WANK!!! If you want instant coffee just buy a jar 
It’s more cheaperer.
Not at the moment, I’m good thanks.

The Illy machines & pods might be better perhaps? I used to have a Nespresso, but always felt it was weak. The difference in the amount of coffee in a pod might improve it a bit. I just want a quick easy brew sometimes with no faff. Once you have been to Ilford, nothing compares. I have accepted that.

Fresh beans…not supermarket vacuum packed shite, I hope?
I am a huge fan of supermarket crap 
The amount of coffee we get through Jim (about 1 kg per week), I would have to start working overtime to afford foo beans 
You’re a lazy fucker 
You can get freshly roasted beans delivered to your door for roughly the same price as stale supermarket vacuum packet beans.
You need to start making that mouse work for you mate

Been using my Sowden today.
Bloody lovely coffee. Fresh ground and steeped.

This weekend I have been mostly mucking about with the Kalita Wave. I borrowed the kit off a mate at work and early impressions are that it makes a very good cup indeed and is better than aeropress but with more faff and more to go wrong. I need to fiddle with the grind and recipe, so I will be getting one and the kettle. 
Going through a lot of bean at pres, currently liking the Department of Coffee and Social Affairs range.

That kettle looks awesome!
It’s all part of the ritual!
Of course, a normal kettle would suffice.
But!

You really need it. Without the swan neck you can’t get close enough to the grinds or pour gently enough. You need to pour in a spiral and the amount of water has to be exact, hence the scales.
TBH I’m still just sloshing water into a caffetiere and then stirring with a spoon to make the plunger go down more easily! (And using vacuum packed pre-ground coffee from the supermarket)

Christ, all that faff just for a cup ? Can’t you just go round Jim’s for an hour or two and let him take the strain?

Good job you’re in France, not Italy - you’d be lynched 
Espresso is a different thing entirely and I really like the faff/learning. I love espresso too but my machine at home is even more difficult to get a good cup out of than pour over or Aero!
