I've got into coffee more recently, get me. Bagged a coffee machine in debenhams for about £35 reduced to clear from £120. Not too shabby, and it actually makes a really good espresso. Not quite as good as cafe gusto down the road, but not far off at all. I think what you give it is probably more important than the process for absolute taste (in terms of beans).
I like tea too, earl grey by far my favourite.
