Coffee Appreciation

it's not so much the special coffee mug that gets on my tits, it's the seeming inability for anyone that has one of these to breath through their noses.

apols for shitpost.

Well, when you're training it in from the commuter belt you need something to ease the butt hurt of paying for no seat.

train wanker

harsh but fair.

I own one but at no point is it ever more convenient for me to make a coffee and carry it with me in said cup as i will have drunk it by the time I get to the end of my road and then i'm stuck carrying an empty cup for the rest of the day.

If i'm in a rush I can just neck the coffee in a couple of seconds before I step out of the door.

they seem to only make real sense if you're the kind of wrong'un who asks for their drink extra-hot so you can sip at a big cup of burnt milk for the next hour.

coffee breath. an inch away from your face. and the slurping... oh god the slurping...

I own a couple of Keep Cups. I've never used either of them.

I've never understood the concept of mobile coffee.
The standard volume alone boggles.

Used one for a while but it kept falling out of the cup holder on my beach cruiser on Farringdon Road.

Should give it another go now that it's been resurfaced.

Any recommendations for a good supermarket bean atm? The Sainsbury's tanzanian peaberry seems to have dissappeared, much to my chagrin.

All of this

Union bright note is very good when fresh.

I really like Waitrose 1 Monsooned Malabar. Union also nice, but pricey for something I'd get at a supermarket. Though the aforementioned Bright Note is tasty.

On a different note, had a splurge in Small Batch the other day - this is absolutely delicious:

What's wrong with a spoon?

Is it artisanal?

James Randi couldn't bend it.

Am in Jamaica for the nest couple of weeks, worth picking up some blue mountain coffee beans? Was thinking of grabbing some duty free at the airport but if anyone knows of anyplace else worth checking out would be amenable, am currently in negril and ocho rios later in the week..

Ah those were yours? I've been using them on my train journeys to work to annoy people with my coffee breath and mouth-breathing...

worth picking up some blue mountain coffee beans?

Yes. Very mellow stuff.

Pressure tester, pump, solenoids, anyone need them?

metal can leave a taint in your coffee. the right wood is more inert.

granted, it makes no difference at home but in the shop we try and serve the absolute best that we can, hence things like this matter, marginal gains and all.

nah, will isnt an artisan, he's a carpenter

did it arrive yet?

Lovely thank you.
