Greggs Coffee Is Addictive - However ....
Discussion
Im a coffee snob, not to a massive degree but I only really like Nespresso and stick to the one type at that (blue lungo)
However I fancied a quick sausage butty from Greggs and the offer is ANY hot drink and a saus / bacon batch (were up north) for £1.99 (Coffee is £1.40 large)
I was impressed with the coffee, however its addictive, I now cant wait for my fix in the morning so much more so than anything I make myself or have bought elsewhere - do you think they put an addiction additive into it
Its not the coffee issue as such BUT the conundrum is - coffe £1.40, coffee and a bacon roll £1.99, Im a 2nd degree porker and should go from weetabix to lunch without further intake but a 60p bacon roll is hard to pass over - kills me every time, every time I have the roll
To make it worse the lunchtime deal of a sub, drink and packet of walkers makes it a £5 all day deal - I suggest they do an evening meal option for £5 so for £10 you have the whole day covered
Anyhoo, the coffee is addictive, in my imagination or is there a cunning masterplan at work ?

NOT RLY.Greggs - Where Jeremy Kyle gets his audience with a big net. (To badly quote some comedian who I can't remember)
^^^Was my second thought.
ETA - Judging by the time of your OP, I think you should switch to decaf.

Never tried Nespresso - is it as bad as people are making out?
That brand goes by a gloriously naff name: Nespresso. Its products taste perfectly acceptable. At The Fat Duck or Sketch, you may even find them to be memorable.
