DH thinks i have reverted back to the 1970s when milk was delivered in pint bottles and you could run out so had a tub of "5 pints" in the cupboard....(that stuff was rank btw!!)

but i love coffee with coffee mate. i now cant drink it with milk - coffee mate is so much creamier and yummy....
i drink Gold Blend and i think DH thinks im sullying it.

am i alone in my unreasonableness or is DH just being daft

I thought I was hungry but thankfully you have just made me feel sick!

(do people really drink gold blend? in real life?)

susiedaisy · 07/07/2012 00:29

Gold blend and coffee mate- bleugh!!

InelegantlyWasted · 07/07/2012 00:29

I'm not sure which is worse, that you're adding coffee mate to your Nescafé or that you're drinking Nescafé in the first place!

manicbmc · 07/07/2012 00:30

Coffeemate is vile

GetOrfMoiiLand · 07/07/2012 00:30

Coffee needs to be black like my soul

Alameda · 07/07/2012 00:31

(I like eating coffee mate though, mixing it to a thick paste with water)

ThatVikRinA22 · 07/07/2012 00:31

"Five pints yoooouuuurrr The Best! Oooooh Five pints yoooouuurrr The Best!"

Why do I remember that song from the advert all these years later Confused?

ThatVikRinA22 · 07/07/2012 00:46

we used to have 5 pints quite regularly and it always went lumpy.....but i too remember the ad.

that and tiptop "cream"...."aren't you looking trim mum".....im showing my age here!

coffee mate is nice though! really! im a bit of an addict....

milk, any sort of milky thing, and coffee (even instant coffee) just don't go

it's wrong, as wrong as chocolate and hazelnut or chocolate and orange

or peanuts anywhere with anything or prawns, or onions and garlic cooked together in a single dish - just because these things happen all the time, everywhere, doesn't make them TIGHT

Alameda · 07/07/2012 00:49

umm or RIGHT either

NarkedRaspberry · 07/07/2012 00:55

I don't drink milk, but:

GLUCOSE SYRUP, HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL (MAY CONTAIN COCONUT, PALM KERNEL AND/OR SOYBEAN OIL), SODIUM CASEINATE (A MILK DERIVATIVE), DIPOSTASSIUM PHOSPHATE, SODIUM ALUMINUM SILICATE, MONOGLYCERIDES, ACETYLATED TARTARIC ACID ESTERS OF MONO- AND DYGLYCERIDES, ARTIFICIAL FLAVOUR, COLOUR

doesn't sound very appealing to me.

Iamgiulietta · 07/07/2012 01:14

Oh good lord coffee mate is mingling... Gold blend however is just the best coffee ever lol

Iamgiulietta · 07/07/2012 01:15

Minglng , I should say. Stupid phone

fizzfiend · 07/07/2012 07:19

I happen to agree with you...god knows what it's made of but who cares!

Sunnydelight · 07/07/2012 07:22

Well gold blend isn't coffee IMO so I guess your crime against coffee isn't TOO bad Grin

ThisTimeNextYearRodney · 07/07/2012 07:33

Vicar I'm with you, but I have that Millicano stuff, mmmmm. My friend got me into it and now I don't like it with milk.

My mum is a coffee snob and she even enjoys a cup when she comes right. Therefore I declare us to be right

ThisTimeNextYearRodney · 07/07/2012 07:33

*comes round, even

sashh · 07/07/2012 08:46

Instant coffee in all its forms should either be banned or relabled 'disgusting brown powder'.

I love my coffee maker, it is part of my morning rroutine.

EugenesAxe · 07/07/2012 08:49

No I'm with you... I definitely recall thinking coffee with CoffeeMate was tasty but haven't had it for a while. It is nice and creamy isn't it?

Lot of coffee snobs on here aren't there?!

squeakytoy · 07/07/2012 09:00

In the USA they do liquid coffee mate (or creamer as they call it) and you can get it in loads of different flavours too..it is lovely and they should do it over here.

Molehillmountain · 07/07/2012 09:04

Ah-the power of advertising! I read "mellow birds" and saw a little smiley face drawn in the top of the jar with a finger! Doesn't make me want to buy it though Smile
