  1. Brewed Coffee ☕
    As you will understand, I have wasted far too much coffee in the early days of learning and some of the questions were as i said too complicated and really unnecessary. One point I did forget is that nobody I think has mentioned water temperature. I use a thermometer each time and start the pour...
  2. Brewed Coffee ☕
    As I said, people are making this subject far to complicated. I make 200 ml of Thai coffee per pour over, light tamp. I couldn't answer the other questions 'cos I don't know.
  3. Brewed Coffee ☕
    I think you can get a bit too complicated about brew rates etc. I have been brewing pour overs for many years initially trying to find a suitable coffee and method. The only changes that I have made recently is to lightly tamp the coffee when it is in the filter before I start the pour. A firm...

    Some not too bad coffee places but good coffee is made at home

    Some Members may recall my recording that Starbucks had made me a great tasting coffee some months ago. I regret now having to record the opposite. To explain, this week I visited a large Shopping Mall to obtain a special part for a shower unit. Whilst walking to the place I spied a new...
  6. Coffee Beans
    An espresso blend with South American beans was delicious. A Member on another Forum also reported that all Sumatra coffee tastes lovely

    Don't agree about the Starbucks comments. It depends on who is making the coffee and the beans! I ordered an American at Starbucks last year and and it was fantastic. Somewhat tastier than I have achieved in the last few years. I asked where the beans came from and was informed they were a mix...

    Let's put it this way. There are so many lovely coffees World wide, why woud anyone want to brew and drink second hand coffee that came out of an animals backside. I know that Vietnamese people drink it but they also eat dog meat! More interesting to me, a novice, is that I'm still trying...

    And a nice welcome to you. You are right, we have lots of experienced Members from whom I have learned a great deal since I arrived. Have fun.
  10. Coffee Beans
    I can now buy from a reliable Importer in Bangkok. Just binned a Brazil Santos which was my favourite in the UK. The Santos had never seen Brazil as the taste was horrible in spite of trying a few different pour overs and the Europress. Yes I used to brew the Lao coffee mentioned above and...
  11. Coffee Beans
    I read elsewhere that Yingacheffe beans are highly liked by regular drinkers. Can somebody who has tried them please give their opinion? Thanks.

    Garydyke1 for me, firstly with pour over help and more recently a recipe for making a decent cuppa from the Areopress. As you can see I don't have espresso headaches or own a shiny machine.
  13. Coffee Business Owner Support Forum
    To give a more balanced view on Starbucks, may I say that by far the best cup of coffee I have ever had was made at my local Starbucks outlet. They told me it was a blend of South American and Indonesian beans. And I don't doubt that they do indeed have a fair trade approach to purchasing...

    I guess I could arrange for an Australian contact to buy one and bring it with him when he visits Bangkok. But mail is a no, no because too many things get stolen.

    I read somewhere that Europress filters can be re-used? I don't think the Europress is selling too well in Bangkok and wish to preserve my filter stock as long as is reasonable. Also, I cannot find a local Supplier for the metal filter . I always use the same beans and assume any taste left in a...

    Back to normal for me too. Thanks for your effort to solve it

    I click new posts when I log in and have been taken to the search page for at least three days this week. Was there a Forum update which caused it?
  18. Brewed Coffee ☕
    Sorry for a rather late reply. Due to lack of time I have been buying my iced coffee from a local coffee stall. Two days ago I decided to make a pour over which was my first failure for many months. So this gave me the incentive to try the Europress again. Previous attempts had resulted in...

    I have tried very hard and failed to think of any products I use resulting from any cruel tests upon animals. But drinking civet coffee, natural or otherwise produced just puts me off totally.. If you like it, so be it
  20. Brewed Coffee ☕
    Thanks MWJB. About half the water drips out before I get the plunger inserted so I guess this is not unlike my pourover brews which I make often. I have been using lower tempratures and will try to follow your suggestion more precisely. Would still like to hear opinions on the best Brewmethods...
