    Has anybody else got a coffee plant on here? I have had one for 3 years but it has never flowered, I'm not that fussed if it does or not but it would be interesting to hear if anyone has managed it. I think the main trouble is, it was left in the care of somebody who didn't look after it very...

    Hi Guy's So I had a parcel waiting for me in the porch when I got up this morning!! All i can say is WOW and words to that effect! Before it arrived I was starting to get a little sceptical about its ability to make my coffee taste better, I was looking at what was coming out of my Mazzer on...

    I don't know if this phenomena is well documented or not but I noticed yesterday when I changed the tank water in Silvia from my usual filtered tap water to bottled Tarka Springs(which I use for brewed alot but never for espresso), suddenly the milk steamed completely differently, the required...

    Hi Guys, The new Strongman is due for release at Extract soon, it's a single origin espresso from Nicaragua this time round and it'll be a good'n, plus for every Kilo sold, a pound will be donated to Movember, so if you like a funky natural espresso then I suggest you watch the space!

    Hi All, I just made a brew with my new box of Chemex papers, I decided to go for unfolded this time as I was getting a bit fed up of having to throw away 3 or 4 per box of the pre-folded due to irreversible 'mis-folding'! Anyway, as soon as I poured over the rinsing water I was hit by an...

    Hi Guys, I'm having an absolute nightmare trying to decide on/find a grinder for brewed coffee only. I like the idea of a Vario equipped with the metal 'brew only' burrs but I'm looking to spend as little as possible and I can't find a decent source of second hand Varios anywhere, I know the...
