For Coffee?

[gbb]

No tard is French.

Ole!

FFS i took me ages to work that out !!!!

My Christmas present was a La Pavoni coffee machine.

I would kill to have something like this 1950s Gaggia in my kitchen.

 

[Headgardener]

Usualy a mug of Nescafe Alta Rica Intense at work (don't have time to make proper coffee in teabreak) and a mug of Fairtrade filter coffee at Church on a Sunday morning.

 

[Crackle]

One or two large cups in the morning out of a decent bean to cup machine and the occasional espresso. I looked at all the grinder/conossieur coffee machines but my head hurt trying to work it out.

What does flat mean with regard to the milk?

Does the cup you use make a difference to you?
I've got a coffee cup that only gets used for coffee and it does seem to make it taste better, maybe it's all in my head but the best brews are from that cup.

What does flat mean with regard to the milk?

It uses differently foamed milk, not heated as much as latté or the milk used in capupccino, they should use the milk from the bottom of the jug which doesn't have much froth.

I'm a bit of a coffee snob. I have a Gaggia espresso machine, and a burr griner. My current favourite is flat white.

^ Ha ha - exactly what I have - my little man has musical notes annotated to the logo as it plays a tune at expresso time!

Can you taste the coffee with milk in it?

Thanks Norm, I think.

Has anyone tried Kopi Luwak?

"coffee, unless it's instant, in which case tea"

we just don't do instant at home. it is really no more bother to put the percolator on than it would be to boil the kettle and make instant. we have a krups espresso machine that is too much mither for everyday use, unlike my in-laws nespresso which is divine…

I've heard good things about these - Aeropress.

 

[BrumJim]

Have one. Use it every day for my morning coffee.

Get the ground coffee from James Gourmet Coffee.

In the afternoon I have instant fair trade. Just so I can be reminded daily as to how good the Aeropress is.
