Goroka, the current speciality coffee pod in the Nespresso range is, alas, deeply sub-interest. It is too bitter with no depth of flavour; quite simple and unsatisfying if I am honest. This is a shame as I have had some great coffee from Indonesia, from where this hails. I'll stick to Ristretto and Arpeggio, the strongest two blends. They make damned-fine cups of espresso.

I am currently drinking Meantime Brewery IPA, it remains my favourite beer of all time. Earlier I had a bottle of Meantime Oktoberfest-style beer, and it is to that which I wish to draw your attention. Sainsburys are currently flogging it for £2.20 a four-pack, which for beer of that quality is a real bargain. The 'Taste the Difference' range of Meantime beers are normally good value at £4.39 a four-pack so this is an incredible bargain. Get yourselves to Sainsburys now!
