Claire approves of it due to the neat form factor and especially the lack of mess. She also likes that it came with the milk frother so she can have something like a cappuccino. It is therefore allowed to live in the motorhome.
Al supplied some pods too, which make a pretty decent coffee, way better than any instant I’ve ever had.
Haha, yours is a bit spendy for me. Did you get it for espresso? The one I posted is £12.00 I think. Ok, it’s a 200grm bag but it still drinks above it’s price point.
The one I posted above is ‘washed anaerobic.’ Dunno really, what that means, but it has a bit of that natural power, yet no funkyness. Very delicious cup, it really does taste like honey. Everything from them has been really good so far.
I ordered a pour over in a wanky local shop and changed it from sitting in to takeaway half way through brewing because of the onslaught of bullshit about his brew method. No way he was going to let me drink it in peace. Wasn’t anything special in that case either
Finally made it to Prufrock Coffee yesterday and had a pour over with Ethiopian beans (which is what I’ve had most recently).
In short: 1\ it was really good - very clean and perhaps for the first time ever I could clearly taste all the notes, which was cool. I found it better than the twice I’ve had from Origin’s stall - though at £8 (it was the most expensive one they did) frankly it should be good. 2\ it was sort of annoying seeing how far off in some ways my brewing is, although in other ways, on the rare occasions when I’ve got it completely right, I have come acceptably close.
On another topic, I think I’ve buggered my grinder trying to open it up and clean out the burrs. It doesn’t screw back together properly. Apparently this is a common problem with Wilfa Uniforms, and they sort it out under warranty. Assuming they’ll only send a replacement unit (if they do), I may try and sell it and get a Lagom Mini instead (that seems to be the best rated for pour overs - either that or an Ode Gen 2 with SSP burrs).
True but it states it has larger burrs based on the Mini, running at a low rpm and that the design focus was clarity and balance for light roasts. All of which sounds appealing to me but I’m not looking anymore in case I buy one
