Fun Stuff > CHATTER
I want to talk about coffee.
Nodaisho:
Pffft. What's the matter, you ladies can't race without your precious, precious tarmac? Get back to me when they go over a cattle guard on a 2-track sideways at 90mph.
Inlander:
Unfortunately nobody really drives like that in rally any more, at least not at the top level. Ever since Sebastian Loeb came along and turned out to be incredibly fast and incredibly clean at the same time the sport's sort of lost the traditional devil-may-care sideways-through-the-corner style that marked the era of Colin McRae, Carlos Sainz, et al, and which made it the only motor sport I could ever take an interest in.
Rizzo:
I've recently made the switch from synthetic sugary energy drinks to black coffee. The first few days were pretty painful but now I find the coffee a whole lot more enjoyable.
Unfortunately, the reason for the switch was money so I've replaced crappy energy drinks with crappy work vending machine coffee. Thankfully the machine is free but the coffee is less than great. Frankly, it's probably worse than instant (which we also have at work) but I find instant doesn't wake me up at all.
Anyway, the point I'm trying to get to is that I'd really like to try a whole variety of different coffees and coffee making techniques but it can be a bit difficult when you're saving and so on.
Equipment: at home I use one of these when I have coffee; http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/df/Coffe_percolator_moka.jpg
It provides pretty damn nice coffee. I tend to buy Atomic, a locally ground brand. Seems good. I don't know really.

I'm not prejudiced against tea but I'm totally not a tea snob. All I drink is Lipton regular tea run through my iced tea maker. It's basically the tea equivalent of Folgers in a Mr. Coffee machine...and yet I really enjoy good coffee. Weird.
Lunchbox:
I love tea but I'm not a tea snob either. I like Tetley tea bags with milk and sugar.
Unfortunately I'm stuck drinking decaf black tea for the forseeable future. Boo!
