WARNING: don't change your coffee

[spacelem]

Today I bought Fairtrade coffee rather than my usual coffee, because it was cheaper, and I have no money right now.

The stuff must have twice as much caffeine in it - I haven't felt this jittery in months. And I'm about to go out for a meal with my parents. Oh, this is going to be so much fun.

what brand?
the best tasting pre-ground coffee i have found so far is coffee roasters union brands, esp. the darker roasts.

num-som!

[spacelem]

Tesco's own.

Ah yes. Some of the fair-trade stuff packs quite a kick. Some of it is rather pathetic though...

[fizzyboot]

Some of it is bloody expensive as well.

[purplerabbits]

Well you would expect a little bit more expense if it's going to the growers, but I find the Co-op (Scotmid) own brand quite reasonably priced possibly because all its own brand stuff is Fairtraide and it's not 'positioning itself in the market' as a luxury brand...

I always buy the cheap supermarket own brand coffee. I can't really tell the difference between this and the expensive cstuff, probably becausde of the sugar and milk I put in it.

I had that experience, unexpectedly, at Pret à Manger...
Then I found out they were owned by McDonalds. *sighs*
