    Coffee

    Its definitely very subjective but I prefer the subtle flavours and brighter coffees and I find the v60/aeropress are better for bringing those out. I've got nothing against a French press (certainly dont care about a bit of grinds) and I quite often use one at work when I forget the...

    Coffee

    I've definitely noticed the same as you with the grind - I was grinding the same for the v60 as I was the aeropress and the v60 never tasted as good. I think the water was passing through too quickly to extract as since grinding more coarsely I've been able to get a much more full bodied cup...

    Knowing Amazon they'll refund you a tenner if you complain!

    Boxing

    Yep, thats exactly why I've lost a lot of interest in it - until they make a proper ladder system where fighters have to fight decent opposition to get anywhere and a few losses in a row arent seen as the end of a career we just won't see the fights that should happen. The current setup only...

    Ta, I was just reading their other guide - your link looks a lot less full of waffle! Im gutted i didn't take advantage of the huge discount they offered me on the full box. I figured it wouldn't be worth it over the chromecast but the TV stick has changed my mind on that, it's a much, much...

    Coffee

    Yeah when they first started I think the intentions were good but once it took off and money started flowing it seems to have become a fairly cruel business of force feeding caged civets coffee Cherry's for no real reason. I mean if they're not naturally picking the 'best ripest Cherry's' then...

    Coffee

    The same could be said for a lot of things we eat though! I really recommend them, particularly if you like strong coffee. You can dilute it if you prefer an Americano style but if you have good coffee and make sure the water isn't too hot (they recommend 85 degrees, if you dont want to faff...

    Cheers for the heads up - I got a fire TV stick for £19 as a prime member and was just using it to watch Amazon/ Netflix while I'm staying in hotels but it looks like it could be a lot more useful than that...

    Its exactly the same people who pay for a Klitschko ppv and then complain they've been watching a jab fest. You'd think that by now they would have realised that hype doesn't tend to translate to an entertaining fight anymore!

    Coffee

    Is that the company that uses elephants? I've always mentally lumped it in the same group as that civit coffee and thought more of a gimmicky selling point and excuse for a markup than anything that will increase the quality. Happy to be told otherwise though!

    Coffee

    Yeah I thought I'd be fine with a hand grinder but making three mugs of coffee takes me about 5 minutes! I might just grab one of the better reviewed krups electric burr grinders from Amazon then- it won't get used that often anyway as im more than happy with the rhino for single cups, and if I...

    Coffee

    Without caffeine how are you supposed to have the energy to do that; without a grinder how are you going to get coffee! That limited edition 'finca el cairo' arrived from pact Having a cup from the v60 to start with and I'm underwhelmed - its very good, but no better than anything else I've had...

    Coffee

    What grinders do you guys use? I’ve got a Rhino hand grinder which is great - at least for an adjustable burr grinder that only costs £35 – when I’m just doing a single mug but when I want to do three or four mugs worth… it’s a bit of an insane process. I was looking at reviews of electric...

    Coffee

    They're the same price as Pact so not the budget option i was hoping for but i'll give them a try! My takeaway is 'you get what you pay for' i guess ;) Cool I'll keep an eye on the biatteli and see if i can pick one up cheap but i'm happy enough with the v60/aeropress that i don't really need...

    Coffee

    Any link to that machine? I was looking at the classic Biatelli thing a while ago but after reading a few reviews which said it’s effectively just strong coffee rather than a proper espresso, I figured it probably wasn’t worth adding another ‘low end’ solution to my current collection of...

    Coffee

    Let me know what you think of the Toledo - i treated myself to their limited edition 'Finca El Cairo' to see whether that was worth it, should arrive Monday. I can't imagine it will be worth the premium it but i was drunk when i decided to get one and then I couldn't be bothered to change my...

    Coffee

    They both make very different coffees. The Aeropress is much, much quicker, makes a really strong coffee and when you do it right it’s much better, but I tend to find it can ruin things if you get your timing or amounts wrong. The v60 is really forgiving even if you use it half asleep, it...

    Coffee

    I’m loving the ones I got from Pact (‘Columbian Finca La Joyeria’ -lots of bright berry flavours, almost sweet, and the ‘Mexican El Retiero’ - chocolatey bitterness but not too much with a roasted nut sort of flavour). In terms of supermarkets they’ve all been ‘ok’ really, but they tend to have...

    Coffee

    I spent the first three decades of my life convinced i didn't like the stuff, thanks to horrible instant rubbish and starbucks things that tasted like someone had burnt some milk but a mate at work managed to get me hooked on good, freshly ground filter coffee a while back and now i can't seem...
