Coffee Appreciation

Did that! Left it to settle so it was ready for me at the end of my meal. I think it's fair to say it just wasn't my cup of tea.

On a different note, descaled my Gaggia over the weekend and it's now pumping out oodles of crema-packed goodness. Unfortunately it's also blonding a bit. I can see now why so many people get obsessed with this sort of thing...

I try to descale on a regular basis too. The best crema is produced (for me) by the freshest ground oily bean style coffee. I do not grind my own but buy fresh ground from Harrods ( number 7 option on their pre-printed list of goodies) and store in freezer.
Might spring for a half decent grinder one day...
