I too am sat here reading it sipping my coffee when I worked I used to drink an average of 10 cups of coffee a day now retired i am down to 3/4 cups a day when I was a smoker (stopped 25 years ago) I feared running out of coffee more than running out of cigarettes.
Gawd, you must've been wired
Don't burn your fingersGawd, you must've been wired
I'm down to one caffeinated coffee per day now, in the morning (after my first decaffeinated tea).
Proper wimp, me.
(Oh, it's made in the Aeropress btw, just to nod to the actual topic. Must try the inversion method today. New one on me, that).
I'm used to that...Don't burn your fingers
I worked shifts sometimes 12 to 16 hours so I needed it but now weaned Off it.Gawd, you must've been wired

Drank three teas while typing that?
Don’t drink much Yorkshire tea since I started drinking it black, it’s too strong. Now find Tetleys a better brew. Used to always have Yorkshire when I had milk in tea though, proper brewDrank three teas while typing that?
I also typed that slowly for you, cos I know you can't read fast
I also like a variation of teas. Yorkshire. Yorkshire and/or Yorkshire.
I used to use Coffee Mate rather than real milk, particularly at work where I used the Aeropress to brew pre-ground coffee and add Coffee Mate as there was limited facility to store milk. However, having discovered proper coffee, I now drink it black -- or occasionally a flat white in coffee houses or at home where microfoam is possible. I used to love Alta Rica; but having discovered real coffee, any instant seems disgusting
Currently, I'm in Melbourne -- which I'm convinced is probably the coffee capital of the World! In Olinda, there is a roastery that produces a decaf that tastes better than any coffee I've had in UK and their signature roast (called "Jesus Walks" -- I didn't ask why!) is about the best I've ever tasted.You'd probably be good with the Tetley's they sell in the supermarkets in Melbourne. The amount of tea in each bag is miniscule and we need to use two bags per cup to get a half-decent brew. We haven't been able to get Yorkshire tea here and so are looking forward to our first proper brew in months when we get back home!Don’t drink much Yorkshire tea since I started drinking it black, it’s too strong.

Its a great bit of kit. I've spent decades trying to find the best way of making a decent mug of coffee without all the faffing about, and I think once you've worked out the amount of coffee to put into the press to suit your tastes (its a heaped measure using the provided spoon for me), it provides consistent quality and it takes no longer than boiling the kettle, and I usually let the coffee brew for about a minute before slowly pressing the coffee into the cup. The only drawback is it only makes 1 mug at a time but it will do 2 smaller cups at a push (no pun intended). To get over this if it is an issue, I also bought the compact travel version to allow a faster second mug full, and that takes up less space on the van, and easily fits in a back pack along with a flask of hot water for walks away from home or the van. But as my wife lets her coffee cool down before drinking, I'll have brewed a second press and sat drinking it before she's starts hers, so it's that quick to do. I like a good Mocapot coffee but consistency is harder to achieve and takes longer to make multiple mugs without buying the massive 12cup version that brings its own storage issues.
