I tried the Fairtrade one 100% Arabica but tbh I 'm not that fussed about it. What would you recommend for Madame?
Instant or ground.

And I won't be sucking it up with a Tim-Tam straw.

I rarely drink it, so dh gets the cheepest I can find...& it won't be FT!

sandcastles · 07/07/2007 11:50

cheap...not cheep! I'm not a bird!

I use nescafe decaf at the moment - I have used some can't remember which it was - when I go shopping at Coles next week will look and see if I can see it again and make a note of its name.

why not use a tim tam straw - wuss!!

eidsvold · 08/07/2007 01:44

did you see they now stock green and blacks - was going to try some - what is the orange and spice one like??

ghosty · 08/07/2007 03:15

Can't believe your mentioned the N word Eidsvold
Suzy I don't like the Fairtrade Arabica one either ...
We are using whole beans atm (grind at home) "Grinders"
I will make it a personal mission to try out some PC beans if I can find some. Leo's do a bigger range of PC coffee from what I can see ... but you pay more for it.

eidsvold · 08/07/2007 04:28

ghosty - only one i can get in a decaf at the store that tastes remotely okay.

ghosty · 08/07/2007 04:32

I know eids ... not having a go, just at your courage

suzywong · 08/07/2007 11:19

well you'd better have a good one set up for the Sunday morning after the Saturday night before when you take me out and treat me like a Duchess in Melbourne in November, ghosty

yes, Maya Gold is delicious, eids.

ghosty · 09/07/2007 09:07

looks to book a trip to ghosty's place too

ghostyCLAIRE · 09/07/2007 23:15

Oh, yes! Eids, come ... you must! I insist!

eidsvold · 10/07/2007 07:33

suzy - could not see any in Coles today. Mind you had the three dds and so was doing the shopping as quickly as possible

suzywong · 10/07/2007 08:00

Hats off to eids for taking 3dds around the nightmare that is Coles (it's being sold and revamped, did you know?)

Sends eids some Maya Gold scented belches

My local coles is pants pants pants ...

eidsvold · 10/07/2007 10:06

i used the disabled parking as I have a red badge for dd1 who has no road sense whatsoever and would run off at the drop of a hat ( and she does). Had so many people nearly walk into a pole near my car trying to see if I had a badge as I had dd3 in the sling and was lifting dd2 and 1 into a trolley to transfer them into the special needs seat attached trolley.

Thanks for the belches suzy NOT

eidsvold · 10/07/2007 10:08

they really were very good. Dd3 went to sleep as she loves being in the sling and other than dd1 trying to put things in the trolley we didn't need ( but hey her dad does that too!) they were brilliant. I have to take them next week as it is just a busy week and only window for grocery shopping is wed morning and I will have the three of them again. So hopefully it is something we can attempt every now and then. I usually go of a night time alone! My one hour of peace sad I know.

GryffindorGHOSTY · 10/07/2007 22:59

I know what you mean Eidsvold.
DH took the children out for a couple of hours on Sunday afternoon ... what did I do with my time? Ironing and I really enjoyed it, double

eidsvold · 11/07/2007 01:22

i find being able to get things done like the ironing without having to attend to the dds makes me feel pleased too - sad I know.

anotherbadmother · 11/07/2007 01:37

I bought some fairtrade coffee that I think was called Scarborough Fair from Coles. The packaging was orange I think. I wont pretend to be a coffee connoiseur, but it tasted ok to me!

anotherbadmother · 11/07/2007 02:01

Not sure where you're located, but the OXFAM website lists all the retailers selling fairtrade around australia:
