Not Just Wine: Douwe Egberts Coffee

Snooth Wine Search:

I draw the line at drinking a strawberry milkshake, complete with strawberry garnish, paper parasol and pink bendy straw, in a bar on a Friday night (unlike two male friends!) but, and this surprises quite a few for some reason, I'm rather partial to a pint of real ale, the odd gin and tonic or two, late night rum and cokes, ice-cold Thames tap-water and the odd German wheat beer. Hence my participation in Mark Dredges' beerswap.

A decent coffee is THE only thing to get me brain into gear of a morning too...

Despite the apparent wine-centric focus on Spittoon the intention was to have coverage of other drinks; not just alcoholic ones either. This video is the first of three from Douwe Egberts those fine Belgian coffee people... for those in the UK these will lead eventually to a little Douwe Egberts competition...
