yOU CAN SAY WHAT YOU LIKE ABOUT THE OLD HUB CAFE BUT THEY NEW HOW TO SERVE A COFFEE.
I WENT TO GT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AGES YESTERDAY AND I WAS SERVED A VILE CONCOCTION OUT OF ONE OF THOSE PRESS BUTTON MACHINES (I ASKED FOR A LATTE), I FIND IT HARD TO UNDERSTAND WHY THEY THINK THIS IS ACCEPTABLE
dID YOU COMPLAIN?
sPEAK UP
Somewhere on your keyboard, a caps lock cries out to be pressed.
And just for the record, the worst coffee in the world is Mellow Birds, closely followed by anything else labelled 'instant coffee'.
nnnGGGG WHERE'S MY STRESS BALLS? NNNGGG
I suggest you should try [url= http://www.homeremediesweb.com/chamomile_health_benefits.php ]THIS[/url]
Another vote for mellow birds, truly vile stuff
pERHAPS IT'S TIME TO CUT BACK ON THE CAFFEINE?
Douwe Egberts is the worst, I say DOUWE EGBERTS IS THE WORSt.

The worst coffee in the world is that which is served in a cafetiere but turns out to be Nescafé. The embodiment of disappointment...
oh so you have been the to the little cafe on the side shore on the way to kirroughtree from dunfries have you alisdair .....
wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy - id rather go to the tesco cafe !
Agreed. I popped in on the way back from inners on Friday, I can't believe that they would spend so much money on the peel cafe and put in the equivalent of a petrol station coffee machine. Another thing, have you noticed the building at the very top of the hill above the peel? The wooden clad one, it's weathered now and looks like something from east Berlin in the 70s. Awful looking.
The peel was supposed to be Eco friendly as well, every piece of cake in a plastic box?.
The stuff you get from the machines whilst waiting for a new tyre in Kwik Fit.
The hot drink vending machine at Codemasters, circa 2004. Tea, coffee and soup, which all came out of the same nozzle.

hoodoo studio hot chocolate was OK wouldn't drink the coffee though.
coffee that's been in the percolator for a couple of days, tastes like the gravy they serve in the deepest darkest bowels of hell
Glentress is a trail centre where you go to ride your bike.
"Lattes" and other shite like that is available 20 miles away in Edinburgh.
HTH.
(Oh, and the Hub was a horrible place to be- overcrowded, sweaty and with nowhere to sit)
The stuff they were calling coffee in the hotel I've been staying in was dreadful, until I found the espresso machine. That was pretty good and got things going.
Go to NZ. Enter a supermarket. Take your pick from any instant.
Bingo.
The worst coffee in the world.
Good work, though suffers from a lack of middleclass whiny bawbags 😆Glentress is a trail centre where you go to ride your bike.

Let's be honest a "Latte" is not really a "coffee" more warm milk !!
I only drink coffee made from beans which have travelled through my own digestive tract.
So not only am I full of crap, but it's all mine & I can top myself up any time I like. 🙂

Nah, just plenty of B&Bs on my LeJog, and a couple of central London hotels who indulge in the same practice.

God that keyboard needs a clean
Mellow birds followed by :?Maxwell house

Coffee snobbery is almost as bad as beer snobbery.
Vote with your feet then - go somewhere else !!

Given the fact that the cafe isn't exactly up a mountain or in the middle of no mnans land it does surprise me they can't get a decent machine / operator to make a quality coffee
FFS even the new Costa machine at our work delivers a bloody good brew and a monkey like me can operate it lol

It's a captive market though as they own the pub too, not much incentive to keep up standards. Once everyone is back in the car your not stopping till you get home.
PMSL at the Athertons CyB video where they talk about the lovely cafe there then head into the FC's School Canteen impression.
I had a bacon roll there last week. It contained 4 rashers of bacon and two potato scones. 🙂
The service is a bit poor compared to the old Hub cafe though.
Starbucks coffee is pretty awful, unless you like watered down American shite.

Depends what you ask for. Their flat whites are pretty reasonable but not as good as Costa ones.
Last time I was in a Starbucks, the woman in front of me ordered a decaff soya milk frappuccino. All credit to the staff for not actually throwing her out the door and telling her to come back when she could order something non-poncy.
But yes, most instant coffees are pretty vile - Mellow Birds just sounds bad before you even look at the brown talculm powder in the jar.

In there today, very busy. But served quickly by a very pleasant Blonde lady 🙂
Macaroni and cheese with a couple of pieces of garlic bread plus salad/slaw - within 5 mins. And go for the Tea for 2 - about 3 large cups for £2. What is there not to like?
I think the cafe has improved, but the coffee is pretty unforgiveable. Last time I was there I asked for a Tuna and Tomato toastie (both items on the menu in other toasties) and they couldn't do it because the toasties are all pre-prepared, which I think is catering code for frozen. Yum. The lady did helpfully offer to scrape the cheese out a Tuna Melt for me, which wasn't as bad as I expected.
Camp Coffee or anything with Chickory!
The greasy-spoon-by-day-chippy-by-night on the high street in Bala serves the worst coffee in the world.
Out of a push button machine, but heated to the max so the milk forms burnt layer of scum on top of the grey coffee.

I only drink lager so can't be accused of being a snob
You people have clearly never had the joy of a breakfast coffee here;

The JW Marriott at Tomorrow Square, Shanghai.
Now, the Chinese aren't very good at coffee as a matter of course. In fact, an espresso in Starbucks in Pudong, while utterly vile, is the closest you can find to a coffee in that amazing, wonderful city.
But the Marriott? Oh, my days, the coffee is vile. One sip was all it took.
Utterly vile.
Now I would normally say Mellow Birds ( tagline from the 70's was "Mellow Birds will make you smile"...more like a Rictus grin) is the worst but I did have the great misfortune to once try "Happy Shopper instant coffee powder" ( snappy name ) and managed to outdo this in spit it out now test by quite some margin...
Every time someone complains about Starbucks I always remember this.
Yosemite visitor centre circa 2004 - absolutely Gopping, went straight in the bin. The grimmest bilge sold in one of the most glorious locations on the planet... 😳
#firstworldproblem....
I've drunk NHS coffee for 25 years, stop whimpering you pathetic little girls.
place I used to work at, they used to buy the catering tins of Nescafe coffee granules - once you got to the bottom it was literally only bits of husk, grit and floor sweepings left.
Catering tins of coffee, I used to bin the last few inches when no one was looking....
Tomorrow morning L8 6QZ
Coffee that tastes like burnt pallets, free to all.
