Liked a look of that so ordered it with a couple of others to try from their website, with £3.50 delivery. Today I just passed a new shop they've opened up round the corner in Inverness. Fuming! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently on Symposium Signature Blend on a recommendation from a pal who used to work there. The other half got me a DeLonghi espresso machine and I'm still getting to grips with it, but I use a mokka pot if I can't be bothered with the hassle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I've joined #PourOverYachtClub. Also delighted that my moka pot brewing is broadly in line with James Hoffman's approach. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I know theres been threads over the years about types of coffee, but I couldnt find the last one. Always like to see what other people are having, if theres new stuff on market etc - here is my gear; Cant beat the original I do like the Aldi ground Italian - And I have it as a Cortado with a wee bit of hot milk and demerara sugar - a nice caffeine hit and not too big. Aldi also do a basic house blend coffee. Really cheap but I find it nice compared to some other premium brands 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried a couple from there but wasn't too impressed, will give the Highland Roast a go. These boutique roasters are a bit pricey though, guess that's why they're popping up everywhere. £24 a kilo seems a lot when you can easily get very decent beans for half that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got a wee coffee bar in the shop as well and they do a mean flat white. Often pop in to the Grumpy Chef next door for a toastie and a coffee from Inv Coffee before going to work in the afternoon, sets you up nicely for the day ahead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 On 21/01/2022 at 09:17, pozbaird said: On Amazon, Consuelo Gran Aroma ground coffee. They do Nespresso pods and all sorts. In my humble opinion, a pot of Consuelo first thing in the morning is just the job. It’s the only thing on Amazon I have set up on repeat order, I like it so much. Great price too. Just got some of the beans, not bad at all for the price, £7.37 per kilo. Most of the coffee recommended on here is more than 3 times that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I enjoy it in moderation it's not a huge expense for something really good and enjoyable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but it's handy having some session stuff to offer to visitors who won't necessarily appreciate your Blue Mountain special reserve. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ylf Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 These arrived today. Saw them recommended earlier in the thread, and I do like the Ethiopian Illy beans, so high hopes for these.I had this couple of weeks ago and loved it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
