Coffee Ice Cream with Espresso Sauce

2007-07-18T10:21:00.000-07:00

Try this dessert idea – latte macchiato ice-cream with espresso sauce and cream, over-the-top? mmm... maybe, but if you love coffee you owe it to yourself to try this at least once...

Iced Cream Espresso

2007-07-11T09:05:00.000-07:00

Try this simple iced espresso recipe at home, for espresso lovers only. I made three of these while doing the video, and I have to tell ya they were awesome. The video clip were I make the drink got corrupted so I was only left with the "recap".

To make the drink: prepare some espresso, mix with sugar in a cup, let it cool, pour over a glass of ice, strain this into a frozen shot glass, pour cream into the glass over a spoon, then top with some foam. Delicious!

Folgers – Happy Morning

2007-07-11T08:38:00.000-07:00

More like "Scary Morning" – why did these yellow ghosts walk out of the sea? What does that mean? Why aren't the people in the ad as scared as I was watching it, can't they see these crazies?

Instant Laser Coffee

2007-06-28T06:51:00.000-07:00

Erm... yeah, if I had an industrial laser beam I'd probably make my coffee this way. I'd like to see them do bacon and eggs – now that really would be amazing.

Greek Frappe

2007-06-25T06:22:00.000-07:00

Look what you can do with a little battery hand whisk. So this is a "Greek Frappe". I've never heard of it before (shame on me) it's the most popular coffee drink in Greece for the last 30 years – the guy is funny too.

It even has a write-up on wikipedia.

Will Ferrell Tries to Get a Cup Coffee

2007-06-24T08:57:00.000-07:00

I forgot about this scene from Kicking & Screaming in which Will tries to get a coffee with some timewaster at the front. I have to say timewaster, not to be unkind, but I have experienced this kind of situation myself – many times!

I kid you not, today, yes this very day, I walked into Pret-a-Manger in Notting Hill Gate, as I walked in another guy walked in just behind me and THEN in the distance between the front door and the counter actually overtook me.

So I’m like “fine you won’t spoil my day pal, I’ll get some carrot cake”, and then the guy didn’t even buy a coffee, he bought two pastries! ARGHHH!!

This is a time waster.

Of course I’m not saying you have to buy coffee from a coffee shop, no, not necessarily. But if you’re going to push in at least buy a coffee, at least let it be important.

If you don’t understand watch the video, then you’ll understand. If you still don’t understand then you don’t love good coffee.

Sorry.

I thought I knew coffee until I saw this. Very creative and skilful use of coffee – I went out and bought some chocolate sauce!
