Juju Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 One of her colleagues does it perfectly. But she cocks it right up. Thinking out the box here, and radically.. have you *asked* her for less foam? I mean, you'r pretty steamed up about it. Just say some simple request like "half milk and half foam please", and hey presto (or should that be hey expresso?) and you get your coffee as you like it. OFC, no one drinks a cappuchino after 10:00 am..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 My coffee of choice is Carte Noire Expresso (2.85 from morrisons ), apart from doughe & egberts its the best instant coffee ive had. Its the fine powder stuff rather than the normal instant stuff. Cant be arsed with the faffing about that comes with filtered coffee myself.

For cheap supermarket coffee, I am a Lavazza man. Rosso is good, but I have bought a grinder and use the arabica beans. Thats for me the best stuff I've found thats affordable, although someone willporb be along in a moment to denounce it as rubbish comapred to freshly roasted beans from a niche supplier.

Juju Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 And yeh I've asked her. Believe me. She still **** it up every time Smile Then she needs to be promoted, immediately, to a middle to high management position in a high street bank, immediately.

Stevo985 Posted June 6, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted June 6, 2011 she does amuse me actually. I've tried to befriend her to see if the coffee improves (it doesn't) and have noticed that her mood is exactly affected by the day of the week. Mondays she's a moody cow. Friday's she is the chirpiest, cheeriest person you could meet. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are a gradual increase from on to the other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I didn't know there were any 'girls' serving coffee here... are you talking about the middle aged, generally grumpy woman over near the canteen? By the way, I like the foreign guy who works at that Costa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
