The Other Foot Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 15 hours ago, Sugar_Army said: Braithwaite in Dundee My go to place. Fortunately it is right next to my office and in centre of town. Been there forever and they are very knowledgeable. To top it off the smell inside is worth the visit alone. This place looks phenomenal. Anyone remember Casey's sweet shop on St Mary's street in Edinburgh? This look like that, except for coffee. Could even tempt an earnest cafephile into a Dundee trip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig fae the Vale Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Got some of these to take to work to use instead of instant. I'll probably take pelters off my colleagues for being a snob, but should be worth it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A proper coffee made in the aeropress is only slightly more hassle than a cup of tea ffs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonus points if the room has a Nespresso. That Nescafe Azera is ok too tbf, if i'm going away and want something nicer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Update: The coffee bags are pretty good, not the best coffee I've ever had but definitely a huge upgrade on instant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should try the coffee shat out by gerbils, it probably tastes the same as that tea 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd_is_God Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 These arrived today. Saw them recommended earlier in the thread, and I do like the Ethiopian Illy beans, so high hopes for these. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grain and Grind beans are my go to for everyday espresso. Usually the Strathbungo roast. Guessing from this that you work in the Southside? If so It All Started Here does excellent coffee and usually has a good selection of beans in, right now they’ve got a lot of stuff from The Barn in Berlin (IMO the best coffee shop in the world). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
