Coffee Appreciation

Cheers for the quick delivery @StevePeel - Just made a litre in the technivorm with 72g. Loads of life left in it - might even be in for a second kilo depending on how fast I get through/if there's stock left.

Nice one, yes should be fine for another delivery

Just bought my pack as well!

How much would it be to ship a kg to Ireland?

Ordered yesterday, received this morning by 11am!

Thanks @StevePeel - I will see how I get on with it but I already like the pink sticker ;-)

Just ordered as well. Will also have to do it after the event but it could be interesting.

Hi Steve, is there any of this left? Would be keen to take a kg off your hands - would you be able to send it ground? Cheers

be able to send it ground?

airmail probably over kill for domestic shipping.. (ha.)

I am at Taylor St Barista’s, St Paul’s my ‘go to’ coffee place in this hood.

Apparently, Taylor St have been bought out by Black Sheep.

Why do all the good things in life end up getting fucked?

Nice filter coffee setup there though!

Yes no problem just email coffee@yellowbourbon.co.uk with your delivery address and what we’re grinding it for and I’ll send an invoice. Cheers.

Getting some wooden handles for my ECM.

Although I am 6 months in the process and I still don'thave them, they do look good!

Thanks @StevePeel just brewed up before Postie arrived, so they'll have to rest a few hours!

What's the hive mind opinion on the best one cup morning brew method? V60? Aeropress?

I use Aeropress during the week at work and V60 on the weekend because it takes longer and seems more involved.

lightly tamped moka

V60 is a lot of faff first thing in the morning. Aeropress is easily repeatable for my non caffeinated morning brain!

Workdays I use v60 for enough for 2 x brews, 1 straight to mug 1 into flask for Ron.

Non workday 1 brew is Aeropress.

Cold-brew brewed overnight pretty hard to beat for speed in the morning.

I need to replace the Solonoid valve in my Gaggia Baby.

Is that the correct part?

Thanks

Not 100% on that, but are you sure it needs replacing completely? Have you tried tapping on it/taking it apart and soaking it?

Yeah, had it all apart and tried rescaling etc.

It worked for about a week then stopped again.

Seems the bigger solenoid will hopefully block less often

@thanksbye Sorry to see the solenoid valve has packed in already.

They all do at some point unfortunately.
The part looks right although the price seems a tad steep at £39.99+P&P.

Some refurbished ones on eBay at £23:

The listing indicates that the boiler also need to be cleaned to avoid blockages.
Effectively, those machine do not like standing still with water in them...

£23 sounds better!

These things happen.

Thanks

Contact the guy and tell him you could send your "old" one back, there might be a discount!
