    I have found that the gaggia evolution is considerably cheaper than the cubika and classic. Is this a reflection of the quality of coffee it can produce? I havent found many, if any, helpful reviews so far. Does anyone have any experience with the evolution?

    I think I've mastered consistently producing microfoam from miss Silvia, but I seem to have developed a problem; If I leave my beverage for a minute or 2 lots of very small bubbles rise to the surface, it looks a lot like very small bubble wrap.... Does anyone else have the same issue? When...

  11. Brewed Coffee โ˜•
    So... I thought I would start trying to accurately measure how good my coffee actually is. I thought it was good but not I have measure it I'm a little off.

  14. Coffee Beans
    Received my beans on Saturday and had to cup it as soon as I opened the bag and smelt the beans. A slight lighter roast than the Arabicadabra but what a beautiful blend.

    I had a bit of spare time today so I thought I would go through my Has Bean orders to figure out how much I sent on the last 12 months. Total came to ยฃ399.85 and that's without the hardware costs (Silvia, jugs, tampers, etc) Would be interesting to see why the average spend is
