I don't really drink coffee. I might have one if I go out with a friend or having a bad day and need a pick up, but thats pretty much it.

I really feel its now getting to the point where you are expected to have a coffee machine (or maybe its just my friends cool.gif ) at home. Now, seeing as I don't drink coffee, i don't see the need for a machine. I do have instant for anyone visiting who might like a coffee, but that is regularly getting noses turned up at it.

So, do you expect machine coffee when you visit or is instant ok?

I don;t expect a coffee machine but i would decline the offer of instant.


This is fine, and not rude. But please don't react like a friend of mine once: "Oh, do you only have instant? I never drink instant. I can never understand why someone would drink instant coffee."

So dramatic that I laughed, but it was a little bit rude.
