The trick in making great drip coffee from grounds is never to wash the carafe in vinegar. FFS.

Ok. It's possible you feel too strongly about coffee for me to comprehend. I shall back away slowly, and make you a nice cup of tea.

At least two of the branded 12-packs are on offer every week at Superstore...50c a pod...use them when my drip machine is empty and I don't want to make a new pot yet. It's vastly preferable to a stop gap cup of instant

Since I wrote that, I reckon most of my home coffee is now from pods. $4 a box of 12 a couple of weeks ago. All good brands.

Has anyone noticed that Gold Blend seems to have made the move? At least it's new here.
I saw these jars out of the blue. It says Nescafe Gold (with the Blend missing) but the labels are the same as Gold Blend.

That was my mum's choice and I drank it happily when I visited. Not as nice as Carte Noire instant but decent enough. For an instant.
