That is pretty mad, I'm down that way for a week in August with the kids and my old man is staying not far from there as well, he suggested meeting up for a round during that week and that was the place he suggested. Small world.

Anyway, I got a Nespresso maker. Its ace.

Nespresso is genius, got one a couple of years back. Shit coffee is a crime against humanity.

I am currently embarking on a scoring system to select my favourites. So far, ROMA, CAPRICIO & FORTISSIO LUNGO are my top 3 with LIVANTO pushing hard in fourth. Any others you'd recommend?

I also received one of these. Life will never be the same again.

You obviously have impeccable taste. I normally order 200 at a time as you get free delivery, and it tends to be about 100 fortissio lungo and 50 each of Roma and Livanto. They do a special one called Indriya in their regional collections which is lush too.

Arpeggio is nice too, quite winey, and they do special editions once or twice a year, which are always worth a go. They normally email when a new one comes out. I normally buy a tube, and if I like it get 50 or 100 as they're limited and never last long. They brought out one last year which was strength 13n absolute rocket fuel, but lovely. Wish they still did it.

Nothing until you have tasted a Fortissio Lungo.

Nescafe is what they sweep off the floor at the Lungo factory
