  1. Coffee Lounge ☮❤
    All I'd say is look second hand. I got a good spaziale Vivaldi and an old but good Eureka Mythos for about £800. Have never had any wish to upgrade this setup for many years. I make coffee better than anything I can buy from a local specialty coffee shop. Oh and the best results in the cup are...
  2. Brewed Coffee ☕
    Thank you all for your comments. I prefer to buy better used equipment such as the virtuoso in the for sale section (but not sure I can convince the Mrs to pop to London for my Christmas present). Will have a closer look at the wilfa svart. Appreciate your time to comment. Thanks Adam Sent from...
  3. Brewed Coffee ☕
    I have been making more brewed coffee using a clever dripper and a Hario hand grinder. It takes me about 4 mins to hand grind beans which is difficult when rushing to work and dealing with a child. So have been thinking about a powered grinder. I'm acutely aware that success is predominantly...

    My advice would be to buy the best you can but buy used - then upgrade to the next best you can used. Espresso wise - I went from a crappy krups grinder to a fiorenzato f5 (bought for £230 and sold for £180) (which was good but wasted a lot of coffee), then upgraded to an old Eureka Mythos £350...

    Yes you're right - what was I thinking !
  6. Coffee Lounge ☮❤
    Saw this and thought it was interesting - I think it's an ultrasonic bath for a steam wand. Basically just like ultrasonic bath they use for cleaning jewellery - it's filled with water and ultra sonic vibrations remove dirt. It's been designed to suit a steam wand but at a vastly inflated price...

    If anyone is going to Lisbon I can recommend this place for wood fired neopolitan pizza - with wheat beer on tap ! Off the beaten track and very much a local place. Great seafood pasta and the pizza is spot on ! Be sure to book otherwise you won't get in ! http://www.fornodoro.pt/

    A picture of fabrica.
  9. Coffee Lounge ☮❤
    Nice to see this - a trip to a city usually involves me dragging my mrs around some researched coffee places. I visited last year and visited fabrica which I enjoyed also. Nice vibe there - found them friendly too. Craft beer there if you fancy it. I also visited the Copenhagen coffee lab...
  10. 🔎 Find a Coffeeshop 🔍
    Stopped by today for my second time with a work colleague - flat white was spot on (think i need to work on my own milk texturing at home). Colleague really enjoyed her hot chocolate. Handy for Hagley Road / Harborne /Selly Oak area of Birmingham if you're not local to the area - easy to park...
  11. 👋 Introductions 👋
    Looking forward to a good place outside the city centre. Will it be easy to park up nearby ?

    Yes cups.
  13. Sold
    Please find for sale my Fiorenzato F5 coffee grinder. It is in good clean condition - it is a solid grinder which can produce great extractions and great tasting coffee. I am only moving it on as I have purchased a Mythos grinder which I could not resist (and cannot really justify having a...

    I did remove the upper burr and cleaned it out thoroughly - but not being experienced to recognise a fresh burr or otherwise I'm non the wiser. Am reassured by the time taken for a dose (and really grateful for everyone's feedback and advice). Will be looking to get some beans with caramel...

    3 seconds churns out 17.7 grams - need to adjust a little longer to get 18 grams which would be about right. So not sure what that tells me - the steel burrs may be fine for my home use.

    Yes just priced the burrs up at £120. In order to keep my wife inside I will maybe get them nearer to Christmas. Have had a frustrating 30 mins dialling it in and am nearly there. I must say flavours are just that little bit more definite. Dark chocolate is clearly dark chocolate for example. So...

    Yes I'll change the screws when I do add the clump crusher. Have a few alterative ideas for the hopper - maybe cut it down and add a more substantial lid. Not sure - but the current one will be lousy for keeping the beans fresh.

    Just checked with Bella barista - clump crushers out of stock !

    I'm not sure if there is a difference in size between this and the eureka. Little bit of googling seems to suggest a difference in size - clump crushers for the NS seem to be pricey. I'll happily give it a try for £10 though.

    Thanks @cambosheff
