Coffee Appreciation

I got a zassenhaus grinder off german eBay this morning for $0.99 (£17.50 with deliver). It's this one here:

Anyone know if this model is any good? The talk on the coffee forums is that the new ones aren't manufactured that well but this definitely looks quite old. I guess I'll have to see what it's like when it arrives. Looking forward to it (I've been off home espresso since I grew tired of pre-ground beans last year).

Looks a treat that, good outside condition is always a good start. Check for rust on burrs and play in the mechanism when it arrives; wobble = no espresso but it can probably be sorted.

Another grinder on TMC

Having a massive clearout of stuff since we moved back home...soooo...

1x Macap m4 doser grinder... not too much use .. needs a bit of a clean (will provide some Grindz to put through it at least)... but in general good condition and this is a bargain for someone...

Looking for a mere £30 for it but on the condition that its collect only...
Grinder is located on east side of Nottingham.

Cheers

£30 is a bargain, likely to need new burrs, probs another £30.

wow. That's cheap. Shame it's in Nottingham.

Is that the one that ended at about 3am? I bloody stayed up for that and fell asleep about half an hour before it ended, missed the two slimmer ones too that went for less than £20 too. Not fun.

also curious if that model's any good. been keeping an eye on ebay.de and want a knee one, the narrower model, but they seem to go for plenty more so if these ones are just as good I'll prob grab one of them

Also keep your eyes peeled for Peter Deines (PeDe), Trosser and Peugeot Freres hand grinders. If it's properly old and built in western Europe then chances are it's the real deal. No real difference between square and knee shaped Zasses AFAIK, you still hold the square ones between your knees without a problem.

Yes. Mine was the one that ended at 3:00am. The other one that ended at 3:30am was a PeDe and I was outbid by £1 on it.

Thanks. I'll save that for future reference too.

bombcup: I made this morning's bombon with the milk in the bottom already and poured the shot into it. Works better this way, rather than pouring milk through the shot. I made a wicked one and then spilled it trying to take a photo. doh :P

I made one of those bombon's this morning.

I....IS.....BUZZING.

A little.

What a lovely drink!!

Me too, before I left this morning.
It looked lovely and with a bit less condensed milk tasted better too.
Also ground a batch of Monmouth espresso blend for office use (caffetiere this time)

looks like here:
Viet Baguette 14 Charlotte Place, London W1T 1SW 0207 998 3521
is where I'll be going for lunch then....

Must have review....

I've found a use for the bodum glass espresso cups i got for xmas and have been making bombon's all weekend since discovering about them here. Thanks! they are great but get sickly fast.

has anyone tried that coffee from Bali rick stein had on his show once that a cat poo's out?

I'm loving that the bombom is taking off here! I'd love to get a few of the indy coffee shops selling it..

kopi luwak, you can get it lots of places in London but at a horrible premium.

It's about 25-30 quid for a 50g bag either ground or in beans.

It's interesting and as an odd 'treat' I felt I wanted to try it - but I wouldn't make it my daily choice, cost or not.

This is great, the bombon revolution starts here. Guilty pleasure coffee FTW.

The prices for Kopi Luwak are really quite silly, it's not actually very good quality, not close to the stuff sourced by quality orientated roasters here.

I'm going to Flat white now and will ask for a Bombom...

There appears to be a new (to my eyes) coffee shop/coffee bar/cafe thing on Old St. west of Old St RAB maybe. Anyone?

the bridge, on kingsland road you mean?

the one that's half red half gold?
