Coffee thread, aka a thread for spoofers

As my ma always says, the devil makes work for idle hands

That’s out of date.

roasters in mullingar, who knew!

mmm, if I see froth i’m thrilled, what’s this crema thou speaketh of?

The stuff you get in proper coffee in Italy.

Any lad making coffee with Irish water is fooling himself.

I find the limescale adds a certain je ne sais quoi to the taste.

It’s limescale.

I called in yesterday while in the city on essential business. Picked up a bag of Dingle Ethiopia and a MAM one from Guatemala.

Having the MAM one this morning and it is very good to be fair. Prices were more reasonable than the bags in Habit too.

Depends where you are doesn’t it? My machine gets cleaned every couple of years just for the sake of it. Other places need a full treatment every few months

Ordered one of these off the recommendation of a friend of mine. He says it’s a game changer. We’ll see how it goes when it gets here.

Will Aeropress change my taste buds in ways I never imagined?
I’ve been Tassimo strong for the last few years but its getting a bit samey. Is there much prep and cleaning to this Aeropress? Mrs Spidey is not a coffee drinker so a full jug of coffee would be wasted on me.

Tell her she just has to rinse it under the tap

This is what I’m being told. We have plungers here and they work fine. But although they are high quality they are getting old. So you’d have bits of coffee grit getting through.
Will report back once it comes and we test it.

It’s a great yoke. I used have a small cafetiere to make coffee in work and what comes out of the aeropress using the same coffee is absolutely miles better. Very handy too, once you’re used to it. Bang the pressed coffee into the bin and rinse it under the tap and done, no cleaning or messing.

You’d need to carry round a kettle and power supply as well.

We’re not spoiled in the civil service, but we normally have access to a kettle in the office.
