Pah, all that faff for a coffeeā€¦

This place is less than a minute away, and they let me park next to the bar!

Iā€™ve done coffee foo and had the lot.

None of it beats fresh beans, ground, and vac pot for me.

Itā€™s not even a faff. Although it does need scales and a thermo pen!

Hasbean have an app with brew guides, and fheir vac pot one works!
I have a Hario one, but always use a glass rod not a spring filterā€¦ they are not as easy to come by, though.

Iā€™m far from that.

Try one, and if you donā€™t agree, ok!

Scales and a thermopen?..whatever-the-fuck-one-of-them-isā€¦ for a cup of coffee?

Youā€™re having a tin bath.

Can you get a crema off with one of those?

They make the cleanest cup of coffee I have had. Like a cafetiĆØre without the bits.

Crema is foo speak.

I drink black coffee in big mugs (I do like espresso as well) and this method always gets best flavour and sharpness.

As for scales, I use them for volumes, and they replace measuring cups for cocktails too. Thermopens are useful for water temp as I do the vac pot on a gas hob, but you can do it by eye after practice.

Not interested then.

Just get a new cafetiere, one that works.

236

Half asleep at 5am, yes, so I get up, switch on the machine, shower & shave, then downstairs again for a very fine cup. Or two. Even the grimmest day in prospect is rendered slightly less ominous after a really good coffee. For me itā€™s worth the undoubted faffing.

237

Oh FFS, thermo pen. Good god man, can you not read the things you type?

238

Lifeā€™s too short. My bean to cup makes excellent coffee with very little faff, I have owned various machines including a Gaggia espresso machine which was far more fannying about for little or no gain IMHO the b to c will be staying.

Decent grindr (oops, grinder), and a Sage coffee machine is all you need.

All too much faff, this is all you need:

Tried cold brew coffee. No epiphany, just tasted like badly made weak coffee served cold. Their filter coffee was actually particulalrly nice, albeit probably not enough to merit the price. A big meh from me :-1:
