Got Milk?

Has anybody suggested double cream yet?

 

[DJC3]

Yes me too, double cream! I use a pod machine but had a costa white americano while out the other day, it was horrible compared to coffee with cream.

Costa will happily give you cream for your coffee in a nice little jug. I nearly always go there when I’m out just for that reason.

Ashamed to say it was a nasty machine job.

Ah, yes I agree with you then, not a patch on coffee with cream.

Double cream... What else is there?

 

[Tophat1900]

I will drink coffee black or with cream. As long as I get my morning cup, then sanity will prevail.

I don’t drink coffee. In tea I have full fat milk as I am not keen on tea with cream. And use sweetner for the tea.

I use a lot more “heavy” cream now (my wife being Americanised with her English uses that expression). Partly as I really like it so it goes in scrambled egg and home made ice cream and on top of Greek yoghurt. Partly as I have bucked my past stance on cream being fattening and partly because it ups my daily fat intake as necessary.

Are you quite sure about that?

 

[Krystyna23040]

I'll 4th or 5th the double cream ...

I'll have coffee and double cream instead of something to eat when out. I am ashamed to say that recently I paid for coffee and cream and when they served it they said that they could only serve cream with deserts but not with my coffee. I am afraid I had a 'hissy fit ' and stomped out of the coffee shop - minus my coffee.

I am certain.... however, no one else here is.

How absurd is that? How hard is it to do something so simple?


Maybe they don't like the idea of repeat customers.

You are so right - as I stomped out of the coffee shop I vowed I would never set foot in there again. Costa coffee were more than happy to serve me an Americano and cream - so I did get my coffee and cream in the end.

I asked in Costa Coffee about bullet proof coffee and they said they didn’t do it. They did acknowledge they were asked for it sometimes.

Coffee gives me a headache so I have my double cream (preferably Jersey ) with yoghurt and a few berries

That's what matters!

 

[Traceymac23]

I just like the bitter taste of black coffee, no sugar / sweeteners/ cream, but a pinch of salt occasionally.

Oooh.....controversial LOL

 

[Bluetit1802]

Just in case people haven't read back in this thread, may I mention double cream with coffee?
However, when out and about I tend not to have cream, I drink it black. Not all places give you real cream. I don't trust them.

Same here, black always when out.... there are people out there who can't be trusted with cream.

 

[carty]

I can't be trusted with cream ---I could eat the whole pot at 1go
