Coffee Appreciation

Thought so - that's around £70, no?

Cheers BDW

Problem solved with the Cubika. Turns out that one of the plastic pipes was becoming blocked because the water had started to build up a furry-type lining on the inside of the pipe. Cleaned out and all is well again.

£64 from the site that Wayne got the image from, Jim.

Nice one guys - I've signed her up to a membership with Square Mile Roasters and picked up one of those Grinders to go with it.

That'll do nicely.

Thanks BDW and Brave.

got 'her' a grinder, eh?
excellent tactics.

Damn, all of the usual suspects are on this thread. Maybe I should hang out here more often :-)

Square Mile Coffee do tasting evenings, not sure when though. Go to their website and sign up for the newsletter. I'm planning on going to the next one if I can!

Is it such a great idea doing coffee tasting in the evening? I'd be lining up an all nighter for afterwards me thinks.

All the same sounds like fun.

Hippy and I went to one

I was shaking like a shitting dog for the rest of the evening…

Fixed

curry's are doing gaggia cubika for £100 if anyone's looking

Jim - don't get the Krups one - its a blade system which will fook up the beans

you want a burr grinder, this is probably the best for your budget

Bining the Krups tonight. Cheers BDW!

FOR SALE

i picked up one of these at the market the other day as i thought it would be appreciated here.

the one i have needs a good clean and polish but everything is there , the seal is good and the handle has not melted.

a five pound donation to the forum and its yours. collect from south east or south beers or i can put it in my saddle bag on one of the forthcoming rides. cheers all.

Is this feller still up for grabs? I was going to buy myself a one (new) but I'd happily pay a lot less and be giving it to the forum! Also, it sounds like you've worn this one in nicely and given it plenty of flavor!

I just got this beast on ebay for £68
Theres another one on there with a BIN of £345 !!

does that mean you have your old grinder for sale?

yeah its still up for grabs. its not the one pictured. its the same as the one pictured. the one i have needs a clean and polish to make it look like this but its all there and nothing is broken.
yeah do it. save some money and give the forum some money. win, win situation.

Nope, this is my first burr grinder

Nice one. Where and when is best for you? I live near Holloway Road and work near the Tate Modern so I get about a bit ;-)! I'm also happy to have a pedal around a new part of town. Whatever suits you best.

a bit more technical than the "hand-grinder attached to battery drill" contraption that i'm currently using.

This looks a fantastic idea, shame I don't live East. I'll have to use my bike or something

went to flat white for the first time on saturday afternoon - a bit disappointed with the attitude of the absolute COCK of a girl who works there and served us on the till (american, brown hair) but the bearded chap who was actually making the coffee clearly was a cut above and served me probably the best coffee I've had all year.

well done him :)

Coffee in Melbourne ftw!

It adjoins a bike shop so you can pick up some parts while you're there.
