  • stavros commented on the thread Aeropress Grind Comparison.
    My current brew method is nice and simple, so it's very repeatable: 17.5g ground at slightly coarser than filter on my grinder prewet...
  • stavros commented on the thread WBC UK entants beans!.
    I think the UK Champ uses beans roasted by Origin. Yeah, here it is http://www.origincoffee.co.uk/news/maxwell-wins-ukbc-2012.php
  • stavros commented on the thread Aeropress Musings.
    I've spent the weekend using that championship brew method (with Limoncillo), and I do like it. It's quicker, simpler and I suppose...
  • stavros commented on the thread What's in your cup this morning?.
    I know Shrewsbury Coffeehouse use Jabberwocky as their house blend. It's my personal go-to Hasbean blend too, but FWIW I've had more joy...
  • stavros commented on the thread What's in your cup this morning?.
    I opened up the Limoncello on Monday and had a top class pourover with it. The sweetness was definitely caramel or toffee rather than...
  • stavros commented on the thread Extract ''Lord Dunsford'' UKBC 2012.
    Damn it, bad timing for me too. I was worried I might run out over the long weekend, so I'd just ordered two bags of Nicaraguan from...
  • stavros commented on the thread What's in your cup this morning?.
    I've been practically downing Hasbean's Ethiopian Sidamo as aeropress in the last few days. Tried a couple of espressos with it over the...
  • stavros commented on the thread What's in your cup this morning?.
    I took a punt on the Ethiopian Sidamo Deri Kochoha Guji Washed. Only arrived yesterday. I made a V60 which was sweet, berry and...
  • Or these: http://www.coffeehit.co.uk/diner-mug/p658
  • This is true, as much as I love my V60 I wouldn't really consider it for work because It's really difficult to use without a pouring...
  • stavros commented on the thread What's in your cup this morning?.
    Isn't great when you truly nail a shot? This afternoon after work I decided to open a bag of Extract Original (roasted 6 days ago)...
  • stavros commented on the thread Next order.
    This is how I like to buy my coffee too. My tip would be Formula 6 espresso and one of the African single origins for filter from James...
  • stavros commented on the thread Unkle Funka.
    Hugely impressed so far. Four or five shots in I've been getting that massive sweetness on first sip. Not a chocolatey sweetness but...
  • stavros commented on the thread Red brick difficulties.
    I'm just coming to the end of the bag. I try not to touch Square Mile beans until 5 days post roast these days (good job too as the...
  • I'm afraid I don't understand your goal. You would make coffee at home and then deliver it to people's workplace? Wouldn't it be cold by...
  • I would love to run my own coffee equipment shop in the style of Gail and Kat. Sadly I don't think there'd be much call for it in my...
  • stavros commented on the thread £2400 v60!!!!!!!.
    Wow. Free delivery though!
  • stavros commented on the thread Extract Coffee Roasters.
    I want to try Unkle Funka but I'm scared of the funk! Since trying the Mexican La Yerba from Hasbean a few months ago (the only Hasbean...
  • stavros commented on the thread Making a brew station.
    Not quite a brew station perhaps, but has anyone ever seen or used one of these.
  • stavros commented on the thread Hypothetically....
    Flavour for me too, I don't think I've ever been very affected by caffeine. So I never use it as fuel. In fact I often sleep after...
  • stavros commented on the thread Gaggia naked portafilter.
    I'm not feeling the love for my bottomless portafilter to be honest. Some beans (Union Revelation and Extract Original) have given me a...
  • stavros commented on the thread Coffee Continents.
    What a fantastic question. God! There's some great coffee from Central American countries around. Having said that, I think I'm going to...
  • stavros commented on the thread James Gourmet Balance Espresso.
    This seems to be the replacement for the Caffe Naturelle blend which I had a few weeks ago, which was a Guatemalan and Ethiopian Sidamo...
  • stavros commented on the thread What's in your cup this morning?.
    The Oporapa is a winner isn't it. I hope Mr Leighton bought loads of it, because I want to return to it soon. That said, I haven't tried...
  • stavros commented on the thread Aaaaah! Bank Holiday!!.
    I enjoyed the Dr Strangelove. Certainly going on my list of go-to blends. Just the sort I like: caramel, nutty with fruity flavours and...
