    Thanks Mr Boots!
  2. Coffee Lounge ☮❤
    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...
  3. Brewed Coffee ☕
    When using the Technivorm, since I've no control over pour or temperature, it's only the grind that I alter between brews. Other than taste, I'll consider the time it takes to drain and what the bed looks like once drained to figure out whether to go coarser or finer.
  4. Brewed Coffee ☕
    Last summer I made some cascara cordial as an alternative to cold coffee. Overnight steep of water and cascara, then filter. Next reduce over heat in a saucepan with some sugar to make a syrup and leave to cool. Dilute to taste with still or sparkling water over ice. Tasted a bit like cherry...

    The water here is muck. I like the taste of it on it's own, but it scales up a kettle quick-fast and mutes most non-chocolate flavours in a cup of coffee.
  6. 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 like the look of your page. Clean and clear like that stuff teenagers put on their spots. I've tried that recipe with the AP before and think it works well. Question regarding Wordpress: is there anyway to get line indentations for the first line of a new paragraph without have a line break...

    Thanks for the warning sdeleng. Fortunately I ended up going for the Technivorm and am happy with it. A similar thing happened to me when I was cleaning a glass/plastic Thermos: think I was a little heavy-handed with the scrubber and it exploded in my face. No lacerations thankfully!

    If you're using 1.5kg of beans to make 60L of coffee, that could be why it tastes bad!
  10. Brewed Coffee ☕
    I'd suggest buying a grinder and some good beans first, then seeing how you fare with the current equipment. You might find you can make a decent brew without changing everything. Beans are always most important. Trouble is, 60L worth of coffee means about 3.6kg of coffee! I'd have thought that...

    I use Waitrose essential or Tesco Ashbeck, depending on which shop I'm near, as they're both relatively cheap. You might find it tastes better, but be aware that mineral water will extract at a different rate to the tap water, so you may need to adjust grind, steep time etc.
  12. Coffee Beans
    I tried a couple of espresso blends from JG a couple years ago, but that was using a porlex hand grinder I think, so couldn't give a fair judgement. I'd recommend their filter coffees though.
  13. Coffee Beans
    For filter, if you like SqM and Workshop, it's worth trying James Gourmet. It's a similar roast level and the quality is great, but the prices are much lower.
  14. Brewed Coffee ☕
    I'd have a go with a higher temperature. Should help bump up extraction giving you more wiggle with grind size and steep time. At the moment I use my Technivorm to fill up the AP which on paper puts out water at 95c. That probably drops by at least 5c once it's in the AP. When I used a kettle...

    It is pretty faff free. Just be sure to stir a lot, or leave it sitting there for ages.
  16. Brewed Coffee ☕
    The pages & puzzles would have to make the coffee for me, and give me a handjob while doing it, to even consider buying the Mail. Middle-age can do one!

    The Technivorm need not be the death of your other beloved thingies thanks to its rotating water dispenser. I give you the Aero-Vorm:
  18. Brewed Coffee ☕
    I'm tempted to get a gold filter for mine. Do they let any fines through? As for method, I've had mine for a month or two now and am very pleased with it. I always use light roast. I make 700-800ml at a time on the slower drip setting. I don't cut the flow for any length of time or stir etc. I...
  19. Brewed Coffee ☕
    I got mine from coffeemachine london. I emailed and they responded a week or so later. I think it's a small operation and they were on holiday. Once we were talking the service was great - fast delivery and correspondence, no problems with the technivorm itself.
  20. 🔎 Find a Coffeeshop 🔍
    Popped in for a refuel at the Tapped and Packed on Wardour st yesterday. After a few mediocre, and one undrinkable espresso from other reputable sources lately, I'm pleased to say the Kenyan SO espresso I had here was fantastic. Big blackcurrant sweet taste, gloopy mouthfeel - delicious...
