Coffee Appreciation

^ yes.

Thanks.

So this is for sale. Has a single shot, double shot and pod basket. Comes with a milk frother jug, nice tamper that fits nice and 2 double walled shot glasses. You can come and try it in Raynes park. PM me if interested.

£60

I can take it off your hand, you're only seven minutes away from me.

Done.

Sure this has been done before, but can't easily find it -
What would people recommend for making decent filter coffee at home? Espresso is too much for my tastes, but have been enjoying black filters from the nicer cafes in Bristol so would like something similar at home... Can't tell whether Aeropress is a better bet than something like a clever dripper.

You could always get one of these for cheap to see if you like. It may do the job for you.

I got an aeropress because I wanted 'espresso like' coffee with less hassle/more consistency altho you can do more.

Both are pretty cheap - do a little experimenting.

hasbean or happy donkey. 58mm I think.

http://www.madebyknock.com/ are lovely and not very pricey (you'll want 58mm as rhb said)
This. Mine's a lovely walnut handle on steel.

get the Chris King one....http://girocycles.com/products/chris-king-espresso-tamper, best price in the UK ;) conveniently 58mm as well, fancy that.

Nah, that looks shit.

I've got the rapha x chris king tamper, it looks nice, was pricey, but is never used.

Am lost, well that is easy...

Don't chintz on the cabbage, just buy a Bialetti and get something that works.
I've tried a few others and they all seem to have consistency issues.

f*cksticks -

Sorry for hugeness. Really need to start using Flickr again.

Don't know your own strength?

The handle is just bolt it...need to borrow one till you get a replacement?

^ The handle is what?

bolt it.

"bolt in" I think was meant. you can take the end cap off and unscrew the handle normally. If you buy a new handle part off the spares site I posted a few pages back you'll find it easily fixed.

Meant to say bolted.

Have a portafilter handle that is a damaged titanium conrod.

^^ Yeah, even Made of Muscle Mouse here figured that out. Good to know I can replace the plastic bit.

Thanks Lynx. Fortunately I've found my spare pf so will be using that for now. Super annoying though. Why do you have a damaged ti handle?!
