I have it on (possibly dubious) authority that the Germans love milk.

No, there are only two drinks. Coffee and beer. One you drink before
noon, the other, after noon.

Do you mean to say there are people that get out of bed before noon?

I've seen it done, but I did not partake. I think a syphon was more fun at
the time, and you don't want one of those in the bed!

A hot milk based drink is supposed to help sleep, hot chocolate or one
of the 'malted' drinks like Ovaltine or Horlicks etc. I'd think coffee
would be the worst thing last thing at night, or even tea as it has as
much caffeine per cup as coffee supposedly. Not convinced re beer (or
too much other booze) either. I'd have thought it would lead to needing
to needing to 'make a visit' ;-)

I think the idea is to get them out of it (the bed), as opposed to beer,
whose purpose is simply to get them out of it.

Coffee in the morning is different. If I can't get a decent cup of tea
then a good coffee will do. I took a while to figure out the mysteries
of French coffee. I prefer a Latte but they don't 'do' those. When in
France I have a 'grand creme', which is rather good and is like a DIY
Latte- if a bit 'heavy' compared to the skimmed milk version I normally
have. I don't risk tea in France. I don't think they have forgiven us
for Agincourt.

I like varuious teas and choclates when I'm in the mood for special things,
but with coffee I totally lack imagination. Nescafe Gold Blend, and that's
about it.

I like the Kenco stuff which I think is 'freeze dried' or some such. It
really is very good in my view. Makes a very good latte with skimmed
milk. Comes in a silver tin or silver refills. I sometimes grind beans
etc. but for a quick cup, it is too much hassle.
