I found this product at Woolies. Tastes good. When you have no milk this will give you a morning coffee fix. No need to boil the water, just take it to drinking temperature.
I'm a coffee tragic, roast my own green beans weekly, have a home espresso machine and grinder that cost waaaaay too much.
My better half gave me a Rosco and Rossa combination http://www.portaspresso.com/ for my 70th a few months back, great coffee on the road, bit of stuffing around though.
Sorry people, messed up, now I cant work out how to delete the duplicate image, perhaps a friendly Mod can assist?

Just got myself an espresso maker, the old fashioned ones - water in bottom, coffee, screw on the top - there is a funnel and the water comes up through the coffee to the top chamber. Heat some milk - yumbo - very addictive though.

Very flash Santa but it does make a great coffee. My daughter has one and I use it at their place. I'd still love to k ow why it smells much nicer than it actually tastes. Tess
We use the Nescafé ones. Prefer the taste. Sachets are much nicer than stewed Themos coffee. Just carry boiled water and make up coffee when we stop. They are handy as you don't need to add milk.

It looks like there are only two of us I think coffee made in a plunger is much better than either the nescafe or mocona ones and I have tried both must say the boss loves the nescafe ones. There is a good range of already ground coffee's available and if I run out of milk a little extra sugar and go for black

freshly ground coffee beans is the only way to go for great coffee, and my Breville machine goes everywhere with me, but we only have one coffee a day.
Yep, sure do, have been roasting weekly for about three years.
Can be as simple and cheap or as complex as you want to make it, keeping it dead simple all you need is a stainless steel dog bowl or similar, a wooden spoon, a gas stove and about 20 minutes to spare.
Green beans are available online for as little as $8 a kilo and the quality is streets ahead of the stale stuff offered by supermarkets.
If you go ahead and order some suggest the less expensive beans up to about $12 kilo, bit of a learning curve but not at all difficult, only too pleased to offer assistance/advice if required

Just a heads up Wombat, coffee roasting generates quite a bit of smoke and chaff, because of this it's an activity best done in a shed or outside, SWMBO would not be at all impressed with the results of a kitchen roast.
Hmmm, I was looking at a site this morning that sells the seeds but they do not post to WA that maybe a reason, I will look into getting the equator moved down a bit
here we go ....just like the yanks, addicted to ya coffee first thing in the morning. Well I will stay true to my English herritage....A Cuppa Tea with Milk & 2 thanks.

what a stupid world we would live in if everybody was the same, you can have your tea with milk & 2 if that is your choice
I'll stick with Nescafe blend 45 (black with three sugar thanks). Used to love tea until I spent time in Sri Lanka adopting a couple of daughters. What we drink here doesn't even come close. Weird thing is, even the tea I'd been drinking over there that I bought back still didn't. Water, how it's boiled, who knows but I've given up trying to replicate a real cuppa.
