Hi all - it depends on what how you define 'lurking'! I have 'joined' and enjoyed the content for months but only posted for the first time this week.

I am not a user of forums but I have learnt a lot here since starting with my Delonghi machine and Krupps grinder (at least it was a burr grinder)!

Since then I have been using a Flair everyday and paired it with a Compak K6 that was converted to single dose.

Next step is a Mara X and a JX Pro (you can tell I like the tactile side of things)! I can't wait to get going when it is finally delivered.

Like many others, thanks for all the quality advice and chat!

One question - is there a bar to accessing group buys? I would be interested in the Osmio but I am not sure I am eligible.

Cheers, Niall

Hi all, jumped on in there. Lurked on some others, but thought I'd register. What's the worst that can happen? I'm sure members feel the same about newbies. Anyway, looks good - glad to have 'local' advice, the international perspective is great, but not always relevant.

I've been coming to this site for years. Great advice and even better community. Look forward to enjoying the forums even more as member. Thanks to everyone here that has given so much time to help one another in our never ending coffee journey.

Been researching machines for a week or so and kept on finding links back to this forum so it seemed like the place to be! Was a long time user of the Aeropress (office coffee was awful!) and bought a decent enough bean to cup machine for the home about 5 years ago. Has served me well (and is a hit with relatives) but want to make the most of my 3-4 coffees a day so ready to invest some time, money, and effort to take a step up. Looks like there is a lot to learn!

A couple days, got recommended by a member I met during an "illegal" London lockdown brew-up. Probably should consider advertising this blog in E1, many others in my position! 🙃

Hi all, long time lurker (these forums were usually up there on search results for most coffee related queries so figured I should actually create an account) and just wanted to say thanks to all the contributors as I've learnt so much from these forums.

Look forward to trying out the coffee roaster recommendations and getting involved in discussions.

Hi All,

I've been looking for an upgrade to my Delonghi and lots of the google searches were directing me to the forums here so after couple of weeks I decided to register here.

Lurking... I'm really good at lurking. As far as the forum goes probably 2 or 3 months..... Wasn't really sure if joining a forum is my thing, but I've done.....

@SpaceWomble Welcome to the forum, loads of people lurk, a few join. I think you always get a little more out of joining.

Don't think I lurked as such, but endless quests for information over a month or so quite often brought me here. Or does reading all the pages in each post you hit count as lurking?

Being directed to this forum from reddit, took me less than a week because wanting to join the coffee after tasting how good fresh grind coffee is (just using cheap hand grinder and aeropress).

Been around a month or so on and off. Keep looking for answers to questions on google and ended up here quite a lot, so thought I may as well join up, make a brew and say hi!

Hey Eric,

Same here - I can find all the answers related to coffee here. It is nice to know there will always be someone who can help you with these specific questions.

 

[Caffienator]

About a week, I was encouraged by how helpful your members are to new users, so dived right in.

 

[stephhyland]

Hello, nice to meet you all, it wasn't much of a lurk but I am currently in the process of upgrading my coffee machine and a friend of mine mentioned that a while back, when he was upgrading, he came to this forum asking for some recommendations and it was a great help, so I decided to join!

 

[Rehan]

About 1 week. Didn't know what to post. Now it amazing to join you guys. I am a Coffee lover.

 

[Kisol]

Hi all! Lurked for more than a year since I don't usually do forums. However, whenever I search for tips on google, it always leads me here so might as well chime in. 😂

I started on a french press then become interested in pour overs (V60, Origami, Chemex) and went down the rabbit hole with a flair sig. Hoping to learn more from the group!

I have browsed this forum for just 4 - 5 times. Then I have moved to the Britain so that I decided to join it. It's nice to know the local recommendations on beans, shops .etc.
