Coffee Appreciation

If I was getting a hand grinder now, I'd be looking at the Rhino. Though my Porlex is still perfectly fine after 6 years.

I agree. I’ve got a Porlex which has been fine for years. But my brother got a Rhinoware grinder recently and it is noticeably better.

Ta; my localish indie coffee place sells the rhinowares so I will probably pick one up next time I'm in.

@withered_preacher looks ​shiny; what is it?

It's a Zassenhaus Turkish grinder.
I've had mine for almost a dozen years, use it twice a day for mokapot coffee.

Received and installed the Marco SP9 filter brewer today. Means I can make filter coffee by the cup with excellent consistency, and not twat about with a pouring kettle unable to do anything else for 5 minutes.

Looks great, bit out of budget for home use! :)

This isn't though. I love ours, does the same thing just not so theatrically.

Yeah I was kidding really.

I can see the advantage of one of those in a shop

what model is that?

That's the Technivorm Moccamaster KBGT. The T in KBGT, for thermal is the important bit - no hotplate. Makes up to 1200ml but works very well down to 500ml. The one-cup version is also very good for those without coffee drinking partners.

That's a great idea. There's a coffee shop near me that makes great coffee but only let down by very slow service. The whole operation seems to shut down any time someone orders a pour-over. I'm going to show them this.

StevePeel if you ever get an abundance of coffee, give us a shout and I'll happily buy a K or 2 of beans (I'm sure there will be a proverbial queue in here)

If i ever get to be in your neck of the woods I will definitely pop in for a brew and a bag. (Is there a secret Lufgus handshake?)

DAS, no?

I've always had a problem with shops using domestic brewing methods in a commercial setting. There's a big clue as to why it fucks up service and you get a queue of impatient shitty expressions.

Enter discount code PukesOnCock

I love discount coffee, but I don't know if I'm prepared to do that to you just for it...

What's the latest view on dairy free milk for nice esprssso based brews?

I drink black but partner has milky drinks and we're looking at non-dairy options.

Ta.

HILAND CAFE in Roman Road.
If you need extra boos
Guys do bulletproof coffee there too

Oatly Barista is the go to non milk option for most of the decent cafes near me.

I'll second the oatly option. Steams well, you can still taste the coffee, instead of just soy/almond. For me it is the best non-dairy milk alternative, and closest to regular milk.

Oatly are actually doing a pop-up in the shoreditch boxpark at the mo, with free coffee if you try it with oat milk.

Thanks both @jdp @mrs_socks

Another big +1 for Oatly Barista

Late to this discussion, but a britta water filter goes a long way....
