The Overshare with Gemma Atkinson - How much is TOO much to spend on coffee?! | Lost In Translation

Episode Date: February 4, 2026

When does a coffee machine become a good investment? And at what price should it start farming its own beans? We’ll be answering this and the age old question, should you confront noisy neighbours or just suffer in silence? We learn why we shouldn’t talk to Gorka whilst he's snoozing, the consequence of arriving to the function spoon-less, and what trip hazard Gemma has been leaving out this week.

Anonymous. Anonymous. Anonymous. This is a person who haven't revealed her identity, which we keep it like secret. That's like the trolls on Instagram, isn't it? Thank you, Jolene, for the picture. They've said, hi, Gemma and Gawker. I would like to ask, did Gawker get the coffee machine?

I started listening to your podcast last year and the coffee machine was a big part of your chats. I also have now started listening from the start and the coffee machine is still being discussed. My husband and I got a coffee maker for our birthdays in November last year. It was expensive, but we love it and we use it every day. Photo attached for gorks. Lovely one, eh?

So, yeah, an ominous person. Anonymous. What am I saying? Amonymous. Anonymous. Anna. No. No, Emma. Anonymous.

Anonymous. You're doing an ominous. Anonymous. Or aminonious. That's what you're saying. And it's ani, like anus? Person who that we do not speak of. Anonymous.

He hasn't got his coffee machine. It's Jolene. Just call her Jolene. Yeah. No, Jolene. He hasn't because it was far too expensive. Like I've said, many, many of times, we could go on holiday for nine months in a beautiful villa for that price.

Well, should we do a... Should we do a game? Yeah, let me bring my phone. In these iPads, there's a calculator, isn't it? Okay. Let me do this now. Because you know what? Fun enough, talking about coffee,

I just went to an espresso shop today to buy some new coffee pots, yeah? I order some on Amazon. I drink coffee like water. I feel like even the kids drink coffee and even they don't drink it. We have a lot of coffee in our house. It gets 12 o'clock and I have already three coffee pots of espresso. This is why he's so highly strong. So I'm going to do this.

maybe George Clooney if you listen to this in your holidays send us a coffee machine, yeah Are you going to work how much it is for the pods? No, no, no. You just said it's very expensive, yeah? I think for the coffee machine it is. Yes, but then you just buy the coffee beans

with a bag of coffee beans, one kilogram it will cost you £5, yeah? And you can make probably a lot of coffees with those £5 pounds beans, yeah? Now, let me do this. You said the coffee shop, the coffee shop, the coffee machine is very expensive. The one that I wanted, yeah?

Thousands. Yes. The one that I wanted, yeah? Not that one that you saw, because you saw the large one. Yeah. I want just the home edition is around £3,000, yeah? So today I went to buy coffee, yeah? And I pay this amount of money, yeah?

Let's say those coffee pots that I bought will last us a week, a week and a half, yeah? So four weeks a month times four, yeah? That times 12 months of the year, yeah? How much do we spend on coffee? So in one year we will spend 3,600 pounds Which is about right where it costs the coffee machine You spend more than that Because you buy coffees out of the house as well

Yes, and you too Fine, so if I get you this coffee machine Who's going to clean it? Who's going to filter it all? Who's going to take the beans out and refresh them all? Because you can't just like let coffee beans stack up They start getting mould on them Yes You have to clean it, filter it

Refill the milk charge and all that by that. in there. Well, I don't want powder milk. It's just a coffee machine with water. It's hot water in it and you just connected it's connected to the pipe of the water. For three and a half grand, I want it to grow its own beans.

Do you know what I mean? There we go. So, ladies and gentlemen, Gemma's expensive coffee machine is where she spends in coffees a year just at home. Well, we'll see if the Easter bunny brings you a coffee machine.

Friggin' out. This is where you spend, yeah? Yeah. But if we are on top of this, yeah, let's say six months of the year, yeah? I spend them travel. Yeah. So, or like, even, let's say, strictly time.

I'm in London, yeah. I have two, three coffees a day, yeah? I go to Gales, for example, a coffee shop. It's coffee, even if it's an Americano, it's £3.40, yeah? Especially in London. So if I add to this, £3.40 times three a day, yeah? Where was it in London when you went for a coffee and it was seven quid? It was at the, you mean the hotel?

He messaged me. He said me a picture. I have the recipe. He had the recipe. He means the receipt. I just felt like I've been by the back. You mean? Been shafted.

Yes, and arrested after. That's how I'm going to feel after buying a coffee machine for three grand. No, because I'm making you coffee. Okay. Topless. It's an extra point. Oh, George Clooney, step aside.

And also, that coffee, you know what? It wasn't even a proper coffee. It was a black Americano, which it was dirty water. Yeah? And there was little cups. But it was an instant and they just ripped you off. No, would you know what she was more embarrassed? service charge

Service charge? Yes On a coffee? I go charge service charge on a coffee just to bring me the coffee from the coffee machine

to the table they was from here to there Yeah I have the ticket on Instagram But you still paid it and drank it

Yeah So 340 A coffee Times 3 a day That's 10 pounds in coffee You've made your point People aren't

Come here for a math lesson 7 71 pounds a week Times 4 Yeah How many weeks 7 on the month 30

In the month? Hey, Siri, how many weeks there is in one year? 52. Oh yeah, 12 months, yeah. Times 52, yeah? See, that confused face says it all. We really are lost in translation. That's ridiculous.

There we go. You can buy three coffee machines, Gemma. The reason it's lost in translation is, as you can see, Gorkas Spanish, as you can hear, if you're listening, if you're watching on YouTube, you can see. Would you mean I'm Spanish? I'm from Manchester in the UK. We do occasionally.

get lost in translation. We like to think our relationship is a bit of a spanky union edge to it. But we do listen and we don't judge until we get home. We don't know what's coming in most episodes. Well, in any episodes, the producers just tell us on the day.

We see on this iPad what's going to happen. I do, because I read the cold shit the night before. Yeah, but I mean, we don't know what's coming up in terms of games or anything like that. Oh, yeah, no games, yeah. Last week, when it came to our debates, you were wondering who's winning in the debates. I think we've had, is it seven or eight so far?

You're in the lead. You've won four debates, I've won three. So so far, our lovely listeners agree with you. Thank you. I will remind you this every day. And I'm sure after today's debate, I will win it to. Really? Yeah, and I have proofs on my phone.

What's your debate today? Do you want to get straight into it? It's something like a recall of already said this before. So probably I mentioned before in our house when you walk in in the, how you call it, the lobby? The hallway. The hallway in the entrance, no? There is a door under the stairs, which is where we hand the coats, put the shoes or like some, like Gemma puts her work back there. I mean, Gemma puts anything there.

Like one day she will put me there. And she has a shoe rack where she puts the shoes, you know, so we can leave a couple of shoes that we're like the slippers. so the shoes that you will wear outside in the garden or the kids' school shoes. Things that we oftenly wear, yeah? Yeah. Apart from Germany, you live 70 pairs there. Basically, all your shoes trainers are all there on the floor. So now and then I open the door and it makes my head inside.

I tell you. I mean, I moan about this about it. Well, now she's step again. So when she comes from work, obviously, she takes her shoes and leaves the shoe that she wore next to the door like we all do, like in the little carpet, yeah. and then maybe before better, for example, I tied up mine or were a kid's school shoes. So this morning I took me at the school and I came back, I opened the door and I have a picture. Is it wellies?

No, it's not wellies. I was going to say because they're there because I wore Benji. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they needed to be washed before they go away. Yeah, but here there is a pair of brown sandbars, pink shoes and blues. And Willis, yeah. So this is how currently, since yesterday. Three pairs of shoes.

Since yesterday, our landing looks. Do you know, when you get home, you'll be shocked because they've all gone. Great. They've all gone. The wellies have washed and in the garage. The other two are under the stairs. And the other one... Yeah.

I've worn today. They're outside. And to be honest, this wasn't my pit of the week, you know? Pit of the week. Yeah. So what you're calling it? The pit of the week. Is it that bad?

That wasn't my one today. But when I came home, I said, I was like, you know, Do you know what? I'm going to take a picture of that. Would you want me to tell you what mine is? I didn't have one this week. I thought you'd been on good form. No Victor Meldrew. I thought, do you know what?

This week he's been on fire until I just arrived here at the podcast. The spoon? Yeah. Yeah. So basically Gawker made some over. No, it's just because, sorry, I didn't know it. It was because when I left her at home, it was a spoon on top of it. It wasn't.

So then it was the word is the spoon? I don't know. I left a spoon on top of the ball. Gawker made some of it. overnight oats, then they looked delicious. He put loads of stuff in them. And so I thought, oh, I could do with some of them. So I made myself some as well this morning.

And that's good. And then when I was packing to come here, I noticed gawker's oats on the side. Mine weren't there. So I WhatsApped him and said, hey, have you got my oat? Do you want me to bring yours? You replied, oh, yes, sorry, I've picked yours up by mistake,

if you can bring mine in. So I said, no props. I arrived, walked in just then. He sat at a table. So I said, hi, yeah, and I gave him his oats. I said, here's your oats. And you looked at me and he went, spoon. And I said, what?

I've not bought a spoon. No, these are your oats. And you went, well, how do I eat it? And I said, but you brought my oats. Why did you not pick a fucking spoon up then when you brought mine in? No story, please. Bring your own spoon. Keep your own spoon.

And then I went to the kitchen here. I said, I'm going to fill my water bottle up. I'll get you a spoon. Went to the kitchen here. I brought you a spoon back. He didn't say anything. Say thank you. You just took it off me.

No, I said thank you. But you looked at me like I was, spoon. No, I didn't say that. I said, where is the spoon? You didn't say what is the spoon? You said, spoon. I would never say spoon. I'm not Tiago.

Do you mean? What did you see this morning when we absolutely laughed at how well he's talking is coming on? We said, what's happening today, Tiago? And he said, well, me ago school. Tiago go nursery. Mummy go work And then he goes Papa go

That's what he thinks Papa does all the time I know Mummy works Mia goes school He goes nurse for a new dance And he woggers there mom Yeah And but he's

Every single morning He comes out with something Ridiculous Mia was talking about RE this morning Wasn't she Yes Telling me about 10 commandments And all kinds of stuff

They've done all sorts Yeah and also You know what she said the middle of the day I found her like, yeah, amazing because she's only six, you know. Obviously, he's smart, but we went to pick up Tiago, and then we were walking. In Tiago now, finally, it's on the stage that he doesn't want to be carried from nursery, which is amazing. He's a chunk, in it? Yeah.

So he's even, it's not that I go, come on Tiago, go walk, and he used to go like, no, now. Now he's like, Tiago, let's go, no, Tiago, walk. So he wants to walk, so he's amazing. And we were walking. I was calling Tiago. And Mia was holding him. So he was in the middle. And they were walking to the car, and a car was leaving.

It was a smoke coming out. And Mia was like, wait, let me cover my mouth and nose. And I was like, why it's like, because that's very bad for you. And I was like, yeah, it's carbon monoxide. And if you breathe it, it can kill you. It's very toxic. And also, yeah. And she goes like, and also, you know what, when a carbon monoxide is in a room,

you should crawl and cover your mouth and go underneath because it doesn't go down. It goes up. This is why she has all those spheres though About fires and you know If we like last night she said to me I was I was handing over the I was putting Tiago to bed and you were downstairs with Mia And then she came to the bottom of the stairs

And she went mum are you coming back downstairs So I said well yeah I will be doing Because I wanted to make myself some yoghurt So she said to you papa do not put the alarm on Mum's coming back down And then she'd come back to me With the thumbs up and went I've told Papa not to put the alarm on

you can do it. When it was on Saturday, we had a sleepover, yeah? So she was, we were four of us in the bed watching the tell. Then Tiago went to bed and then Mia, you fell asleep. Mia was next to me and she was falling asleep. And then she was suddenly, she wake up and goes, Papa, are the candles off? And I was like, you're like, have you made sure that they are off? And I was like, yes, Mia, they are off.

It's like, okay. But I think it's because they did the, they started, you know, the London fires. Great Fair London, yeah, they've done that in school. So she gets obsessed with her. Yeah. And if there's any candles on in the house, if they start flickering, she doesn't like it. But we have to... In another note, my pith of the week, he was, last night.

Well, not last night. You know how I keep saying the, I love Benji and I love him to be it? I adore him. You don't want him on the bed. And I don't mind him sleeping in our bedroom, even if I want him to sleep upstairs. I want him to live downstairs. And I don't mind him in the bed when we go to bed and it's in the bed with us. You do that.

But if I say, if we go to bed, you go like, Benji get down, he needs to say down, or I don't mind to come in the bed in the morning we're waking out. I don't mind it. But with Benji, if someone moves or I go to the toilet, or you go to the toilet, or the kids wake up and we stand down. He wants to be involved. He comes back in the bed. Or suddenly, he decides to jump in and jumps in the bed.

And the problem is, the last night, Tiago woke up, yeah, and I went to see Tiago. Yeah. Came back. What was it? You said to me, I'm sure you were dreaming. She would, no, no, I wasn't dreaming. You were dreaming. She was saying something to me and I said, don't speak now.

Don't speak. He said, Gemma, don't speak to me with his eyes shut. And in the morning, all I said was, is he okay? I was referring to Tiago because he was crying. He came back in, I went, is he okay? Jammer, don't speak to me. And I thought, friggin' hell. And I thought, he must be dreaming.

And if I hadn't been tired, I would have, like, said, who are you speaking to? But because I was so knackered, I went bed. Then this morning, I questioned him and he said to me, because if you speak to me in the night I get awake. I become awake and alert. He says I needed to stay sleeping.

Yeah, and it happened. Like, for example, then it was when I am and then he woke up again and jimabye when she came back, I was back on my laptop watching tell it. It's because I'm a very light of sleeper. It's like, I guess it's different from me. So if I wake up. I'll sleep through anything. If I wake up and like get distracted or the light goes on

or I start to speak to you, I get away so that my brain switch off and I kind of sleep yesterday. Last night I spent like an hour in bed looking around like, okay, me thinking, go to sleep. And I was thinking trips. When I have to travel, then I'm going. Oh yeah, you do a checklist. Mums do that every night though. There's not, yeah.

Every single, the first thing you do when you wake up as a mum is what's happening today. And she moans to me. So Benji comes in the bed, yeah? And then doesn't even go in the middle. Like last night, he was flat out in the floor. She's the one, she thinks I don't notice. She's the one who rolled to the side. grab him, lift him and put him in the bed.

No, it's because he puts his paws on it. Yes. And he's pouring me. So you tell him no, get down. But what makes me laugh and I have to really... He goes in my side. No, I have to really internally laugh. Put the ass on my face.

It's because I'll wake up and Benjys, he's sat upright, just looking straight down at Gorka going, like breathing on him and Gorker's asleep. And I think if he was to just turn his head, he's just going to see what looks like a big Paddington Benchard. Like the other day, she woke up to the toilet or in the morning, he jumps in the bed, and he jumps right all the way out to where it's in my head, turns around, yeah? So he's not facing me.

He's facing away from me with his tail in my face. Yeah, because he faces me. And I have the face like this. He licks my face and the gawker gets twatted with the tail. Yeah. It's like human centipede with the dog. Last night, when you go up, I know it with me because she goes like, do something, not just do.

Because he just huff some boys. He doesn't do anything. Benji was leaning on him. No, it wasn't leaning on me. He was the noises. He was like, you could hear only this. He was chewing his feet and licking his willie. You would if you could.

No. You would? No, my own willie. Because you know where it's been. Inside you. Oh. But he does. Norman used to do that though, didn't he?

Do you remember bless him? He used to lick his feet. Yes. A little norm. And I used to. me, the art of me. I know, but you had no say with that one because I used to always say to him

Norman and Ollie, I've had seven years of my life before you came along. I can't say that to you, Avenger. No, it's fine. You have nearly nine years before Benji. But it's fine, like I adore him and I love him to be with us,

but he needs to stay downstairs. He's Spanish now, isn't he? Needs to stay in the, not downstairs on the floor. He's Spanish now, isn't? Yes. We speak to him in Spanish. He's from Gibraltar.

And he understands it if we need him. We say, vamos! And he does. Anyway, we've done. Who did you agree with in this week's debate, which has just spiraled into so much? Is it me leaving three pairs of shoes and a pair of wellies by the front door? Or is it Gorker having no manners when I brought him his porridge and not a spoon?

That's unfair. Let us know. Lost in translation. That's no fair. I do have manners. Powermedia. And I said to you, thank you. Oh, lost. dot, in dot, podcast on social media.

You haven't said thank you for the juice? It is? After I mentioned to you. I said, gracias. No, you didn't. Or you can WhatsApp plus O'Dable 7, 610, 39. Let's get it to 4-4, should we? Let's get it to an even keel.

Also, you owe me 450 from that car park. Yeah, he's had to pay for my parking today because the app wouldn't work. We're going to solve one of your dilemmas now, should we? Yes. This episode of Lost in Translation is sponsored by Whoop. For those of you who don't know, Woop is a wearable strap.

And it's mainly for you, Gawker. I'm going to read it out to you. Thank you for getting in touch, Ethan. He says, hi Gawker and Gemma. My name's Ethan, and my best friend is Joe. He runs your arse fan page. He is a huge fan of yours, as you probably know. Me of my ars.

Well, both. Maybe just your ass after he knows what you're like. Like I was wondering if you could make a video message for Joe for his birthday. If you could just say, happy birthday, Joe, have a great day or something like that. It would make his year. He's not having the best time recently. Oh, bless him. His birthday is the 10th of February.

I understand if he can't do it, but I thought I'd give it a try. I'll do it now. It's on for you so you can do it here. Yeah. And his birthday's Joe. Yeah, Joe is a lot without using your hands because he's got your fan page for his bum. Well, today we did a post and there's me hugging you and it's like the full size. his length of my ass.

Well, Gawker, he's asked for a video for Joe. There are cameras here. Would you like to look down your camera and do a personalised message for Joe? In Spanish or English? Why not one of each? Yes, in case, no? Yeah.

Hi, Joe, it's Goker here. We are right now in the set of loss in translation and we receive a lovely message from your friend and he had told us that is your birthday very soon, so I just want to wish you. Felice Cumballi Annios. Thank you very much for running my arse page. It's very kind of you.

and yeah, see you soon. There you go, Joan. Thank you for getting in touch, Ethan. Should we solve the dilemma now? Gorka's arse is sold. Right, this week's dilemma comes from Tony. Tony? Is it Tony?

No, not our Tony. We've got a friend called Tony. It's my friend's dad. He's 82 recently, won't he, Tony? Antonio. Antonio, is Spanish. He had to once come to the airport with me to pick up Gorka's parents.

because Gorka was on tour, so I roped Tony into picking them up so we could speak to them. But we've digressed again. Today's dilemma. Hi, guys. How long do you wait after moving in before admitting you've absolutely missed judge your living situation? All this is good. Me and my boyfriend just moved into our first flat together and we thought we'd nailed it. It's in a great location, decent price, good size, and we thought we hit the jackpot.

But that could be because we viewed it at 10 a.m. on a Tuesday. Now we are living here, we've discovered our upstairs neighbours are loud. Not just a little bit of noise here and there, that's fine, because that's life, obviously. No, this is music that rattles the walls, shouting conversations, stomping, door slamming, a mysterious late-night movement that I'll leave to your imagination, Dotty Swines. We've just moved in, so it's way too early to move out, so we're trying to pretend it's okay and also adjust to the fact that this is our life now. We want to be understanding, of course, people are allowed to exist, but it's a way.

It's hard for us to relax in our own space. I don't want to be the annoying neighbour to get off on the wrong foot, but we have never signed up to this. Do we say something now or wait until it calms down? No. If it's multiple times, yes. First one, you let it pass two, later it past. But when it's more than once,

and especially depends on the hours. If it's like 10 o'clock, okay, pass 10, 11. If it's midnight, we'll be calling the police. The police? Yes. You have gone man, can't you? The police. Yeah, 100%, you know.

And it depends on the noises. If it's other kind of noises that you just describe your imagination, you must join. Oh, no. Have you ever lived with noisy neighbours? Yeah. I normally am the noisy neighbour. I remember when I was living in London. But again...

You used to have music really loud in the morning. Yeah. The amount of times I had to tell you. No. Turn it down. It wasn't the morning. It was 8 o'clock. From 8 o'clock to 11 in the night.

8 o'clock in the morning. 8 o'clock in the morning. 11 in the night, 10 o'clock in the night, I will say, you're allowed to have noise, like normal noise, not like a rave. But in Spain is different, for example, because the walls are proper walls, not like here. They're like cardboard walls. You know what?

Yeah, you always say it's different in Spain. If I kick the wall in my house, I would have a hole through the wall. It's just like, yeah. Like, you are upstairs in our house. You can hear. You walk. I can hear you walking. In Spain, on a proper house, you won't hear anybody walking.

I think what the best thing to do is, I used to, I used to, I still do love a house party. Don't have loads though now, do it? But I used to have, you know, a random memory used to have one. Let's have a summer house party. Bring the neighbours. No, I used to go around the neighbours and just say, just so you know, I'm having a little shindig tonight.

So it might be a bit noisy. It's a one-off and they'd be like, no problem, completely fine. But if you were doing it all the time, it's just that lack of consideration. If you live in a house, fair play, not yourself out. if you live in a communal building where there's other people, there should be rules against that because that is a bit of a piss take. Yeah, but it depends. If it's a one-off, you mean?

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. If it was a one-off, you could let it slight. You could just... But if it's the weekend, it's fine. You could just send a little hamper with a note and just say, I don't want to cause any issues, but the noise is very, very loud, and it's really frequent. Is there any chance you could dial it down a bit for us?

Yeah. And then if that doesn't work, write another note, from anonymous, anonymous saying, you have no idea what I've done to your car. Just leave it. Stuff like that, get threatened. Toulin did that, you know.

He won't mind me telling this story. He told it on the radio. He was reversing into a space in Liddle and a guy cut him up and went right in the space and he said, I thought, you swine, I was indicating for that. And he said the guy started laughing at him.

Anyway, he went in Liddle. So Toulan got a note, literally in a pen and wrote that exact sentence. You have no idea what I've done to your car, and he said he left it on the guy's wing mirror and drove off. So that poor guy would have come out of the shop. Think what happened to what the hell has happened. But then, yeah, it's panic.

But no, I think you should, yeah, I would have to tell them. Yeah, I would go, yeah. If it's your forever home, you need it to be relaxing. If it's in a building, normally there's a building manager, no? Yeah, building maintenance. You report it to them. You report it to them, yeah. Or reported to the life, like, for example, to the landlord who sell your house.

maybe they has a, I don't know, I will do that. No? There surely has to be rules though in flats. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You get letters, yeah. And you get like one advice or two advices. And then on the third one and four, you might get a letter of like,

you need to leave the property. If it's not, if it's like a letting no. I think something like that. But anyway, I will go and tell them. Yeah, I would as well, Tony, because you're paying, like they're paying. You want to be able to relax. Like you say, on occasion, it's okay.

not too frequently and if you've just moved in it should be exciting and relaxing at the same time it shouldn't be a stress every time your neighbour wants to do that. It happens to us

sometimes looking at our insomnia in our house yeah? Like no even next to our house is on the like probably like five ten minutes walk down the road there is the little bar

they have the you know the bad garden yeah and you have live music live music and we are sleeping in bed at like 10 o'clock on a Saturday and you can hear the bloody acoustic guitar but I think that's our fault

for going bed so early on a No, yeah, it's our choice. It's like, it's 8.30. Who's making this noise at this Godforsaken hour on a Saturday night? We're just putting the shadows in the blindings now. You can still so bright outside. You could sunbatte. Oh, but good luck with that, Tony.

And thank you for getting in touch. I hope you resolve it. Our advice is to tell them. Knock on or send a note, but definitely tell them. If not call me, we send you some... Send you some... Lost in translation at bowermedia.com. If you want us to help with one of your dilemmas

or lost. Dot in dot podcast on the socials. We do read the comments on there, by the way. Do you know what made me laugh? Oh, there's another dilemma. Another one. Yeah. Another listening, Brooklyn Brigham

have sent us his dilemma. Someone made me laugh with the comments saying it's someone who loves you but hates me. We won't say the names because we don't want to judge. Really? Yeah. Why you can all over? No, I'm telling you it made me laugh

because it's true. She said, I never listen to you. I never listen to you and I always suggest to play games but then I just take charge and I thought, well done, you've listened well because that's true. I feel that. I'll give you the username and you can take it.

What's the username? I'm not going to say it because I don't want to throw her under the bus but it's someone who loves you and hates me which is normally the case, isn't it? And so they come round our house and they're like, Gemma, you need a frigging medal. You need a medal for putting up with him and his spoon ways. Hey, speaking of spoons, we've got a coffee game. I'm lost. I'm really lost now.

This week's game, we've spoken loads about coffee this week. I think that's why I'm lost. I need one. You need one. We're going to test our knowledge. So I've got questions for you, Gorka. You're the coffee king. To be honest, as long as you, I'm... To be honest, as long as it's not instant, I will have any coffee. I'm not really fussy.

Sometimes I'll offer Gawker a coffee and you'll say not from there. Because you are a bit of a coffee snob in a good way, aren't you? You're like, a good coffee for you is a social event. It's a pinnacle of your day. If you can sit and have a good coffee somewhere, you're happy. Yeah. So these questions are for you. It's like experience.

What is the name? I think it's a my Spanish thing. Sorry, we're going to diverse now. See, he speaks over me. That person on Insta, ain't me. Troll him. I wasn't speaking over you. Okay, go on.

You said something I just answered. Go on. What were you saying? I was saying that it's experience. It's like, for example, as Spanish, like, for us, go to the bar and have a beer, it's not the fact of we're going to socialize with our friends and catch up with our friends having a beer. For you guys, British, going to the pub with your mates is the excuses meeting their friends to get pissed. Yeah? Right.

For us, the excuses have a bit to catch out with our friends. Make sense? It's the opposite. Yeah, kind of. Same thing with the coffee. We go for a coffee inside, have a coffee. You know, I love to start on a coffee shop and do some work on the, like, some journaling on the coffee shop and have a coffee. Some journaling?

Since when did you journal? No, like, whatever you have to write down. You mean, like your programs and stuff? Yeah. Or do you have to write a list of things you need to do and everything, yeah. Hey. Look at you with your little journal journey. Yeah.

That's why I've tried to moan less to you because I write it on a paper. and then I burn it. Non taken. Question one for you, Gorka. What is the name of the drink where espresso is added to ice cream? Oh, that sounds nice. I forgot what? Afocato.

Yeah, it is Afogato. But that sounds beautiful. How come I've never had that? Yes, you have. When? In Spain. I've never had an espresso with ice cream. I would remember.

Gemma, you can me to tell you? How many times we were on the pool, yeah? I make you espresso coffee and then I put some ice cream of the vicinity. wanted. The Tenerife? Yeah. Not Spain. Yeah, it's the same.

Tenerife is an island. You thought I didn't know my continents. How many coffee beans make one shot of espresso? Give me a round number. How many coffee beans? Yeah. It's like the beans has to be blended and then you press them. It has a amount of weight and the weight I think it's like 80 grams or something like that.

I need beans, not grams. I don't know, like 50 beans. Oh! 42. There you go almost. 42 beans. Imagine if it was someone's job to count them out before making an espresso. Normally, I think if I'm not wrong,

it's by the weight of the coffee that you blend, yeah? By the weight is one third of the, in water, something like this. Of three thirds in water, I don't know. Question three is a true or false question, so it's 50-50 that you'll get it right or wrong. True or false. Italians drink the most coffee? False.

It is false. For a bonus point, do you know who drinks the most coffee? I would say Spanish, but I don't think it's even Spanish. No, it's not Spanish. Maybe Portuguese. No. The Finns. Oh, because of the last sunlight.

12.5 kilograms per person per year. Nice. That's a lot of coffee, isn't it? Go on the Finns. It's also because my reason, the quantity. Italian people didn't call a lot of coffee, but the quantity is not a lot. They only drink single espresso.

So it's little and often? Yes, and they don't spend time. They don't like experience. They just go to the coffee shop. And when you go to Italy, they had the little mux. Yeah, it's espresso with a shot of water, water to clear your palate, and then... So they just do it for, like, the caffeine to be awake. No, it's the rhythm of life also.

All right, well, you got two out of three. Nice. They're like that bad, is it? Well done. Have you got questions for me? Yes. Number one. I'm terrible with coffee, by the way.

But you probably love these months. I mean, I hope so If it's like going to be like Africa What alcohol do you put in an Irish coffee? What alcohol do you put in an Irish coffee? It's whiskey, is it? Yeah, I think whiskey, yeah. I'm going to go with whiskey.

Hey, Siri, which alcohol there is on an Irish coffee? On the sheet. Whiskey, oh yeah. Crikey, you do need a coffee. Yeah. Asking Siri for what's right in front of your face. So I got one right. There you go.

Next one. If you were to be served a dopio, how many shots of espresso would you get? A dopio? Yeah. Doppio is making me think of double, double. Correct, two shots. Yeah. What is a red eye?

A red eye? No, what pink eye is. A, an espresso shot with brewed coffee. Mm-hmm. B, brewed coffee may with double the amount of beans. C, a triple espresso. A red espresso. eye.

I would go with C because caffeine, triple espresso makes your eyes red. I would go with B because I'm thinking that the double beans would be the pupil of the eye

in the middle of the coffee. So it's A an espresso show with brewed coffee. Espresso shot with brewed coffee? Yeah. I know what it's called a red eye must make your eyes bloodshot.

So a brew coffee is a coffee that's been brew overnight, for example, yeah? Like when you have called brew. Yeah. And then after you get that coffee which is already caffeine in it, yeah? And then after you put an espresso on top of it. There's a lot of faff, isn't it? It's a lot of prep for just a coffee.

I just give me a cold brew. It's fine. Just give me a coffee with full fat milk. Anyway, we love coffee. We do love coffee. What are your favorite coffee? Just a coffee with full fat milk, a bit of a digestive on the side. I like a little biscuit with it. Have you been seen the...

I forgot it. I was going to bring it today. I made it. You know this going viral now. The Japanese cheesecake. No, I've seen it in the fridge. I made it. There's a viral trend where you just get a yoghurt, fade yogurt, or total Greek natural yogurt,

and you stick biscoff biscuits in it, like kind of dominoes all lined up, leave it in the fridge overnight, and in the morning, they've all like kind of sogged and it's supposed to taste like an American cheesecake. Everyone who's tried it has said it's incredible. Yours is currently in the fridge.

Yeah, because the biscuits gets really soft because it sucks all the liquid moisture from the yogurt. And then when you spoon and in it, it's like kind of like a, it's something to be just like a crispy biscuit. It's like soft like a sponge with the yogurt. Well, next week you can tell us all the trial. And also I saw another one, which I'm going to make it too, is the same thing, but you make a double espresso, pour the double espresso over the phage yogurt,

like with yogurt, mix it all. It makes it like a creamy like tiramizu, and then you put the biscuits, and then it's like a tiramizu. Oh. Vito will not agree with that. No, Vito will go mad if you make Teremosul like that, only? Have you tried his Tiramisou? No, is it nice?

Is it good? I'm not a fan of Tiramizu, but it's... Yeah. Oh, okay. You'll have to get you to send me a slice. It's very good. I'm not a fan of Teremosu, though, to be fair. Of all the desserts, it wouldn't be my best one.

I'd prefer a trifle. What's that? Similar consistency, but with cream and raspberry jam, as opposed to, like, alcohol. I think we're hungry, aren't we? No, just been five days with no sugar. That's all we've got time for this week. Thank you so, so much, though.
