Coffee Appreciation

I've still got a Sage Grinder Pro for sale.

I'm moving out of my flat next week so will let it go for £60 if someone can pick up from Camberwell this week.

SOLD SOLD SOLD

Possibly. What's the model number?

Hah possibly on this too! What't the story with it? All working fine?

yep all working fine - switched to a eureka as it fits under my cupboards more easily.

Anyone interested in free arabica beans which I purchased in Jordan?

500g of very dark roast
Most of 1kg of dark roast

I tried to cheat on @StevePeel and bought them last week while in hols.
I find them way too roasted for my liking, and can't get anything I like out of them - either espresso or french press.

Paid 12JOD per kg, that's £13 / kg which surprise surprise, was the most expensive 100% arabica beans the shop had.
The shop keeper defo saw me coming!

way too roasted for my liking

you'll get used to it don't worry
start smoking, it helps with the transition

It think it is more for turkish coffee so would be passable if blended with cardamon.

I feel like I am using ashes when I do an Espresso.

Pick up from New Cross or The City!

feel like I am using ashes when I do an Espresso

ok stop smoking

I feel like I am using ashes when I do an Espresso.

this is what happens.

i can't go back to dark roast either. when i run out of proper coffee i'm wandering around waitrose picking up a packet of Union and thinking, "ok, i guess this will have to do".

omg what's happened to me?

can't go back to dark roast

wait I thought it's once you go black you never go back ??

The free jordanian-roasted beans are now at my work EC2V

500g of very dark roast
Most of 1kg of dark roast

I'll have those off you if that's OK. I work very close by.

What sort of condition is this in? Pretty interested

If @KDense drops out I'll take the dark roast for my mum, she loves adding cardamom to dark roast.

Sorry its sold

@KDense came to pick up the beans.

He might pass some back on if he doesn't get on with it!

No problem!

Enjoy @KDense

Cheers - you'll have first dibs if we don't enjoy them.

Am I the only one forging on with dark roast then? I seem to be out of sync.

Nah, me too but I'm a plebe, I even prefer an Arabica/Robusta mix!

Just tried "The Barn" Huye Mountain beans in the espresso machine this morning - came out an absolute treat.

@andyfallsoff - I hope the replacement beans are equally as good.

Just wanted to thank everyone on their advice for an office coffee machine a few weeks ago. I put the suggestions to everyone and people wanted simple espresso style coffee. No grinding, no learning how to use the machine etc. We ended up getting a Delonghi Magnifica bean to cup espresso machine. I was pretty skeptical about the quality of the coffee it would make tbh. But with some Climpson & Sons beans it's making perfectly drinkable Americanos. Vastly better than the Nespresso and good enough to stop me buying a proper coffee every morning.

Ace, glad you enjoyed it!

Barn beans are always great, I've finished the low caf Laurina that I got in the same delivery but they were equally delicious
