    My kitchen is consistently pretty warm due to south facing doors and the only available cupboard space is by the oven so I can't put my beans there. I store my beans in their original bag in a dark corner of the room, but I'm beginning to think the ambient warmth is dulling the beans. After a...

    I think there are several IMM subscribers on the boards, so I thought it'd be good to have a thread to discuss the current beans separate from the 'What's in your cup this morning?" thread - compare tastes and brewing methods etc. This weeks - Bolivia Copacabana 2012 How's anyone getting on...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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...

    Evening all, My sister has seen one of these machines - Kitchen Aid 5KES100 http://tinyurl.com/c7cpsba - second hand for cheap and asked my advice. I've never heard of it and don't know what to make of it to be honest. The fact that it's Kitchen Aid and called "artisan espresso machine" make me...

    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...

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

    Hey, I'm putting together an order for a few things from happy donkey, and thought I might as well throw a bag or two of beans in. Any recommendations? Ta

    A while ago I conducted a somewhat slapdash experiment comparing bottled mineral water to London tap water. I pretty much drew no conclusions but the variables were all over the place so any I might've made wouldn't have been too useful. Today I thought I'd repeat the experiment but get as...

    If you're ever unfortunate enough to find yourself inside Westfield mall, Stratford you can do a lot worse than a refuelling at the Grind Coffee Bar. It's located at the arse end of the lower floor near Waitrose, which is just far enough from the more popular shops to provide some respite from...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...
