My café. Juice of life.

30% Indian Monsooned Malabar, 20% Brazilian Santos, 10% Ethopian Sidamo, 40% Indian Monsooned Robusta

Whilst on a certain unit in the RAF I used to have a lot of 'hanging around' time in the crewroom, which was filled with pool, crappy daytime TV and coffee. Lots of coffee.

I used to not get to sleep until 2 - 3 am, and often wondered why, then I realised the dozen or so large cups of coffee I was having at work every day, topped up with a couple or three in the mess, wasn't helping. Vodka Redbulls in the evenings probably didn't help either.

I went out and bought decaf and now it's pretty much all I'll drink coffee-wise. Occasionally I'll have a full-fat coffee, but I'll know about it straight away.

I buy a good quality decaf, tastes much better than most of the coffees on the supermarket shelves, including brand leaders. I don't usually tell my guests it's decaf and I've never had a complaint - I think most people either have the idea that it tastes crap in their head, or they've only ever tasted the cheap, crap stuff.

You know STEED prefers his Mambas like his coffee - Black.

Wouldn't surprise me if he was colour blind

We share some taste there, it seems. These two I use to have in my household:

And - voilá! - this one:

But I do not throw them into coffee. It would be an insult to the drink, and an abuse of the coffee. I like Irish coffee - but only the ready-mixed concentrate by Jakobs.
