    Personal i would use a Porlex or Hario hand mill, you can grind the amount of coffee you need in the time it takes for the kettle to boil. From everything i have been taught ground coffee goes stale within minutes but taking pre ground will still beet instant hands down.

    Had a little go on my aeropress that arrived today and really chuffed, it makes a lovely cup. I also received a heft 58.35 tamper which i was not expecting so soon. felt like a kid at Christmas coming home to packages

    The knock base are designed for taping the filter handle to dislodge coffee clinging to the side walls of the basket but it also courses your coffee puck to fracture and results in channeling which you want to avoid. I don't know what the quality of these tampers are like but i do know made by...

    Yea. You can also use cinnamon or nutmeg if you like. Some places mix espresso and hot water with drinking chocolate to make a thick source. Then put in a squeezy bottle to drew pictures on top. I generally don't bother but some people quite like it Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

    Yea i'm finding it the same as i only really drink small quantities of milk in coffee. I tend to avoid using it for milk based drinks at the moment which is a bit of a bummer. Thanks for that I will give them a call and might just get the single hole tip instead and save any hassle.

    Hi Jryans, I haven't used these pannarello wands before but from my understanding of how they work. They intake air from a hole/slit at the top of the wand and inject the air and steam in to the milk, heating the milk and making bubbles at the surface. Once you have made the volume of bubble you...

    Glad to hear that Thomas. where did you order it from? I was looking to get a two hole tip, Was it any improvement over the four hole tip? Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

    I'm glad it's of some help. I hope that works out for you or there's always the option of getting an original PF made naked if it comes to it. I'm most likely going to grind the hole out a bit larger when i come to getting a vst.

    No it fits the group fine but it's just the way its designed. It fits the rounded cherub baskets fine but edges sit quite close to the perforations in the basket. so i don't think a VST would fit. I will put some pictures up to show the design

    Any luck on the nacked PF? Mine arrived Friday and its not quite what i expected.

    Looking good. One jug I found to be very nice doing latte art with was the Motta jugs, a little pricey though at 25 quid. Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

    I'm just waiting on a cherub with a bottomless filter handle to arrive this Friday from espressoassociates.com. When ordering i asked about them and the group and he said E61 should fit but they could supply one for the fracino machines at ยฃ38.40. They aren't up on there website but if you...

    Thanks that's good to hear but i shouldn't be moving it around much so i shouldn't have to worry to much about dropping it and damaging the floor. I normally use the powder cleaners and haven't had much problems but have seen people suggest liquid form rather that the powder before. I probably...

    Thanks guys using bottled water rather than filtered tap water sounds quite a good idea. I'm very familiar with back flushing and general care of coffee machines so i should be able to make it last. Temperature surfing wont be much of an inconvenience and once i set the grind i should imagine my...

    Thanks Glenn, my only worry is to spend that money for problems to then start occurring after the warranty expires.
