So, has anyone tried Java the coffee? I want to try it - is there anywhere on the high street that will sell me a cup? I don't want to go and buy a bag of beans, grind them, and then boil them or what ever you do to them to get coffee!  Do Starbucks/Nero/Costa sell Java? _________________

I don't drink coffee. Don't like it. I love the smell but not the taste.

I hope so, even if it is it's not that funny though _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

I don't understand? Java is a island that produces coffee. Why is it a joke to want to try it?

I think our local tea and coffee shop sells it, but I've not tried it.
I was disappointed last year working at Sun, there were a few cafe counters called "Java Cafe's", but they didn't sell Java coffee...

Java is a really good coffee, rich and full bodied and with very definite chocolate overtones. When I lived in Darlington there was a cafe that I used to go to and would order a cafetiere of java along with a slice of their sticky toffee meringue and it was a taste explosion. I would say always have java with something sweet as it compliments the chocolatey overtones of the coffee. I would also say that it's one of the few coffees I prefer to drink black as I feel that the taste of java is adversley affected by milk.

Because it would clearly be more suitable in the general discussion area for one _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

Of course. Taylors of Harrogate do a very good java and all major supermarkets have their own brand packs of java ground coffee. EDIT: Mind you, if you mean the likes of Starbucks then no. They might have it in occasionally as a guest coffee, but not as a regular option.

Ah okay. Doesn't look like I'll be trying it any time soon then. Hmm, I still don't quite understand the response but meh. _________________
