Coffee

I usually put in 2 teaspoons or 3 dessert spoonfuls if using bigger cafetière. I don't like strong coffee so it's a bit trial and error.

You're certainly not thick - I'm still using imperial measurements, can't get my head around metric, and especially centimetres!

It's really hard to find proper tespoons now...they're all fancy and little etc. I've got a very old one of my mum/dad's which I always use and guard with my life! I've also got those scoops for my filter machine. Thanks for the tip though. I like it strong but it does make me "jittery" Yes, I can visualise yards, inches etc but my oh gets angry. about that.

Cafetieres usually come in cup sizes lik 4 cups, 8 cups, etc. so I would start with one teaspoon per cup for the number of cups your cafetiere is supposed to be.

60grams is quite a lot - 4 tablespoons or 12 teaspoons. (5g = 1teaspoon, 15g = 1 tablespoon) It depends how strong you like your coffee.

Yeah. 60 grams is more than two ounces isn't it? I would one of those satchels in a full size cafetière. Making about three mugfuls.

Oh, yes, there are 6 sachets! With silly names like "Christmas Morning" etc.At least now I have some idea how much to use. I always think when |I get a "luxury present" how I'd rather have had something practical! Like a n ew frying pan!

Oh! Bung it in a jug and top it up with some hot water. 'Suck it and see'!

Hmm. Probably flavoured coffee. ie good coffee spoiled.

I'll try it tomorrow; I don't drink coffee after about 5pm else I'm like a cat on a hot tin roof!
Useful when there's chores to do.

God! Has my life come down to this??!! Well, the box was just one more item of clutter to be dealt with

I would chuck it. TBH.

I liked flavoured coffee because it covers up the coffee flavour! Carmel coffee is lovely.

I'm not precious about my coffee and will drink most but agree with jings about flavoring spoiling coffee. Especially mint or caramel.
Can't stand lattes. Give me plain ordinary coffee, black or white.

Truth is I don't like coffee

Neither do I! The more it's disguised the better.

We put 2 very heaped dessert spoons in ours - so 4 level ones I suppose. We like it strong!!! we only have it for breakfast though. We always used to get our filter coffee from Sainsburys or Tesco, but Lidl have started sell it now and it's not bad!

Totally agree with Jings re flavoured coffee.

I don't even like liqueur coffee like an Irish coffee. I like my liqueur separately !

Hmmmm I wonder if I could sneak in a cheeky little Tia Maria with my ham sandwich and coffee for lunch? [grin ]
