Would you pay this much for your coffee?

Bit like us Des here in the local bowling club.
Get a full serve for about $20 with 10%discount for being a member and you get points.
So far since last July we now have a balance on the card of $187, couple of good free nights coming up.

Seniors can get the same for #13 and it is not much smaller in size.
Member of the Moama club as well, great value there.

Coffee beans via the rear end of some animal in Indonesia.

Here in some cafes you can get coffee that tastes just like the other stuff that animal pops out.
Most coffee places are good but there are one time use.

Although i like a Cuppa Coffee, i certainly wont pay Prices like shown, even in Cafe,s the Prices are far too high here!
No i stick to drinking my Cuppa at home, i either use the normal Instant Coffee Nescafe Blend 43 , or i also have a Coffee Bean Machine which we save for the Week Ends. So no one gets any cash from us on Coffe, Tea or whatever . Only Buy what we need from the Super Markets !

Do you know just how much you can save this way!!! A lot believe me, especially when i walk past Cafe,s all over and see that they are always full with People Drinking Coffee! Its a Habit i feel for most, something like Smoking! For us Irene had 4 Cups a day from the time she gets up to the time she goes to Bed, me i have two a day , one when awakening and another at about 2pm. Thats it! Bye Bye!!!

Haven't drank coffee in years, the percolator was on all day I think it was Blue Mountain grounds. Strictly rosy lee these days.
I never thought about it when John A. posted this thread but coffee played a part in my working life. I didn't manage to obtain a marine engineering apprenticeship as hoped but one in plantation machinery. The processing of coffee, tea, rice and sugar. The company was founded in 1798 and lasted until the late 1990's when it was sold to a firm in INDIA who continue to manufacture the machinery under the same name. https://mckinnon.co.in/dry-processing-equipment/

I managed to be graded II B for the Merchant Navy when apprenticeship was completed.

#14 Bill, I sailed with numerous engineers with different backgrounds in engineering. How did the examiner arrive at his grading marks.? I assume the grading started at 1A and so forth . I sailed with junior engineers who served their time in Razor Blade factory’s, down the mines, and blacksmiths as one third engineer was, but was probably out of a shipyard which was a recognised trade . However I judged by his age it must have been shoeing horses. Yet on one foreign ship the Chinese third engineer was the ex fireman’s cook. The same thing applied on deck as far as I could see all these foreign certificates looked very nice and authentic, but there was always something missing , it was usually sea time. I have been away from the sea now 20 years and wasn’t too impressed when I left , and the way it was going. The recent discussion. Of the P & O ferries however gives me a good idea. Cheers JS

Black coffee, no sugar.
That is all I drink, not drunk tea since 1961.
The smell of dry tea turns my stomach, how do you drink that stuff?

Did any of us go through or still do drink tea (Infusions) posh word for flavoured teas. Tried a few but always go back to normal builders tea. Warmer months will drink Tea with a Lemon slice now and then. Green tea supposed to be good for you as they are loaded with antioxidants have drank that at times as well.

Hi John. I think I posted my grading some where on the site before. If memory serves shafting of 6" Dia. or over had something to do with it.

No young Marion, not a sniffer.
But in the supermarket even with a mask on I have to hold my nose going down the tea aisle to prevent an accident.
Not sure why it has such an effect on me, but cannot stand it.
