Comments on: Wake up and smell the coffee, Tesco shoppers http://readingroars.com/wake-up-and-smell-the-coffee-tesco-shoppers/ A blog about Reading Mon, 01 Dec 2008 19:34:17 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Ross http://readingroars.com/wake-up-and-smell-the-coffee-tesco-shoppers/#comment-27107 Ross Wed, 19 Mar 2008 11:38:06 +0000 http://readingroars.com/wake-up-and-smell-the-coffee-tesco-shoppers/#comment-27107 Lots of coffee posts on this blog at the moment, just thought I would chime in with my 2p's worth. I lived in Reading until last year, then moved to Wellington, NZ... Man, they love their coffee here! There is a Starbucks in Welly (natch - they are everywhere) but the locals largely shun it and prefer to buy their coffee from one of the many independantly-owned cafes / coffee bars. You can't walk more than a few paces without passing somewhere that sells coffee, I have no qualms about trying a random cafe here - when I was in the UK I tended to stick to Costa because it was the best of a bad bunch. In the office where I work, there is even a proper espresso machine where staff can make their own - soooo much better than the nasty vending machine I had to put up with when I worked at the Pru!

A Fairtrade latte's not a bad idea.
