Coffee Appreciation

what's the syringe in the background for?

Feeding my heroin addiction.

you mean heroin appreciation.

I can recommend Square Mile Luchadores espresso. It's a single estate Pacamara varietal from El Salvador. James gave me a bag the other week and it's got a really nice toffeeish base which turns kind of savoury on the finish. Nice and clean tasting and not too sharp.

I'm still having problems with my Krups filter machine...

There's just no depth to the flavour - it just tastes bitter and acrid. The first few times I used the machine, the brewing aroma was fantastic - now I'm barely getting anything.

I've cleaned it and regularly rinse it through with water, but there's still this foul flavour. It's actually putting me off coffee.

There are two speed settings - one for when you're only having a couple of cups, and the other for five or more. I've used a variety of grounds and filled the filter a whole range of different amounts.

I'm stuck! I just don't get it!

Buy one of "hippy's famous motherfucking reconditioned espresso machines and shit"(tm). :)

annoyingly i passed up a Zassenhaus Coffee Grinder for four pounds a couple of weeks back.....sorry.

1. is filter coffee evil even if made in a classic braun?
   
2. where can i get a pressurised stopper for my pavoni europicola? (the big black one that goes on top)
   

1. Why don't the people at Too Much Coffee let me join? Have they witnessed post domination elsewhere perhaps? Scared of the convict posting onslaught? Brrk brrk!
   

1. Filter coffee is evil if made in an auto dripper thingy. You need a manual cup-top pour over cone thingy.

2. Google Pavoni spares. They're plentiful. Happy levering BTW.

3. There's no automated membership, I think you have to send mail and then they reply and then you introduce yourself in the members' area. It's all a bit more polite over there, so none of your urbane dry wit please.

The Gaggia Classic arrived... with a smashed water reservoir! :(
Anyone got a spare?

Did you buy another broken machine to fix?

No.. this one was the working machine! I even emailed the sender telling them to make sure it was packed well to avoid postal damage.. ffs!!!

Now that ^^^ is more my style! :)

A little inspiration:

Is that a sex-toy?

Swiss water process? What the fuck is that?

Yes, Monmouth coffee, 10 mins walk from my flat. I'm a regular.

Probably from all the coffee you're drinking. Boom Tish

I see what you did there.

Thank you thank you.. now can I have a water reservoir for my Gaggia?

So I'm thinking of buying one of those Presso's, looking for some kind of video review on youtube and this is the first video.

Fucking hhsc.

That machine is beautiful.

I know this is heresy, but this morning I'll be walking over to Starfux and getting myself a Caramel Macchiato.

I just can't resist it.

I know I'm a bad person.
