| What's the deal with the office coffee? Every shop I've been in refused to make coffee properly.2 tablespoons per 6 fl. oz. of water (minimum)If I wanted hot brown water, I put my cup under the tap in the bathroom.Is this an international problem or just localized?Jay White{0} |

| My guess is, it's localiSed.I'm very happy with our coffee, we just got a new machine which also makes 'Wiener Melange', 'Latte', 'Capucinno', 'Hot Chocolate' and SoupI like it! |

Melange = mixture, medley, assortment of things.Weiner = a pork-esque sausage type thing. Also slang for...uhm...something...err...Shakespeare like's to refer to it as one's "sword"...If you get my meaning, you'll understand my concern  ...Jay White{0} |

| LOL, yeah, now I remember the 'other' translation of wiener. I've heard it before.(FYI Wiener in this case is the capitol of Austria, Vienna) |

| Starbucks *IS* the way to go here!!If you prefer something more localised, there's wonderful Turkish coffee (hmmm...how can it be turkish then?), really strong coffee served in a small cup. Dont drink too much of that though, it can give you constipation real bad OS |

| Chai for me - Hot tea made with steamed milk rather than hot water. WARNING - don't drink that guano that Barnes and Noble sells called, "Writer's Chai." That stuff is nasty.Paul Tealpaul@partytilyoupop.com |

Our office has a Flavia machine that makes either coffee or tea, one cup at a time. Each cup is consistant and there isn't ever any burnt coffee pot. There are lots of flavors of both coffee and tea. I think its the best thing since sliced bread! *************************Got some code from Rob. Can anyone help? |
