming up all over the lawn and the parrotia persica is beginning to turn for its colourful display - but we're barely 3 weeks into summer The extraordinary spring has set some things forward by months, it seems. I hope it doesn't impact badly on the wildlife- the housemartins have only just got their nests built!

The temperature here yesterday was 91F Today says 86F Hopefully it will not be over 100 soon!
