Spicy Orange Coffee - Why?
« on: January 08, 2008, 07:47:11 PM »
Had a cunning plan of using the Jan sale at Whittards to stock up on coffee for work. Picked up possibly enoough coffee to last us the next month or so for sod all and we've been going through some of the flavoured coffee's over the last couple of days.

Todays choice - Spicy Orange.

Who was the obviously deranged nutbag who decided that mixing coffee nutmeg cinnamon and orange would make a good flavour  sick2:

I also would love to know who was the halfwit at Whittards who tasted some and thought they could make money selling it.   Banghead

Back on the Brazillian Bourbon tomorrow, decent coffee.

Look, it cost a fiver and the rest of the coffee is very drinkable - having said that we havent got to the point we are trying the mint coffee yet  scared2:

Hardly, flavoured coffee had been requested so it was either a gift pack of 6 for a fiver or their bu three for 8.50 offer.

Seemed the obvious choice really.

Even I am not idiot enough to try orange coffee!

What is the point of buying the gift pack if nearly half of it is undrinkable?
