This so annoys me. Even many so-called flat whites are almost all milk - if a place does a cortado, you can guarantee this. It makes having a coffee in a new place bizarrely stressful.

I think the British public would shit themselves if they were handed a milk-based drink in the proper ratio from a coffee chain.
It would probably be out of business in 3 months.
I love it when places give you a flat white in a cup that takes about 400ml

Anyone tried deep frying the beans yet. Seems like an opportunity.

Iām still pretty much in thrall to the Kalita Wave. Recently I discovered this recipe:http://www.georgehowellcoffee.com/brew-guide/kalita-185/ whilst looking for one that used around 25 grms. It seems to brew a more complex cup with the majority of coffees and really accentuates the brightness/acidity without losing any sweetness. It really suits a Columbian, washed of Departmentās that I have got into recently.
Yesterday at work we deliberated over how it could be extrapolated to larger amounts, tried a brew of forty grams with ratios of water/time etcetera the same and it worked! I will try a fifty grm version over the weekend, which is a good serving for three.
The pulse pouring seems to result in less saturation/immersion early in the brew compared to a continuous pour.
The next controllable is water; word is the Waitrose essentials mineral water is very good for filter coffee and could be better than the Brita filtered that I am using presently. I shall report back with my findings.

No idea what it means or what the implications are for taste but Iām loving the thoroughness & obsession.
