  7. +1 to doing it yourself but the chains in order of preference for me:
    Paul
    Nero
    Costa
    Starbucks

  8. I've never been into Paul, but there is one just a stones throw from work. If you can find them Coffee Republic are pretty good. I never understand why some people get really down on the big chains. They complain because they're successful :eek:

  9. Starbucks sell coffee flavour milkshake. If you order a regular size coffee, they split the espresso in two and pour one of them (half the espresso shot) away - how does that work?!? I always have to order an extra shot if forced to go to Starbucks as it's too weak otherwise.
    Costa is my preferred, although we used to go to Nero a lot but there isn't one near work. Pret actually make good coffee too, so do Leon.
    I've heard that coffee lovers actually like McDonalds coffee as well, but whether this is strictly limited to the US outlets is the question. I really don't like McDs food, so it's very rare that I'm in there, so can't say for sure.
    Maybe we need to ask some of our flat-footed friends on the forum what they recommend, as I'm sure they spend a lot of their time hanging out at such establishments...

  11. The coffee in Maccy D's is indeed rather good, but going in there to get it is another matter all together :biggrin:

  12. I like McD coffee it is good but Starbucks all the way unless BF on McD, their has brownies are great.

  13. MacD is a good substitute if none of the others are available.
    Coffee Nation is a very good coffee too

  14. Coffee Nation? the one in Esso garages? Wild Bean at BP is the way to go :biggrin:

  15. Coffee nation isn't any particular brand petrol station I don't think
    Last coffee nation I had was BP
    :)

  16. The only thing in MaccyDs thats good is the latte and the espresso coffee - (the coffee in KFC is putrid!)

    Fave coffee outlet chain has to be Pret-A-Manger - cant believe no one else has mentioned Pret in the top lists....!

  17. Eat make a good coffee, and I'd take Costa over Neros any day as Neros way too bitter for me
