The problem for me is the first coffee of the day. Until I've actually drink it I can neither face the faff nor clean up without getting coffee grounds everywhere. Catch 22 hence instant shite

And yes I am a bit of a coffee snob! :p

Living in Dubai, discarded coffee capsules are fairly low down on the scale when it comes to environmental concerns :p

I love the taste of the Nespresso coffee, so what's the problem? It takes maximum a minute to make, no fuss at all.

where did I say I didn't like Nespresso? I have got one and we use it regularly, and we use the Dulce Gusto and we use the kettle, when I am in MOE I like Cafe Supreme over Starbucks etc

You go on another list for using the word 'lounge' as a noun. Ugh.

What's wrong with that?

Cocktail Lounge
Bar & lounge
Smoking Lounge
Lounge Bar

Me thinks the lady doth protest too much.

As you are an advocate of the environmentally unfriendly coffee, you were not the target.

You do realise that one of your examples isn't even a noun?

You shouldn't use lounge in reference to your sitting room. It's vulgar Scamp.

Re: Coffee Pod Things

I have a lavazza coffee machine in my apartment, which uses the pods, but it is an arseache and they only sell the pods in one place in doha. So last week i bought a bog standard filter machine. Biodegradeable paper filters so its easy to clean, i can use whatever ground coffee I want and it takes less than 5 minutes to make. So much less faffing about and i have also got a dolce gusto thingymijig at work, the pods are ridiculously expensive abnd you only get about 16 small cups out of a box, and it doesnt taste as nice as fresh ground coffee.
