Coffee Appreciation

for many years i used to use a single-cup stove-top machine, then someone bought us a nespresso machine and in the euphoria of such convenient espresso making with a perfect crema every time, i lost sight of the joy of actually preparing and making a nice cup of coffee. after several price increases i decided 34p a pod was too much for a cup of so-so coffee and a bought another 1-cup stove top machine. So far i've tried tesco espresso - bit over roasted for my taste, and now enjoying lavazza crema e gusto, and i feel like i've come home - lovely

Glad you've fallen in love with making coffee again. Do yourself a favour and get some freshly roasted coffee then you'll really see an improvement. A quick review through this thread should give you some suggestions of where to get it from.
