If you're grinding it it probably isn't much fun for either party.

I wish I'd figured out years ago that I would really enjoy drinking coffee. Just got into it recently and bought myself an Aeropress last week. My months past its best before date ground coffee tastes really good. I'm going to do some research and go to one of them trendy coffee shops to pick up some fresh stuff soon.

You still in London?

You still in London?

Yeah!

 

[Unicron]

Yeah!

Ah okay, because if you were back I could have recommended a place.

I think I may have to cut down

I have two cups before I leave the house. Well, mugs really.

Then a few when I get in here.

I have great energy and all. But it's all over the shop.

Do you not reach peak coffee? Any more than 2-3 cups in the morning and I just wazz out and get the shakes.

I dunno. I keep going til I stop.

I might start keeping some kind of log. If only to see how the handwriting deteriorates.

 

[Jill Hives]

You've changed.

no worries. I just need a few more weeks of knowledge building and then I'll be able to bullshit my way through picking some beans to be ground in an intimidating shop in the same manner I can bullshit my way through ordering some pale ales in craft beer spots.

You could recommend it to the rest of us.

I had assumed that buying beans would be cheaper than buying ground coffee since you have to grind it yourself but that seems not to be the case. I got a grinder at Christmas and bought a bag of beans for just under €10 and it ran out a few days later. I haven't seen any for sale in Carrickmacross.

Lidl selling Bialetti stove top makers next week, s'all you need for great coffee

Bialetti® Espresso Maker - Thursday, 29.01. - Lidl Ireland

 

[dudley]

and coffee

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

I have a bialetti, I like it. It said on the box that it could make 10 cups but it can in its hole. I use quite small cups at home and I half fill the cup from the pot then top it up with a drop of water. I can do this twice with a full pot. You'd be lucky to get a thimbleful out of this 3-cup pot, I'd say.

 

[Lili Marlene]

Doesn't bialetti make espresso though? Like, you could get 10 cups of coffee from it because you water it down loads but 2 only cups of espresso. Which is all you'd need really...

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

I don't water it down loads, just a little, I'm not drinking 20 cups worth of espresso a day (I hope)
