After running out of my usual coffee yesterday, I got this emergency packet out of the cupboard.
It has no taste, all I can taste is what little semi-skimmed I put in. I wouldn't recommend this to anybody.

I just buy, the vacuum packed, gold, from Lidl, for use in my French Press.

I've got it now, but I suppose I'll have to drink my way through the Aldi stuff first.

Why has it rotated 90°?

The site keeps doing that. I found that if you crop it just a little before uploading it, it comes out correctlly.

Bought these beans today from Lidl. £10.99 for a 1.2kg packet. Taste very creamy and velvety

. I can’t tell the difference between these and my current favourite, Costa beans.

Warning to Bodd - contains graphic scene of a watch.

Yes I do. But as Im getting more efficient Im finding that I dont need to be there so many hours. Im earning far better with my emergency work and what comes in on the back of that work.

I dont want to be sneaking out the back door and embarrassing myself, so I might need another chat with my head.

Not my head...... my Headmistress.

Yes maybe I do also need a chat with myself .

Another +1 for Lidl beans and ground coffee. I tend to blend it.
