    Unfortunately I won't be able to come tomorrow. I am feeling pretty unwell at the moment and don't feel up to the trip. Gutted that I can't come but hope you all have a great day. F

    I tend to go about 1 1/2 turns coarser than my espresso grind but again as D_Evans says you can pretty much brew any grind in the aeropress as long as you adjust the brew times accordingly. I find I like the coarser grind best but if I have been rushed in the morning and dont have time to mess...

    Hi and welcome. Well if you are looking to improve your shots, you have come to the right place. Pimping your kit sounds fun, haven't had my setup for very long so no pimping has been done yet.
  4. Coffee Beans
    I love it. I'm just getting used to it still a the moment. Tried their espresso blend when I went in to get some beans and have tried their Columbian and some of their Ethiopian. That was just what they had roasted on such short notice when I pitched up on a whim. Both good in the aeropress...

    Will have to fix that. I have, as of last week, an ECM Barista and a Eureka Mignon courtesy of the wonderful Bella Barista. So not much time to become a regular at Butterworths yet.
  6. Coffee Beans
    From the good old Bury St Eds. Not a regular customer yet, only just purchased the machinery to make the most of their wonderful beans. Plan to use them more in the future though having just sampled some of their beans.
  7. Coffee Beans
    +1 to the above. Also +1 to Tom and Rob being very passionate and helpful. Looking forward to getting more coffee from them soon.

    Do we have to post anything to express an interest in this in addition to an intro thread? If so I'm interested! I know I only ordered one for me the other day but I know my better half wouldn't complain if I ended up with 1 for her too. After all she has now decided she actually likes coffee

    I think the results from the last grind off are in this thread http://coffeeforums.co.uk/showthread.php?9554-Grind-off-update-set-confirm-and-venue. It's a very well thought out set of tests. Looks like it was a good day for everyone, im gutted I missed it.

    Looks fantastic. I can't wait to sort out my bench top/ island I have got planned so I can have my own little coffee space free of random other clutter. +1 to the above, which trolley is that? I'm still researching my best options.

    If I really wanted ready ground coffee beans (which I don't) I could go to say, Rave Coffee, and order a 250g bag of Signature blend ground any way I like delivered for ยฃ6.90. The difference being I know what beans are in the coffee, I know it has been roasted fresh, I know what grind I am...

    Thanks, believe me I am!

    Sounds pretty good still. You have to expect some little niggles like that. But, as with making coffee, as long as you learn the correct process (re-enable the timer after you have overridden it) it should work just right. I am definitely going to have to get my self one of these. I currently...

    These sound like a brilliant idea. Bit more expensive than your average timer switch but much more functional from what I can see.

    This definitely looks like some kind of torture device. Neat idea though.

    A lot of the higher end domestic machines look fairly similar it seems. Nice and shiny. Definitely not a bad thing though, it means you can make a choice on spec and price rather than looks. In that case I had better get practising. Don't think it helps that we only have skimmed milk in my...

    I did wonder about the spout being back to front, it works though and that's the main thing. It is in prime spot by the window at the moment but that corner of the kitchen is way too cramped. It is soon to be moved once I have a suitable bench top for it on the other side of the kitchen then it...

    At lunchtime today I had a rather large and very exciting delivery. My new setup arrived!!!! Quick note here that the service from Bella Barista was amazing and the packaging as everyone says is superb, no way this was getting damaged in transit. Here are the main bits unpacked and ready to go...

    Although I have only just joined I would be interested in attending if its ok. I planned to go to Bella Barista today to get my new machine, but I had car troubles so couldn't go would be nice to go visit and meet some fellow coffee lovers. I think there are a few others going from my neck of...
  20. Hi

    ๐Ÿ‘‹ Introductions ๐Ÿ‘‹
    Having spent months and months researching, pricing up, calculating etc (should have joined here earlier I know). I finally settled on a Expobar Leva HX and a Eureka Mignon grinder. Alas the Expobar was out of stock at Bella Barista and not due in till the end of September. I couldn't wait that...
