I'll take this off you if it's going - can collect today?

I don't know if this will work...but here's a link to a Google map list of coffee spots and you can zoom in on Brighton.

I'd recommend both Small Batch's (the one out of town for something quieter) and Coffee33 is worth the walk.

My folks have one - not sure where they got it from but the brand is "jing". think it's billed as a teapot.

still available by any chance?

Sainsbury's Tanzanian Peaberry Coffee < I pick this up every now and then. Worth a shot and sometimes on offer at £2.50-£3.00 a bag I think.

hey - yes sorry they've gone. ta

Are a 40 pack of no.2 filtropa filter papers of use to anyone on here?

Having a cupboard clear out and they were bought in error when I started out with my v60 (I think they're meant for Kalita Waves). Drop me a message with your address and I'll pop them in the post. Ta.

@Matisse @UmeVELO Can I add to that list :)

Interested in Raceblades - will drop you a PM.

pm'd. ta

Came across a Sage Grinder Pro on Coffee Forums UK t'other day. Might be worth a look to see if it's still going.

I spent a day earlier this year at Square Mile with the Coffee Forum UK people, biggest thing I took away from talks with James Hoffman and co was to use bottled water over filtered.

The essential Waitrose stuff was recommended on the basis of it's mineral content etc...

Having a clear out and as I’m only having a few coffees on the weekend now and using the Porlex, I thought I’d see if anybody on here is interested in this Cunnill grinder.

Picked it up from Dsan on the forum a few years back and at most it’s had a few filter coffees a week. If you’re looking for an electric grinder to have a play around with (as I was), this is probably a cheap way to have a go.

Naff pictures linked here, happy to take a few more if there’s interest.

I’m asking £50 collected from St Albans or Welwyn in Hertfordshire - alternatively I can meet at King’s Cross or Farringdon stations.

Thank you

On a similar note...

I have a Cunill grinder (linked below) I bought from dsan on this thread and am considering upgrading to a Mignon.

Does anyone have experience of moving up to something like a Mignon? I've been told on the Coffee Forum that there's a big difference but a little reluctant to shell out £200+ if it's marginal.

Here's a quick summary of what James Hoffman's World Atlas of Coffee has on the moka...

Ratio:200g/litre. Grind: Quite fine/salt, not an espresso or very fine grind. Slightly coarser to minimize bitterness in the cup.

1. Grind coffee, fill basket so even and level, don't compress the coffee.

2. Boil a kettle of water (advantage of starting with hot water is the coffee doesn't get as hot, reducing bitterness).

3. Fill bottom section of brewer to just below the valve, don't cover it.

4. Put coffee basket in place. Ensure rubber seal is clean. Assemble brewer carefully ensuring a seal.

5. Put pot on low - med heat leaving lid up. The faster and harder you boil the water, the more pressure you will create and the faster the brew process will be, you don't want to go too quickly.

6. Coffee should appear in top chamber. Listen for gurgling sound and turn heat off when you do. This sound indicates most of the water has been pushed up. To carry on will bring steam up through the coffee, making it bitter

7. To stop the brew, run the bottom of the pot under cold water.

Hope this helps. I'd recommend the book if anybody is considering it. I find myself coming back to it again and again.

@CYOA if you're happy to send the V60 on @andyfallsoff that would be cool, alternatively I work out Islington way so could pick up if you're central?

Any chance of the v60 on it's own? Been thinking of picking one up for a while.

P'raps a stupid question but whereabouts, Farringdon / Islington way? Might be able to recommend a few.

Interested in knowing more if JKempz not. Will drop you a PM.
