    Hi all, I am taking part in one of the 2014 Big Fun Runs that are taking place across the country, on the 25th October. I am raising money for a gym in London that provides training and support to people with disabilities and long-term health conditions. If you would like to find out more...
  2. Brewed Coffee ☕
    It's been a while since I looked on the message board and feel very much out of the coffee loop. So what's new. . . Any fantastic, must-try, new roasters / beans / brewers / brew methods / grinders ? I'm drinking as much coffee as ever, but have become less finicky about the process as I have...

    I'm in the market for an auto-drip machine. Was fairly set on getting a Technivorm, but have had trouble finding any UK stockist, apart from coffeehit, but they only have the steel carafe version and it's out of my price range. thecoffeemachinelondon sell them apparently, but it seems they've...

  4. Brewed Coffee ☕
    We all prattle on about the important of grinding fresh and brewing precision, but when was the last time these weren't an option, and you had to just make do? Is chucking some water over some coffee and crossing fingers all that bad? I spent the last four days away from home and couldn't be...

    Shit just got absurd: http://sprudge.com/andy-sprenger-aeropress.html I'm going to give it a go of course, though I might filter the final brew through a Chemex paper into a french press.

  6. Coffee Beans
    Wanting to try something different to the usual roasters I buy from, I had a look through some alternatives and ended up giving Edinburgh based Artisan Roast a shot as I liked their website and choice of beans. They offer a taster pack of 4x100g bags of coffee for £10 + delivery. It's designed...

    I was at the Lichtenstein exhibition at the Tate today. Turns out he invented the bottomless portafilter:

    Hello I'm looking to sell a Gaggia Classic from 2007 along with some bits and pieces. Machine history: Christmas present to my Father. It got a bit of use that Christmas then sat not doing anything until four years later when I took it off his hands. I gave it regular use for around 4 months...

    Personally I refuse coffee unless it contains a floater.

  10. Coffee Beans
    In the year just gone, I learnt a lot about coffee and tried scores of different beans. Here are the five that have stuck in my mind. It's worth noting that throughout the year I've been learning and honing the craft of making a good cup, so there are whole bags I got through that if I had now...

    Hey, not sure this is strictly the right section for this but it seems roughly applicable. I received an email from Union offering me a freebie if I "enlisted" a friend. So... If anyone was thinking of trying Union anyway, I have a code that gives you 20% off your order. If you prefer coffee...
  12. 🔎 Find a Coffeeshop 🔍
    Inspired by someone else's thread and the realisation that I hadn't had a coffee from any of the "big chains" in almost a year, I thought I'd give each of them a go to see if they're really all that bad. Things may well have changed, and to wax ad infinitum about third...

    One bottomless portafilter for the Gaggia Classic for sale. Originally purchased from Happy Donkey (http://tinyurl.com/c4w3zxx). Now surplus to requirements. One very minor scratch on it, functions perfectly. £20 + postage (I'm not sure how much this would be as it's quite heavy, maybe £3-£5...

    You don't see much mention of the Kalita wave round these here parts. I'm canvassing opinion as I'm getting itchy for a new brew method to try and get my head round, fail, then resort back to aeropress. I definitely want a CCD, but I'm trying to hold out till the new versions hit these shores...

  16. Coffee Beans
    I opened a bag of beans today that in my opinion has been over roasted, or at least roasted too dark for my taste - they're not oily but pretty black. I'm reluctant just to chuck the whole bag away - at a push I guess I could grind it all and call it new burr seasoning - but when there's so much...
  17. Brewed Coffee ☕
    Warning: if you're wanting any definite conclusions, don't bother reading all this junk. My new burrs for the Vario arrived this afternoon. They're made from steel and meant to be better for brewed coffee, while being unable to grind fine enough for espresso. Unless I'm imagining it, they seem...

    I'm trying to change burrs and I'm pretty rubbish when it comes to this sort of thing. I managed to get the top one off it's carrier, but the bottom is proving difficult. How do you remove a bottom burr, when the whole thing rotates once you try to unscrew it? Thanks
  19. Brewed Coffee ☕
    For reasons beyond my control, I'm in the market for a new French press. Was wondering what people use/recommend here? I'm actually very tempted by the Espro despite the cost - I probably would've impulsively got one on coffeehit already had they been in stock! However if I can't twist my own...

    Union are doing 20.12% off (in honour of Jubolympics) up until 31st of August with this code at the checkout 'GB0712'. I've never tried them before but thought I'd give them a go since this evens their prices a little. I still chose beans at the cheaper end of the scale; ended up with three...
