2014 Parramatta Eels Season Preview

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Plunger? May as well drink instant. I had a proper machine for over 7 years. Got sick of the coffee grounds everywhere. Recently purchased a Delonghi Nespresso. The Roma blend for mine is as good as anything I have tasted domestically.

That George Clooney knows his shit.

Mate, I own a semi-commercial Italian espresso machine....haven't touched instant coffee since the late 80s (and don't personally rate the pod machines too much higher). Freshly roasted, freshly ground coffee can taste great in a number of brewing devices. Give me fresh coffee in a plunger any day before stale coffee in a pod.;-)

 

[Stagger eel]

I'm with you guys... Been a coffee snob for several years I'll never touch that instant shit any more

 

[The Colonel]

Instant coffee is great.

Take some nice sharp cheddar cheese, drizzle over a little bit of honey and then crumble a small punt of instant coffee over the top.

Are you pregnant?

Me too. I haven't tried many types but the 2 I have currently are Ristretto and Apreggio.
Both I would recommend. I will have to give Roma a try.

I was using fake pods from the supermarket but they wrecked my machine. Luckily Delongi fixed it for me, even gave me a loan machine during repairs. I will be sticking to the genuine nespresso pods now.

Hey Stagger we should catch up for a coffee this morning.

Don't mind those either. That new release Dhakar or similar is shit. I did the Piazza D'or pods too. There was a red one that wasn't bad. However you're right they don't fit in the machine properly.

You surprise me Baz. Respect increasing by the day. You must be a Mediterranean_Descendant.

Yes Piazza D'or, they're the little bastards that f**ked my machine.

 

[Avenger]

You're becoming one of my favourites Maroubra. It's scary.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Should I be scared?

 

[Avenger]

Should I be scared?

My hugs can get a little passionate. I'm also a Mediterranean_Descendant so I kiss my mates 3 times.

 

[The Colonel]

Are you pregnant?

If I am I have been for a long time. Jamie Oliver trick that one. Tastes incredible.

 

[Avenger]

Any plans of coming back to Sydney, Colonel?

I'll surprise you even more.....I buy green beans and roast them at home.....

I do have quite a few Mediterranean_Descendant mates, though not all of them are that fussy about their coffee. I think a late night brew at Cafe Hernandez (Bayswater Rd?) started it all for me.

 

[Twizzle]

Are you pregnant?

last time I saw him I was wondering the same thing

 

[The Colonel]

Any plans of coming back to Sydney, Colonel?

Not anytime soon mate..... Too expensive to live in Sydney. 2 acre block is about an eighth of the price out here.

Good part of that has gone. Forty kilos less than last time you saw me

A mate of mine bought a house on a 5 acre block at Kenthurst a couple of years ago for a reasonable price.
I wouldn't really call it Sydney but it's not that far out in the sticks.

Some major butthurt earlier in this thread. If someone's that sensitive about anonymous people's reactions to things they write on the internet, perhaps they shouldn't be writing?
