Tw1tch Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Got asked to sweep and scrub the cellar today, I forgot just how many corridors we have, so it took me several hours hard graft, several hours away from people, plus I used it as an excuse to buy some DPM trousers from next door hah. Edit: I appreciate I just abused the comma but cbf to fix it on my phone. Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 It is, you put beans in the back, water in the side, press button and go. None of this automated Nescafe stuff, it is filled with Blue Mountain Blend at the mo. If that is 'some' I dread to think what lots would have yeilded. Good it never really goes off then . 'FireKnife' Wait wait wait wait wait. You've gone from catering tins of nescafe to a bean to cup machine with BLUE MOUNTAIN!? freaking JAMACAN BLUE MOUNTAIN!? Just.. just stop. you've reached coffee nirvana. The only way to get it better would be to buy a nice burr grinder and some pour over cones (Hario V60) or a Chemex if you're making for more than one person. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Wait wait wait wait wait. I know this is going to raise a lot of eyebrows but it is coffee, provided free by work. Yes it is a lot nicer and I am happy work provided but I drink it because it is there and it is nice to have as the cold days set in. Aside from that I wouldn't really know the difference as I am not a huge coffee fan. Oh and just for the record it is a Berg Stile 100 Bean to Cup Coffeemaker fed a bag of Blue Mountain but I can't remember the exact blend. I have no idea what that really means or how good that is but it makes decent coffee and is provided free by work. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 My workplace provides nothing, except for an old second hand fridge and an ASDA price kettle twice a year (it can't handle being boiled 15-20 times a day for longer than that). You wouldn't think that the company makes ~£1.5m gross per month. Looking forward to my Christmas bonus of a £20 Amazon voucher this year... yay. Edit: on topic, what made me happy today was visiting my girlfriend in Aberdeen since Saturday. Flying back to southern England now, once I get out of this bloomin departure lounge. I'm getting lots of positive comments on my huge curly moustache though, so that makes me smile too shame it's nearing the end of its life... Link to post Share on other sites

If that was available at my work I'd gladly pay for the use of it. Easily worth £10 a week to me. Find out the info about the beans for me, I'd be interested to know.

shmook Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Coffee comes from a jar in the supermarket. Goes in a mug with tons of sugar and milk. None of your fancy la-de-da *badger*s baristas and coffee machines and Colombian roasts. Nescafe. I like the popping sound as you break the paper seal of a new jar with a spoon.

FireKnife Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Well the coffee-thingy we have was only new installed and has a meter that tells you who has had what. Only one guy at work has espresso so it is very easy to check how many he has . What makes me laugh is at work we have a lot of numbers and figures reports, one of which, for a joke is the coffee report. It was hilarious until the Belgians sent back their coffee report, damn they drink a lot more per person than we do. And I will find out Tink but it comes in a large 1kg a time brown refill bag is that helps? Plus it is a step up from my old workplace, there we got a cut price kettle and that was it. Too bad I can't have the workers from my old job and the free stuff and location of my new one. Oh well can't have all . 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites

They could spring for some milk though, bastards... My company provides nothing. The kettle was brought in my one of the engineers, we bring in our own tea coffee and milk. Sometimes, the directors come in and help themselves to said tea coffee and milk never bringing their own or chipping in for it despite having just sold the company for £3.5m. We're under paid, over worked, and get no sick pay or benefits. I only have 2 uniform polo shirts, because there were 3 left in the cupboard to divide between 2 of us and we had to rock paper scissors to see who got a second. We were all also employed on the basis that it was a starting wage that would go up after probation, which turned out to be an out and out lie. And on top of all of this, we get to work under a depot manager that treats the place like his own private fiefdom where he can do no wrong. He makes major cock ups and blames other staff for them when it is quite clearly his fault and will leave a customer waiting in the showroom for 25 minutes before sorting their problem because he is holding an inquisition to assign blame first. Oh wait. Wrong thread... Got any jobs going Stunt? I make a wicked brew and don't mind being a broom *badgeress*. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 For Tink: This is what we have at work, http://www.nextdaycoffee.co.uk/store/nairobi-blue-mountain-coffee-beans-6kg-485 And scorch you need a new job . Even mine isn't that bad and they make us pay for the payday lunches, though we do get £40 a person for Christmas work lunch which is kinda nice . EDIT: Managed to send my 1911A1 away and it arrived! Now to ask them why the Glock I sent didn't as it was sent using the same guidelines. Stupid RM. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites

bladerunner168 Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Sainsbury's lunch meal deal - posh sandwich, pickled onion Monster Munch, mango & lime Ribena = £3 You can't argue with that. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Depends on the contents of the posh sandwich . Also since when did they do mango and lime Ribena? I just recall there being 'Ribena' flavour Ribena and that terrible no added sugar one. To add to the happy thread, get to go try out my M&P9 and XDM in a few hours in an evening of games, winning.

shmook Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Yep, that no sugar ribena was poison. Didn't know they had a new flavour either, but I like the original stuff that keeps kids awake for days on end after half a glass...! Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Had a Sainsbury's meal deal yesterday. Difficult decision between Cherry Coke and Vanilla Coke. I haven't seen those for years but then I don't normally go to Sainsburys Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Vanilla. All the way, and every time. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Cherry Coke to me taste like how I would imagine and liquidated cherry bakewell would taste. I recall it being more flavour and sugar back when I was a kid. As for Ribena, glad to see that still tastes nice, you just need to mix it in a 1/4 ratio, not the 1/5 that the bottle tells you to . Plus I could really go for a Coke with lime now, nowhere near here seems to have that anymore. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
