    I had 2.5kg arrive last week so as far as I know they are still ok. Love their chocolate point.

    I use 16g when I use mine and that seems to be the sweet spot, I weigh 16g and put it through the grinder. I find the best shots I get are when the pressure gauge is about 11 o'clock. I've had mine quite a few years and other than a repair under warranty (the safe descaling instructions werent...

    Thanks @Alfieboy, got some green beans and had a go at my first roast yesterday. Enjoyable process, time will tell whether it tastes good or not. I was aiming for city roast but I will be honest I am not sure exactly as I didn't hear the crack. Used a DIY cooler for now as I understand the Gene...

    I use Puly powder and Cafiza tablets. This was recommended to me by the engineer who fixed my BE under warranty.

    Thank you, I will start to look at coolers too, I understand fast cooling is important. This forum is always so great for advice and support, its why I love it.

    Wow thats very cheap! Definitely interested but that doesn't seem a fair price for you :)

    I live close to J3 of M6, so would be happy to meet if you are ever passing. What are you looking for it? :)
  8. Home Roasters
    Very interested, where abouts are you @Alfieboy ?

    Brilliant, thanks @Bushlin and everyone that is very comprehensive. I appreciate the link too, google wasn't showing me them. A new Gene Cafe is tempting but the hive also looks interesting too. I don't need a lot of coffee enough for one or two people at most. I was watching a gene but just...
  10. Coffee Beans
    Just a heads up the code seems to remove the free shipping that appears to be standard, adds in shipping cost which is then removed again with the discount. Confused me for a moment.
  11. Sage Forum
    Have to say after a few years now I echo the thoughts above. I don't regret getting the machine and it makes good coffee. Now I've got more experience I get more consistent results. The learning curve is steep but going back to my previous bean to cup machine at my parents the difference is...

    Did you end up selling it out of interest? Im still pondering one.

    It's quite a nice dilemma to have
  14. Sage Forum
    Mine certainly had no tablets or descaling powder in the box sadly, I had to buy them separately. They dissolve in a litre of water, sounds like your description? The stuff I use it below. For the tablets I use Cafiza ones...
  15. Sage Forum
    I find this interesting, the engineer chap who fixed my Sage machine (ironically for scale), I asked about using filtered/bottled water and he said the minerals are part of the flavour as long as you descale properly why would you want to filter them out? I guess I never really thought about it...
  16. Coffee Beans
    Ive been drinking northern edge from Berwick way, pretty much exclusively for the past few months. I am trying BB now but they served us well. They supply quite a lot of coffee shops and restaurants around there too. http://www.northernedgecoffee.co.uk/
  17. Coffee Beans
    Only supermarket I ever buy is starbucks and even then only when it has a recent roast date. That said its a very dark roast and not the best. I am waiting on my BB order and we are out too, so I may pop to the Waitrose on the M6 at Corley, never noticed if they sell coffee I suspect they wont...

    You are seeing some coffee shops getting rid of wifi for similar reasons (and others reintroducing it), to keep the tables free for people who want to eat and drink not just stare into their macbook. I don't think there is any perfect solution to this challenge but yes this could be seen a...

    A friend recommended the Handpresso Auto 12v electric one for my camper but I havent tried one.
