Coffee Appreciation

You could email Square Mile and check what shops have it in, to be sure before making the trip.

Check Kaffeine on Gt Titchfield St

Does anyone know where I can buys some Square Mile sweetshop in London? I know Square Mile don't sell direct apart from online...

Pitch 42 on Whitecross St market had some about 2 hours ago (they'll be shut now, but back on monday).

I think the giddyup stall in the park around the corner from Whitecross St had some too.

realised yesterday my 'horse' won in the hasbean sweepstakes, should be getting a voucher for a free bag of coffee tomorrow :-D

Might be worth trying one of the new Kenyans or the new Yirgacheffe which he has in.

I'm going to buy those next.

thinking of upgrading to one of these...

Looks like me faithful old Bezzera is on it's last legs :^[

anyone got anything interesting, high end, tank fed that they're looking to get rid of?

Izzo, rocket, expobar kind of thing…

Thanks to all above who made grinder suggestions... may go with TTM's choice from Happy Donkey. Looks suitable for a relative novice and my fairly low frequency requirements...

I have this just now. I'm giving it a good stew in the Aeropress, and this brings out the honey flavour. Might sound a bit odd, but it really does. I probably brewed the plunger about 3/4 full and added milk. Is nice!

I'm interested about the Rwandan. I've never had one.

I'm going to order the other two Africans maybe tonight, and will report back later.

My second bag of the Finca de Licho arrived today. Found it to be great in both aeropress and gaggia. Others sound worth a try but I'd be wired.

^ I think that one is actually listed as having a honey flavour. What I didn't really get with the La Perla though, was much of a fruit flavour, not that it mattered.

Wayno - worth repairing? Or are the parts going to be too dear?

HB Yirgacheffe, Kenyan, Filter Blend and Brasilian Espresso Perfetio on order. Weeeeeeeeeee!

Oof. Lovely.

Wondering if it's just diminishing returns gaffer.

It's a new pump and various bits that'll be about 200 notes I reckon

Which Bezzera have you got Wayne?

BZ99

It's been a great machine to be fair

Feck. Seen them for sale in the US for $2k USD. Have you spoken to London Espresso? They do parts and also do the refurb work and may be worth a call at least.

I used them for my Brugnetti spares.

That was pretty much my thinking, it's got to be worth throwing a little at it to see if you can get it working properly again.
If you're set on a new machine I'll take it off your hands for a knock down price of 0.01 Great British Pounds, seeing as it's knackered.
