Coffee Snobbery 101

Some of the greatest things happen to you when you sip on your morning coffee! You feel awake, you feel inspired, but then again that’s probably because you’re reading your favourite blog! StyleScoop!

I have a confession to make!

I’m a coffee snob!

And I’m proud of it!

I love my coffee, but I won’t can’t drink instant, even if its “premium brands” like Jacobs or Nescafe! I blame my husband, who about five years ago bought us a makoi coffee machine that grinds our morning coffee, fresh from beans! Since then, I think I’ve had about five cups of yucky instant coffee, and not becuase I wanted, to but rather, becuase I had to!

I am so bad, that when I go to people’s houses and they offer coffee, I hope and pray that I’ll find a coffee machine sitting on their kitchen counter! Even a filter coffee machine will do. Otherwise, I’m good with tea – thank you very much!

Coffee snobbery starts with instant (sadly, we have to start somewhere), it progresses to buying a bodum, then a coffee perculator, and then, you progress to full-on coffee snob when you go for one of those fancy Nespresso machines or the “Big Boy” coffee machines like teh De’Longhi Automatic Prima Donna Cappuccino Machine. MMM

Can you smell the coffee?

Are you warm, hot or smokin?

1. WARM: Kenwood Kenwood Kmix Coffee Maker in Magenta
2. HOT: Lavazza Guzzini Espresso Machine Red
3. SMOKIN: De’Longhi Automatic Prima Donna Cappuccino Machine

Now, once you’ve got your “dealeir” AKA your coffee machine all set up and ready, be warned there is always more! Addicts always find more to add to their addiction don’t they?

The only thing worse than drinking crappy coffee, is drinking it in a crappy mug!

1. Kinto Fika Café Sweet Plate and Cup
2. Keep Calm & Carry on Coffee Tin

3. Konitz Snuggle Sweet Dreams Mug

4. Helon Melon 3-Piece Mug Set
5. Bodum Veneziano Two Piece Coffee Cup Set with Stainless Steel Saucers

Don’t get me started on Coffee brands… That my friend’s is a post all on it’s own and you’d only be able to get through it after your fifth cup!

So, are you a coffee snob? What’s your poison?
