gently caress yeah turning point UK is already amazing

The irony is that you're using the name of 'Turning Point' a well established and reputable service supporting people with drug and alcohol use, mental health, offending behaviour, unemployment issues and people with a learning disability.

My office (in the UK) has free vending machines that make perfectly passable bean-to-cup coffee and espresso

There are quite a few people who pay money to bring in instant coffee because "it tastes better"

As for ersatz coffee it was just for the taste, not for any particular benefit

Lol

Instant coffee is good enough as a sustenance coffee, which is reason enough to keep drinking it. Espresso is better, but if we didn't have an espresso machine at work, I wouldn't bother. It's not that much of a difference in something that doesn't really matter at all.

Oh, there are so many recipes to explore.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_substitute

quote:

Grain coffee and other substitutes can be made by roasting or decocting various organic substances.

Some ingredients used include almond, acorn, asparagus, malted barley, beechnut, beetroot, carrot, chicory root, corn, soybeans, cottonseed, dandelion root (see dandelion coffee), fig, roasted garbanzo beans, lupinus, boiled-down molasses, okra seed, pea, persimmon seed, potato peel, rye, sassafras pits, sweet potato, wheat bran.

Lupinus.

The UK is the only place in Europe where you don't get offered coffee when visiting a company. I have to take time out and stop at "the services" on the highway, for some reason as soulless as can be and filled with weird people.

Fingers crossed I'll never have business there again in my life.

It's similar to belief in God. People are comfortable thinking there is some all-knowing and mighty power up there that determines everything for a reason.

If you are stocking up on Brexit ramen and have only ever had Japanese, Korean, or western instant noodles (if you are a real sicko), then you need to do yourself a favour and pick up a box of IndoMie Mi Goreng. Instead of a broth, you drain them and coat them in an addictive chilli and sweet soy sauce. You should be able to get them at Asian grocers or Amazon, and some supermarkets like Tesco will sell individual packets if you want to try them. If you like instant noodles but never had these, they'll change your life.
