For those living in the UK, I have yet to find coffee as nice as "Costa Coffee"... They do sell their beans too, which I also recommend for your coffee makers!

Nah, Irn Bru is more (stereo)typically associated with the Scots. English people drink tea from floral bone-china cups and saucers with a doily on the table.


Rab C. Nesbit... I rest my case...

The problem with Costa is that they make their tea using the coffee steamer. The water is far too hot and not only spoils the taste of the tea, but makes it too hot to drink. Then they serve it in a ridiculously shaped cup which is only about 3" deep but with a massive rim. This has the result of a massive surface area, meaning that the tea goes from boiling hot to luke warm within about 2 minutes.


Never had their Tea... Their Coffee is the stuff of legend though...

Given the choice of sitting in a crowded coffee shop gulping down scorching hot and then room temperature water mildly flavoured with cheap tea, or a nice hot mug of PG in the comfort of my own home, I would choose the PG any day...


Next time you are in London, I will drag you to a Costa for a latte and a Muffin :-)

All this chocolate made me think of the dirty man in a bonbonshop :lol:


That was quite amusing, though probably funnier if I could understand Dutch... though I noticed that a few words were similar/same as German...
