  • Oh cyoa

  • I'm about halfway through a DeCaf Nespresso..
    I hoped this day would never come.

    I'm drinking Kenco instant. My machine is 'up on blocks' and I can't leave the house until Washing Machine Guy arrives.

  • Oh Hippy

  • I feel for you..

    It was such a depressing experience. I just couldn't finish it. It was like hot, sort-of-coffee flavoured milk.

    The machine at work is ballsed up and as no one wants to go and buy a bag of ground for a cafetière, I thought I'd see what it was like..

  • I still like instant coffee.

    On holiday last week in Brittany at Mrs Braves folks place they have a nespresso thing.. I knew this.. So I took my own ground (Gethumbwin dark roast, thank you bomcup) and bought a cheap cafetière from super U.. Life saver

  • I still like instant coffee.

    Tea ftw in this scenario.

  • Also, does anyone want to buy a 53mm tamper which I now have spare?

    I could just return it, but this would save shipping costs for me and one lucky buyer.

  • Tea ftw in this scenario.

    Tea? I'd rather drink my own piss.

    Didn't consider that as a viable option, if I'm honest... my mistake...

    Seriously though a good cuppa can be had from teabags I reckon, at least better than an instant coffee.

    AKA Fosters?

  • I'd have to drink that Englischenfilthlageren first to be able to piss it..

  • can anyone recommend me a decent coffee place in manchester city centre?

  • has anyone tried that instant starbucks stuff yet? i got a sampler in the post. it's better than most instant, but still tastes (and definitely smells) instant.

  • Not yet. I got some too.

  • Do you mean Via?

    I tried it ages ago, not that impressed tbh (I was able to tell the difference between it and regular starbucks brewed coffee). Definitely better than regular instant though.

    I've tried a couple but not been blown away by any yet.

    This google hit has given me a few more to go and try out.

    www.hasbean.co.uk has been looking after me rather well in the meantime.

  • I didnt even get a coffee made for me today so bastard busy...violins please.

    I think I found one of the issues with my coffee process. After reading about HX machines and pre-flushing I reckon I'm not spending enough time with the pre-flush so the group is too hot when coffee is poured. I will start experimenting with pre-flush times.

    In other news the drain is still sputtering out while warming up leaving a nice pool of water under the machine :(

    Hipster flasks make the coffee cooler...

  • I want crema not cooler-- its winter out there, no affogato
    must be time for espresso with sambuca,
    used to get that in the morning before uni, with a wink Tony in the Italian shop would go " want a special?" hehe

    But with that Cafetiere thermos thing, wouldn't the coffee or tea just keep brewing stronger and stronger until you drink it? It says pushing the plunger down stops the brewing, but I don't see how.
