Coffee

oo - get you.
Do you swallow or just spit?

Are you on the right thread????
or even the right forum???

I used to make coffee a lot - using ground coffee and all that
I have several methods of doing it

It still smells wonderful - but I'm not that fond of the taste any more

I have also had a lot of bad coffee on the high street
I had one at a posh restaurant in Llandudno a few weeks ago that was great - reminded me that it can be done but a lot don't bother

Compared to the grey, bitter liquid that all office coffee machines had thirty years ago after simmering for hours, today's coffee is a vast improvement, but you really have to make it yourself.

Either you're buying shoot coffee or your taste buds and sense of smell are shot. Or both.

No I can smell like a Spaniel.

Shoot coffee it is then.

I was in Llandudno a few weeks ago as well.

we use a mokka pot, smells awesome.

Mokka pot , still the best way to have a brew at home . Why waste money on a bean to cup machine.

Did one of those damn gulls knick your ice cream or pie

I used to live there and they got mine - and tried several times more

I did nearly heave a half brick at the one who tried to half inch my pie - then realised there were several children in the 'friendly fire' zone
and it isn't a good look for a teacher at a localish school to be seen lobbing bricks at kids - political correctness gone mad and all that

still bar stewards the lot of them!!!!

Yesterday I took delivery of my first proper coffee machine. Told myself it will be a maximum once a day treat… had 3 today thus far

edit: the milk frother is pukka!

Love the smell and taste of fresh coffee but if I drink it i will wee for England as I find it a diuretic ...so prefer yummy tea instead

I'd argue a pour over like a V60 will give you a better brew, but they are a bit more effort.

I use a mix of methods, Mokka pot/Aeropress/Chemex at home mostly an Aeropress at work.

I have been around North America quite a bit it's better tasting coffee there than here in the UK but it's nowhere near as it was years ago.

I’ll bow to your greater experience. I also use a cafetière. I wont risk buying more coffee brewing equipment ,Mrs JK will not be happy.

Well my experience mirrors the others who have posted here. It is mucheasier to get good coffee now than it was years ago. You certainly still get some lousy stuff, but there is far more decent stuff around.

Even the better instantcoffes around now (such as Menco Millicano) are better than what many old style cafes would serve up

I remember when I was a boy my Mom made a cup of coffee the taste and smell was fantastic never get that now, I think it was Maxwell House .
