    Nice but really all you need to make great coffee is
    1. Some beans
    2. A grinder
    3. Hot (not boiling) water
    4. Cafetiere
    5. Mug

    C'est-ca

    Turkish coffee (original and best):

    Coffee beans ground to a fine powder
    Put power (and cardimon/sugar if required) into a cevze
    Bring to the boil
    Pour into a cup gently, including lots of froth

    Thats the perfect cup of coffee.

    Ugh, why not just get a carton of cream and drink it straight? It is pretty much the same and Timmy's "coffee" costs more. If you really want you could drop in a couple drops of brown food colouring to give the cream the Tim Hortons "coffee" look.

    At the Guinness tour in Dublin they make four leaf clovers in the foam of your included Guinness but I suppose that is kind of simple compared to the posted coffee designs.

    Those are some fancy coffee designs. I hope the coffee itself tastes nice though. All the facny froth in the world is no good if the coffee hasn't been made well.

    Coffee tastes good on its own but it also tastes good with milk. Cream... well, if you like. It isn't bad. But I prefer something lighter. Froth appears hugely calorific but it's just milk stuffed with air. It's funny and somewhat luxurious. Gives you some additional comfort you need... probably first reason you resort to caffeine at all.

    I played around a bit today with froth and chocolate coating and a spoon. My froth was different, so the surface was white with a brown edge (that's what you get when you simply pour the froth on the coffee that comes out of my machine), then made a circle of the syrup and used the spoon to drag it a bit and create a simple flower-like pattern. It looked nice. :)

    Nescafe and Maxwell house are fine... if you like exploiting people for your morning beverage.
