I've made sourdough (various recipes, from Jamie Oliver's to several Dan Lepard - the best - ones from http://www.amazon.co.uk/Baking-Passion-Baker-Spice-Lepard/dp/1844004236 in an older edition). The only issue I have with it is keeping the starter going - not just the first week or two before you use it for the first time, but after that. It's only really worth doing if you're going to be around for a decent amount of time so can a) feed it every day and b) make bread often, and that's the joy of it really, keeping this living thing alive and making bread from it all the time rather than just one loaf. The bread IS gorgeous and very filling.
No, I settle for sampling all the ones on offer in the city centre. So far Cafe Nero and Beanscene come out tops; probably because they use actual real coffee!
I had a flatmate years ago who made them with instant coffee, lashings of sugar and milk and a electric mini whisk thing. She also made proper greek coffee in the little pan :-)
