hi alex,
i agree, there is something about the coffee you buy at the coffee houses...as you say, that's their thing and they are good at it.there was a study done on some coffees (yet another study) and it showed that starbucks had like upteen times more caffeine than other coffees so people subconsciously liked it best because of the jolt. i would think they would use the same beans over by you so if you're ordering a double shot you must really like your coffee! It is funny to think new zealanders like their coffee stronger than americans. I guess i have never really thought about it. We are so dependant on our coffee over here. I can't even get my dogs in to be groomed because there is a starbucks in the parking lot and it's got a drive in window line as long as my christmas list.
what is plunger coffee? is that like percolated? or drip? yuck on the moldy.
I'll have to look up your robert harris coffee on the net. the great thing about the internet is ordering coffee from around the world. that toffee flavor sounds really good.
I haven't found a good instant but imagine it would be good to have around in a pinch. It would seem one would need hot water to release the flavors. I have heard the bitter thing in relation to tea tho. The ice cream trick sounds too good...just what i need, another caloric taste treat!
p.s. go work on your thesis
ana
