Coffee Appreciation

hi all, a friend and I are looking for somewhere in London that makes good turkish coffee.

Any recommendations?

http://www.madebyknock.com/ are lovely and not very pricey (you'll want 58mm as rhb said)

Excellent, just ordered a 58mm simple tamp.

Thanks guys.

I've now bought x3 tampers and x2 knock tops (some were gifts) and have a Hausgrind on pre-order. A company worth supporting.
My knock top cracked last week. Split right through :(

Clearly you don't know your strength after all the weight lifting you've been doing!

did you hit it with one of their heft tampers?

Ha, as if!

No, it must be the Yoga for Cyclists.

Oh. Now they tell me.

the knock top is a plastic thing, the tampers are solid as.

This was an interesting watch

Yes, I saw that too. Amazing how much coffee comes out of Vietnam.

there's nothing worse* than waking up early in desperate need of a coffee to find despite being certain you had turned it on before you went to bed, the coffee machine isn't pre-warmed and you've no time to wait for it to heat up. :(

*except perhaps almost everything else that's not a first world problem such as this.

^ that's where the aeropress earns it's corn

Coffee update: I went to Mothers Milk this morning, 12 Little Portland street (the address is important as it's tucked away and hard to find).

This is a cracking little* coffee shop, and the two coffee's I have so far had have both been excellent.

Can't recommend it enough- if you want a decent coffee in the W1 area then this is the place to go for it.

Their twitter is also hilarious...

Anyone used an Espro calibrated tamper? Should I get one? One less variable and all that.....

58mm for the Classic I presume.

Ps - I also like the lavazza creme e gusto. Very forgiving beans. Though I am sprinting through a bag of Rave Italian Job... really dark roast.

It's lovely.

Has this been seen yet?

Not on here, but I was fb'ed it the other day. Poncy Ozone instead of LMNH, and no prufrock?

But great idea, very handy.

Talking of Colonna and Smalls - Maxwell has a video on the observer website rating some coffee making devices:

Aeropress FTW. I haven't used my espresso maker since I got one about 3-4 months ago.

Anyone want to buy one of these;

That works but is a bit tatty for £60?

dibs on the orange truck. How much for the split?

So it is.
