CARTE ME OFF

Advantages: The TASTE!
Disadvantages: May give you migranes, Quite strong and aromatic.

...Okay, lets face it, we're all familiar with Nescafe, and it's maddeningly numerous amounts of coffee, all varying in content, taste and character... Though that's not always the case, never mind... Forgive my ramblings, and lets look at some delicious Carte Noire. THE AD ------ Okay, just a quick comment on the advert, as I presume there's another section to write about the advert if you want to. Basically, it has a woman talking to David Ginola, who is of course turning on the style. She gives out some words such as "Dark and Aromatic" and he thinks she's talking about him. She's talking about the coffee of course! THE JAR ------- The jar is tall, black, and scary looking. It has the logo of Carte Noire, with Nescafe easily visible for those who are brand monsters... It is designed as a posh little label at the top...

Carte Me Off To Caffeine Land

Advantages: I never paid for it
Disadvantages: Non-Platypi Steve may complain I been drinking his java

...Non-Platypi Steve may be c**p at shopping but I will give him this, he does buy decent coffee, and what?s more he leaves it here and then goes home !! Yay !! So here I am with my extra large 20oz Costa Coffee mug and it?s filled with steaming hot Carte Noire all thanks to non-Platypi Steve. Shhhhhh ? Don?t tell him I?ve been drinking his Java !! Okay now normally I don?t buy Carte Noire because this stuff just isn?t cheap when compared to Nescafe and the other night when both non-Platypi Steve and I were in Tesco in the early hours of morning I got 300g of Nescafe for less than he bought 200g of Carte Noire. Still I?m not complaining it was after all his money and not mine !! But I?m drinking it anyway !! I know that the price is actually rather cheap when you consider how much you can pay for a coffee in a coffee shop...

pure a la carte

Advantages: Luxury with the sun
Disadvantages: Dont offer then worldwide

...Thompson A LA Carte is a brand that Thompson offer they more upperclass customers. They offer you are great number of hotels and services to pick from. Which stretch across the Europe. The hotels range from a 4T to a 5T (T is what Thompson use to rate holidays but you can get the offical rating in any of the Thompson holiday books) The things that you get that is totally different from any of you usual Europe holidays are -Once arrivaling at your chosen airport your taken to your hotel by taxi tranfers none of this coach transfers. -Your baggage allowance is automatically be increased to 20kg which is 5kg more than you would nomally get. -You also get the choose of a fresh basket of friut, bottle of wine or fresh flowers on arrival. -The thompson reps are on site all the time as they are asigned to that hotel which is...

I've had better chocolate ice creams than Carte D'Or

Advantages: Looks attractive, gives a sense of luxury
Disadvantages: Chocolate taste overpowers the white ice cream, awkward lid

...I have just - finally - managed to finish a 900ml tub of Carte D'Or Chocolate Inspiration ice cream that was bought some time ago and has been lingering in our freezer for some time, being ignored in favour of other flavours of ice cream that have much more appeal in my mind. Although I am well known for my love of chocolate and also recognised to be particularly fond of ice cream, this offering from Walls just doesn't work for me. The first point of difficulty I noted with the ice cream was the tub. For some reason, these fancier (and more expensive) one-litre tubs of ice cream seem to come in more glamorous looking tubs than the standard, Walls Soft Scoop, square two-litre tubs of vanilla and I am not sure why. The Carte D'Or tub is one of those too-rounded-to-be-a-rectangle shapes which features an irritating, "breakaway" plastic tab...

Review of Carte D'Or Chocolate Inspiration

My caffeine fix

Advantages: Tastes great
Disadvantages: just an instant coffee

...To continue my story about instant coffee I went back to Sainsbury?s next day and I took care not to buy a further decaffeinated coffee again. I wanted to buy Carte Noire again because I like its taste. I subscribed for a free sample and I received a sample of Carte Noire instant coffee for 3 days every morning. They convinced me. So I took care to avoid the black jar with greenish label. I bought a jar containing 100 g of instant Arabica coffee for 2.92 pounds. That one wasn?t on offer but I think it is very good value for money. When you open the jar you find that it is sealed with a foil. After opening it you can feel the nice coffee scent. Well it is nice for coffee lovers like me. I completely understand when someone doesn?t like coffee, well I love it. The jar contains medium brown granules. It looks exactly like...

Review of Carte Noire Coffee

Strong hose - but how does the cart go?

Advantages: The professional yellow hose is very robust
Disadvantages: If the snails get to the instructions before you do - the cart will never get built!

...Well, we moved back to Wales, and got a garden, so my kind loving husband (fiancée at the time) said we go for the "best" the Hoselock Through flow hose and cart, with the yellow professional hose (rather than the green hose). So a trip to Argos and the best of £50 later, one hose and cart (in pieces). - Purely for watering vegetables and a few flowers I was growing for our wedding. I was keen to use it, so we unreeled the long hose and it just reached to where we needed it. It got moved around the large garden we rented and put up with being pulled and dumped in a heap and plenty of rough treatment - whilst the cart rested in the box, and rested and rested. Then it was winter - and oh dear the instructions had been eaten by the snails and slugs... We moved to our smallholding, and our hose was about 15 months old. We didn...

No.1 Storage Cart (Lap tops)

Advantages: Storage stable frame
Disadvantages: No Breaks on wheels

...This is a great storage unit for any classroom lab or office if you have many laptops, the cart is made out of a strong steal, and is built on four trolly wheels witch are good if you want to store your cart 'out of the way' the strong top of the cart is stable for computers, laptops, projects ,ect. so your cart could be used as a desk or table. the storage is superb as you can store upto 16 laptops, and have the option to charge them too. alround the cart is realiable as i house my computer on mine, and is still as strong as when i got it. its also easy to move, and easy to charge your laptop(s) from it. The only thing i would improve is the wheels, although the make moving the cart easier, that some times the problem in my situation as i have my computer on it, and over time as i continue to use it, the trolly keeps moving...

Ptes can go in the little cart

Advantages: good play opportunities
Disadvantages: none

...I have just received the Playmobil toys that I ordered for my granddaughters Christmas present, she can?t read yet so I feel pretty safe writing a review about them. The first pack I shall tell you about today is the Pet transport. This set?s RRP is £5.99. So as you can guess it is only a small set. Included in this animal transport is Two Playmobil children one girl in a pretty dress with a sun hat on the boy has the number 4 on his t-shirt and is wearing a hat too. They have a little cart which is green with some chickens on it. There are 3 animals to, two brown rabbits and a hedgehog. There is a little plastic box, just the right size for the small rabbits to sit in. There is a little bowl to give the animals water in too. Now this set is rather cute. My granddaughter likes animals and shares ownership of rabbits...

Review of Playmobil Animal Clinic Playset: Pet Transport

FANCY SOMETHING RICH, CLASSY AND HOT

Advantages: Lovely rich aroma and smooth taste, tastes like filter coffee but ready in an instant
Disadvantages: none unless you don't like coffee

...I first tried Carte Noire when I visited the Ideal Home Exhibition earlier this year. They had a promotional stand and were offering small cups of coffee to sample there and then as well as handing out money off coupons and small sample packets to take home. As I had enjoyed the taste of the samples I decided to put the money off coupons to good use and when I next needed to purchase coffee I chose Carte Noire instead of my usual brand, Nescafe Original. I have done a bit of research on Carte Noire coffee and have detailed below a brief history about the range. In 1978 Frenchman René Mannier created the 'Carte' range of coffees consisting of Carte Bleue, Carte Rouge and Carte Noire. However, Carte Noire wasn't launched in the UK until 1996. Carte Noire is made using only Arabica beans, the name Arabica comes from Arabia...

Review of Carte Noire Coffee

Decaffeinated coffee for a coffee addict?

Advantages: tastes good
Disadvantages: not as good as an espresso

...Those who read my reviews regularly probably know that I am a coffee addict. I am lucky that I have low blood pressure so I can drink it without having a very high blood pressure. My highest is still normal. Lol Anyway the other day I went to Sainsbury?s and I found that Carte Noire instant coffee is on offer. There was such a big -25% label there that I haven?t noticed that this coffee doesn?t contain caffeine. I drink coffee because I would like to be able to stay awake with my very active kids. So I went home happily that I solved a problem: how to prepare myself coffee without waking up my light sleeping sons by turning on the 15 bar pressure espresso maker. So I was really happy until the moment I discovered the little label on it saying decaffeinated. I prepared myself a coffee anyway and I was smiling because it came into my mind...
