Mmm...coffee...

Yellow band...

...Nooo I didn't mean half and half milk. That's a North American thang. I don't think I've seen it here. I meant I'm a snob about coffee but not all the time.

Yup that rebound headache is a weird one. I get a headache now if I drink more than 1 or 2 small coffees a day.

Dolce is the name of my 2nd favourite independant coffee shop here in Blackpool.

I will never, ever, ever, ever, drink a McStarbucks. I refuse to eat MacDonalds too. If I drink chain store coffee then Nero is the one I will drink here. Costa if I have no other choice.

More often than not if sh*te coffee is on offer I'll have tea, bad tea is more palatable than bad coffee.

Happy caffeine buzzin' to ya'll

IIRC, half & half is roughly the US equivalent to single cream or table cream.

Half and Half is 12.5% - 18% MF (Milk Fat?) and I think that's what they call Single Cream in the UK. Table Cream in Canada is 10% MF. Light Cream (I think the US doesn't do that?) is 5% MF.

Dolce is the name of my 2nd favourite independant coffee shop here in Blackpool.Thank you for explaining, I felt baddly that I was gagging at the reference to folgers..over here, folgers is instant coffee.

I will never, ever, ever, ever, drink a McStarbucks. I refuse to eat MacDonalds too. If I drink chain store coffee then Nero is the one I will drink here. Costa if I have no other choice.McStarbucks, is that the fancy coffee at Mcdonalds? No thanks, its liquid syrup. I don't eat there except, I do like the fruit and yougurt parfaits.

More often than not if sh*te coffee is on offer I'll have tea, bad tea is more palatable than bad coffee.Yes, I agree. There are plenty of good teas, and always fresh!

Happy caffeine buzzin' to ya'll

Why thank you!

I've been working on learning latte art. So far I still suck at it. You don't need half & half for a latte, though. Just milk. If it was half & half it would be breve art.
