What’s your tipple? Brand, method, with milk or not?
Are you a fresh ground coffee or does instant tickle your pickle?
I’ve been using Paddy & Scott’s brewbags. I was sceptical at first, absolutely brilliant.
Haven’t used my wee aeropress in months now. |

We’re very much about small local roasters and seek out coffee houses who roast their own. Figment in Aberdeen is a fav!
At home we have a bean to cup machine but you can’t beat sitting outside with a cafetiere on a sunny day!  |

Got given an independent coffee shops of Scotland book for Xmas, so I've been touring about trying a few.
Was in the Good Coffee Cartel in Govan on Sunday, highly recommended. |

"I'm a convert to Taylor's rich Italian coffee bags these days. Less faff with any of the standard coffee gadgets... "
I use these at home too, the Flying Start is my fave, but I also like Hot Lava Java.
At work it's Nespresso pods and when out and about I try to hit the smaller places. Brew Lab in Edinburgh is one of my faves.

During the week it's busy so just whatever instant coffee I can get hold of, sometimes maybe a Costa or something when I'm out and about.
At a weekend I use my Moka pot and like to try out different coffees |

One I occasionally get and enjoy is Skull Crusher Coffee. It's one of those extreme strong ones, so not for the weak at heart.
I've not tried any of their other blends, nor side-ventures, however if you use half the grounds it suggests, you get a really nice tasting coffee, with less of the "buzz".

Tried a few different brands when we visited Florida and brought some black rifle coffee back.
Currently on a bag of moose coffee from the breakfast places.
Managed to get a Dunkin’ Donuts cold brew last weekend and it tasted amazing |

There's a coffee shop up the road from me that sells Bob Marley branded coffee with the individual names matching his songs like Stir It Up, One Love and Buffalo Soldier. I'm currently drinking One Love and I'm using a drip filter that I picked up in Vietnam in January along with condensed milk like they use over there which I really enjoy. Takes a while longer to make a brew but I love it. |

"Ottoman great
Keep meaning to try Himba - is it good?
Good Coffee Cartel good
What are everyone’s favourites and recommendations around Glasgow?
"
Hinba is good, nice little place too.
Outlier at Glasgow Cross and us vs them at the Barras are also really good. |
