    What's the best milk for frothing? My wife brought me some low fat milk today and when I frothed it, it was well frothed but when I poured it into my coffee, it just disappeared rather quickly. Normally I use a pasteurized milk which presumably has more fat in it and the froth remains virtually...

    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...

    I read elsewhere that Yingacheffe beans are highly liked by regular drinkers. Can somebody who has tried them please give their opinion? Thanks.

    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...

    At the moment I use a hand grinder. I generally make one mug (two coffee cups) each time. For health reasons I would like to buy a small electric grinder, coffee specific of course I don't want a thing with blades but a proper grinder reasonably priced. Any suggestions? Thanks

    Actually I mean a Microwave oven. Just re-read it's instructions and discovered it has a Programme for popcorn which is 2.5 minutes. So presumably it will roast coffee beans? Anybody attempted it and can offer detailed guidance? I might give it a whirl if it can be done with reasonable accuracy.

    For some reason when I drink an iced coffee bought outside my stomach seems to digest it comfortably. But when I make a hot pour over at home topped with micro foamed milk it seems to fill me up and make my stomach not so happy.? The coffee I make is always carefully made, beans weighed and...

    It occurred to me that an AeroPress may be a good way to make iced coffee? Living in a hot Country as I do means that I buy a lot of iced coffee from the local Coffee Shops and only make the hot drinks myself. As I have now decided to buy one has any Member used the AeroPress for iced coffee...

    Confusing really. Reading readers reports about the complications of owning one of those expensive shiny espresso machines plus the dosh, available space and so on quite put me off. So I concentrated my mind on making a decent cuppa using a French press and later a pour over filter. I reckon...

    I've just found two bottles of mustard seed. Has anybody risked grinding mustard with their burr grinder? I would like to try it but after suitable washing I don't want my future coffee to smell or taste of mustard:act-up:

    Do Coffee Blenders add anything else whilst blending coffee beans or later when preparing pre-ground coffee? I ask because most of the beans I use come from the various Hill Tribes of Northern Thailand. The taste is generally very similar but in one case of pre-ground coffee the taste is very...

    Living in a hot, hot Country like I do one sees many coffee stalls making rather sweet iced coffee.I have now managed to persuade two of the better ones to cut down on the sweetness. But so far I've never attempted to make one myself. However, recently I read that if one does a cup filter brew...

    If you buy coffee that you don't like when brewed do you try another brewing method or just bin it as part of your expensive learning curve?

    Living in Thailand greatly restricts my choice for imported beans. I have recently discovered a Shop with a reasonable selection at sensible prices. Brazil Santos was always one of my favourite coffees which they stock together with Guatamala,Sumatra Mandheling, Vietnam, Ethiopia and Kenya AA...

    I have read in various places that drinking too much coffee is not good for one's health. On a cycling forum it was also suggested that if you drink one coffee it reduces your life expectancy by 50%. In my case, coffee drinks amount to perhaps 4 to 6 each week but I notice that some of our...

    Due to limited varieties of milk available for sale where I live I find some milks difficult to froth satisfactorily, hence two questions to help me understand. 1. Does increased fat content help the frothing process? 2. Is it of any help to add some cream to the milk before frothing? I...

    OK, I've got a hand burr grinder and two types of beans on the go at the moment. The colour of both bean types is fairly dark but I seem to feel that one type of bean grinds easier than the other? What exactly could that mean? The bean roasting level or perhaps the age of the beans? Oh, the...

    Today I think I slightly overheated the milk for my morning coffee. The taste was a little offish but the milk was quite fresh when I started. All other quantities and brewing methods were precisely the same as i have successfully used before. My question is if I overheat the fresh milk...

    For a good tasting cappuccino should the froth taste like milk? Sounds like a silly question but yesterday at a well known coffee bar the girl assured me she could. The presentation was good, the actual coffee taste was fine but the froth on top spoilt it tasting very watery presumably due to...
