    Search dog handler specialising in cash, firearms and DRUGS ! Now retired (early) and full time dad for our 4yr old, drinking too much coffee and working out how to spend more time in our second home in St Tropez.

    Ok just done 18g into 35g in 30sec with last weeks IMM and it was lovely. Thanks. Now if I go with a darker roast from Rave do I aim for the same ratio?
  3. Coffee Beans
    I see reference to freezing beans and I guess if people are buying 20kg they must be doing this as its a lot to drink before it goes stale. Can anyone tell me the correct way to freeze, to I rest then freeze or freeze straight away? How long before I use once its out the freezer?

    Thanks for that I will watch later when I am on a better connection.

    Thanks for the quick response. I use a Rancillio S26 with san remo (which is a rebadged fiorenzato f5) and I clean both regularly. I dose with 18g and usually get 1-2oz out in anywhere from 20-35 seconds. I use hasten IMM and have also had some Rave signature. The beans are always fresh but...

    Morning all Sometimes I make an espresso and it has a very sour taste (like eating lemon peel) and I am not sure what causes this?

    Reptilian Having sold a lot on eBay I have made £2000+ profit a month and most of that comes from buying from people on eBay and selling back to eBay with nothing more than a better listing. I would remove and re-list your item with some decent photo's on a nice clean surface and without the...

    Well Done WD and thanks for another great raffle.
  9. Coffee Lounge ☮❤
    With 18g this leaves an indentation before pulling the shot, also if I fit and then remove the portafilter the surface of the coffee is disturbed from the smooth finish after tamping. I am thinking I need to upgrade to an 18g VST, am I also correct that 18g in an 18g basket is preferable to...

    Hi Do I need to change my portafilter basket as the screw that holds the shower screen in place leaves an impression in the coffee puck when I load with 18g. Would I be able to get a better/ larger basket or would I need a different holder? i guess that if the coffee touches the shower screen...

    Well a big thank you once again for all the advice, just sitting down after making a couple of kilo's of sausages to a much nicer coffee. I did as suggested and left for 30 min after grinding and with the right ratio and another days worth of resting I am now getting a nice nutty flavour without...

    Thank you for that very kind offer but I have just been told to wait for father christmas :-) (Fingers still crossed for the raffle though)

    The weighing into the cup is now making sense and easy to do, I need to sort a tamper as I'm using something I cobbled together out of bits I found in the kitchen so fingers crossed for the raffle if not it will be next weeks purchase

    Right after 4 shots each a little finer I have got 18g into 28g in 38sec so maybe a tad too fine? but a much more pleasant drink, hopefully the rest will be down to the resting. As I don't have any rested beans at the moment I will try the tip of resting after grind then make a not of how the...

    That was my next point, I haven't I am too keen to get some coffee and I did not plan in advance but I have bought a kilo of signature and Italian job and I will also leave this weeks HasBean to rest until later in the week so I will always be resting the next batch.
  19. Coffee Lounge ☮❤
    No 75g was correct, it was in a larger cup as it was all I had to hand so very hard to judge quantity. The tamping is what I find difficult to judge, I have read 30lb of pressure but trying this on the bathroom scales seems quite a lot. I guess I should be aiming for around 1-1.5 fl oz at...
  20. Coffee Lounge ☮❤
    Can you please point me in the right direction, last week I must have been lucky as I managed excellent shots with my Hasbean subscription coffee but now I have moved to Rave signature and I am not sure whet I should be aiming for as I am getting quite drinkable shots but not none of the complex...
