Title: Spicy Orange Coffee - Why?
Post by: Grumpmeister 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?

Because I can foist the undrinkable stuff on the office muppet who seemed to like the orange coffee  whistle:

I can't see the point of flavoured coffees or for that matter, anything other than a straight black, a cappuccino, or espresso.

Added alcohol, yes.

If you want yucky stuff, stick to milk-shakes.

It isn't so much a big flavour though. If that makes any sense. It's more like having salt on your dinner rather than pouring gravy over it.

Salt goes in at cooking time, not afterwards.

I don't eat gravy and I don't add salt to anything.

I was trying to say that the flavourings enhance the flavour of the actual coffee rather than mask it.

As for SMASH I THINK NOT!
