I quit smoking over Christmas, mainly due to an awful chest infection but also because for some reason it didn't 'taste' the same in recovery.
A month later, my taste buds seem much more excitable and drinking coffee excites them even more. |

Just got back from Bakewell, where the local shops are organising a "keep Costa out" petition.
Not a massive fan of Costa anyway, but Bakewell has always seemed to me to be collective of self-interest groups keen to promote and defend their own little establishments and keep prices artifically high. The local coffee houses (none particularly good) are probably the organisers of this petition.
The venue that Costa wants to use is 2000 sq ft, and is just off the main square and has been empty now for four years.
If you're typing about the lovely Bakewell, near Darwin (Australia) - I can tell you that Costa do not want to open there!
Plenty of coffee shops in Darwin - though no Costa.
I take it he's in Bakewell UK, rather than the lovely Oz!

The own brand variety of bean at Costco is my tip for a non-expensive brew. |

I like brewing my own coffee fresh - as readers of Three Months (still available via Amazon) and 65 My Life So Far (only through Kindle) will know. I take ground Jamaican Blue Mountain beans wherever I go.
But they cost a fortune (literally ten times other coffees) and, I've decided, taste exactly the same. So I now buy other, more normal types.
Is it an age thing? Do our taste buds lose their ability to discern differences as we get older? Do you think virtually all coffees taste the same? Answers please!
Sue swears by Taylor's of Harrogate "Lazy Suday" blend, (currently on offer in Sainsbury's, but generally available), or Farrars No.1 blend, only available online or from their shop in Kendal. www.farrerscoffee.co.uk |
