Coffee Appreciation

I'm just putting my shoes on to go to Primrose Hill to get some. Yum.

after a week back home with filter coffee i've just bought a hario v60, roll on saturday morning with big cup and a crossword

can def recommend it. so much quicker to use than a stove top, so my coffee intake has increased... nice full bodied cup with no acidy(?) aftertaste at all

I want to try this. Where can I get this?

The fact that it comes in a carton makes it all the more appealing.

there's a deli in St Pancras Stn that is getting it along with Harvey Nicks and Whole Food Markets has also taken them on.

I've got loads of nice ground coffee that I'm never going to use- it's just sitting in my fridge, who wants it?

yer.

Rob- you want?

yes please, I can collect when I visit your site?

Bon, give me a shout when inbound.

Question here chaps if anyone can help, I'm looking for a 2 group commercial machine, semi auto or lever press, good extraction, blah blah.. Any ideas of decent 2nd hand retailers or sources to pick one up... Thanks

World Coffee Services (where I bought the Bez from) website appears to have disappeared.

So beans to cup machines?

Any opinions?

This is for my *work *not for my home.

^ kinda wish our lavazza machine at work didn't come with such good customer service, then I could argue for a better machine as it needs replacing for de-scaling every 2 months at least

Popping into monmouth on way to work tomorrow. any recommendations what I should try next in my aeropress?

So far I've had the espresso blend (awesome) and the santa clara (nice but not fantastic)

Been off all week, but Ethiopia Yirgacheffe should be in, It's delicious. Sumatra Batak Toba is at the other end of the spectrum - intense pungent berry fruit, heavy and earthy, a real standout coffee.

How much does 250g of Monmouth beans cost if bought in store e.g. espresso blend or Peruvian El Guabo? Can't find the prices on their site.

Most of their beans are ~£20-23/kg

think house 250g is £4-£4.50? cheaper if you buy 500g/kilo

Thanks, both.

Monmouth Batak Toba, Indonesian/Sumatran..

Different.. Bloody nice different.

Went for the Yirgacheffe and I am very impressed, nice broad fruity kind of flavour to it. very similiar to the ethiopian coffee they use at prufrock in their siphons (although theirs would be square mile beans).

goes well with my homemade banana & honey bread too.

if anyone's in the area try the euston tap craft ale house - coffee mornings between 7.30 and 11.45 - often very good single origin monmouth's available

Which reminds me.. Something I thought of whilst spotting in the spotted thread.. Seems a few of us drop by Monmouth Borough for a coffee before work.. With this in mind

LFGSS Friday coffee mornings

Monmouth Borough. 7.30 onwards

Do a coffee. Do a pastry. Do a skid..

Anyone?

No lists. Just swing by confident that anyone on a bike will be off here.

I'll bump later in the week
