Good point, imastawka!

I have some nice 20% discounts being waved in front of my nose by eBay at the moment. I frequently let these float off without using them, unless there's something I absolutely want to buy... which I'd planned to buy before the discount was dangled before me. There are a couple of things on my buy list, but I don't think the most important one is available on eBay. However, the all-singing all-dancing coffee machine might be... if they have it in cranberry. However, that's not an urgent buy. I have plenty of ways to make coffee, after all... and I have the most delicious coffee beans to hand. Indonesian Bali "God Mountain" and Brazil "Rio Verde" ... oh blessed polyphenols of glory!

No Kopi Luwak?

I haven't the intestinal fortitude for that.

The civet does.

Yes - poor civets... You'll never see a civet sipping Kopi Luwak, though!

(Even if I wanted the taste of Kopi Luwak, I wouldn't buy it. Ridiculous prices for what is simply a sales racket! Not to mention cramming civets into cages to be force-fed in appalling conditions.)

Apparently Black Gold is the most expensive coffee. Processed by Thai elephants in the same way.

On the odd ocassion I drink coffee, Arabica does me. I'm a (black leaf) tea drinker. I drink Nerada, as I like it and it's grown in Queensland. It's still generally cheaper than Liptons.
