Cup Of Coffee Mate?

Advantages: A quick easy way to a creamy cup of coffee.
Disadvantages: Nothing major

...a lot. When you look at the tub you are in no doubt about the contents. For starters the tub is coffee coloured , on the front is a steaming hot mug of coffee that looks inviting and the steam rises from the mouth of the white china mug to form a heart shape. Nestle have put their logo and the product name right inside of that steamy heart. The cardboard tub has a light golden plastic lid that just pulls off and inside there is a layer of foil that has been put there to keep the Coffeemate fresh until you start to use it. So what sets Coffeemate apart from ordinary whitening agents. I always have a can of Marvel in my cupboard, when it is reconstituted it is brilliant for sauce recipes and I also need Marvel to use in my bread maker. But if you put it into a cup of coffee it does just whiten the coffee and no more, its far more bearable...

What Price a Cup of Coffee? 400 Souls

Advantages: well packaged, readily recognisable on shelf, great taste, fab aroma
Disadvantages: unethical marketing and sourcing with pony show responses that lack true substance and action

...support this unethical practice. To date, no such lobbying has occurred. ~~~Okay, but what about the Coffee I am Supposed to be Reviewing?~~~ The coffee has a delicious aroma upon opening the jar. It has the same gorgeous welcoming smell of fresh ground coffee as it begins to brew...Mmmmmmmmm! The smell remains all the way through drinking the cup, too, something that is rare and unusal with instant makes of coffee. The taste is smooth and silky, without the bitter aftertaste usually associated with instant coffees. It blends into the hot water without clumps and does not leave a nasty coating upon the spoon. Milk mixes in easily, and afterwards there is not an odd film upon the surface, like you get with cheap quality coffees. Make no mistake about it, this is a premium coffee, and very tasty. It is rich and fullbodied enough that I...

Review of Nescafe Gold Blend Coffee

Coffee in a one cup bag.

Advantages: Convenient
Disadvantages: Not as good as filtered or cafetiere

...I recently received a free sample to try of the fresh ground coffee in one cup bags. It is a convenient way of making a cup or mug of fresh ground coffee. They are made in the same way as you would make a cup of tea via the bag in a cup method. The instructions that are provided on the pack are that you place the bag in the mug. Pour on freshly boiled water and leave for 3 to 5 minutes. Adjust this time according to taste. Remove the bag and serve. You can serve with or without milk, with or without sugar. The bag itself is about twice the size of a tea bag and is round in shape. It contains 7g of ground coffee. The coffee used is a blend of both arabica and robusta beans. It is contained in individual foil bags to seal in the freshness. They made an adequate tasting coffe and as is important these days they are...

Do you fancy a fresh cup of Coffee ?

Advantages: Fresh Ground Coffee
Disadvantages: Can be pricey compared to others

...Bodum first started in Denmark in 1944 and it was not until 1958 until the first French Press came to be on the market. They have sold over 50 million of these products worldwide and they are now very well known in the uk mainly for their quality. I do not know how old my friend thinks I am but a selection of perfumes for Christmas Pressie is not my cup of coffee so back to Boots whence it came and I got a refund on a card. Talking of Coffee, my favourite drink, I was mooching around Boots thinking what could I spend this on and the sale had just started and I came upon this shelf that had Cafetieres on it. On the shelf, all the Cafetieres had been reduced and I thought brilliant, I will put extra money towards a Bodum Cafetiere as a Treat. There is no packaging with this, you just buy the product straight for the shelf. When...

Review of Bodum 8 Cup Cafetiere

12 tiny cups of coffee!

Advantages: Cheap, perfect for a small kitchen!
Disadvantages: says it will make 12 cups of coffee but will only make 3 decent sized mugs or 6 small cups!

... Cookworks Coffee Machine Introduction Me and my husband love coffee, and drink it daily. We used to have a café tier, you know the little glass things which you put ground coffee into and press down? But one day my husband smashed it by accident and so since it?s been instant coffee all round. Two days ago I saw an advertisement for this Cookworks coffee machine from Argos for just £4.99, it said it would make 10-12 cups of coffee, so we decided we would buy one for when the family came down as it would mean we could make a pot for all of us, as if it would make 10 cups of normal sized coffees, it would make around 5 large cups of coffee which is how big our cups are. We weren?t expecting much from a £5 coffee machine, but thought if we got good quality coffee , it would be fine, and then when we did get another café...

Makes A Fine Cup Of Coffee

Advantages: Fast and Easy To Use
Disadvantages: Not Timer and Off Switch

...With the arrival of Jr. becoming more imminent by the minute, me other half has gone into full scale nesting mode, what she will be like in 5 and a half months when Jr. arrives worries me. However this has led to her getting some amazing bargains off e-bay like this one for 8 quid. They normally retail for anything up to 20 quid so it is a veritable bargain and if we can keep it in the condition it is currently in then we should get a simular price for it when Jr. no longer needs warm milk. Now what sort of expectant father would I be if I did not road test any new gadgets that come my way? I decided that the best way to test it would be to make myself some Milky look warm Coffee for my breakfast, and having warm milk with my crunchy nut corn flakes. The other half was not keen on this idea expressly forbidding me to use it for this...

Review of Marks and Spencers One Cup Filters

Conscience Coffee

Advantages: Fairtrade, ethical business, reasonable product
Disadvantages: Bit bland, not full bodied as rivals or real ground coffee

...I really love the taste and smell of fresh ground coffee, especially from Colombia or Costa Rica. There is a richness and distinctive aroma as you open the pack which just sets the taste buds tingling???..Alas, all too often it is simply not practical or best use of time to indulge in real brewed coffee so instant must suffice. Unfortunately in this sector of the beverage market price is often indicative of quality, and premium brand instant coffees almost always taste better than the standard or economy offerings. Having experienced enjoyable cups of Percol Fresh Ground Colombian Coffee I had high expectations from the instant variety: even more so since it was on offer at just over £2 for a 100g jar making it very competitive against other premium brands. The packaging with it?s familiar green green hue and prominent Fairtrade...

Review of Percol Fairtrade Instant Colombian Coffee

Eco refill my coffee cup!!!!

Advantages: Great new product which is good for the enviroment AND your pocket!!
Disadvantages: Only come in 150g bags, so not good for large offices.

...price, it is around the same as what I pay for the Asda Gold blend which I used to get. The Kenco Eco Refill is available from: Asda (at the above price) Tesco (at the above price) Sainsbury?s (at the above price) Waitrose (at the above price) So as you can see, the product is the same price across the board of shops, so no matter where you go, you?re getting a good deal on the coffee!!! In conclusion I love my coffee, and have at least 3 cups a day usually, this coffee is yummy and is perfect for drinking all day long! This new Kenco eco refill is excellent in that you aren?t wasting huge amounts of packaging (much of which will have just been thrown straight into a landfill by people who don?t recycle). It?s a great price for the coffee, and is a really good idea! If only all the other companies followed suit!!!!...
