Illy is the best commercially available coffee.
In his opinion.
And, in fact, I rather like Illy too, buy it regularly and agree that it is very good, but as it is twice the price of other brands I thought I would try some others – and have just found the Tesco one to be very good – surprisingly so. Why don't you try it and decide for yourself rather than simply believe something someone has written in a book?
But don't go telling people it's better than Illy because it's not.
But, old chap, I didn't say it was better than Illy, I simply said it was good.
Maybe I am a bit more tetchy than normal, what new father isn't going to be sleep-deprived? But perhaps that brings into stark clarity the opinions brought to the table on here and in my altered state I am happier to speak my mind – and I took personal offence that you can't accept that I can have an opinion which is different from yours.
