nz320i 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2006 i just found out that you can make a instant taste way more like a esspresso by putting your coffee and sugar in the cup with like half a cup of milk instead of a little bit, chuck it in the microwave then add some hot water last (not much) wow!! way cheaper than esspresso!! very random indeed.

Instant coffee doesnt even taste like coffee I dont think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jazzbass 1 Report post Posted November 27, 2006 You can also add a couple of drops of vanilla essence to coffee to lift it, when you're feeling like a change. Rum essence does NOT work. Ghastly. Try a sprinkle of cinnamon or chocolate on top of the coffee also. I'd been using so much milk at work, doing just what NZ320i posted, that a few years ago they put up a sign telling people that the provided milk was just for adding to the coffee and tea, not for drinking. We have a coffe machine at work, but the coffe is smegging dreadful from it. On my machine at home I prefer the flavoured beans, like Irish Cream or Rum and Toffee. Everyone to their own tastes.
