35ml bottle was reduced down from £20.00 to £10.00 in Tesco, thought it was worth a punt and it was......love Patron and this doesn't disappoint tbh
Give some of that Kiriani I linked to a try, you'll love the upgrade from supermarket coffee. You can order Aeropress grind from there, it's perfect for Aeropress paper filters. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Can anybody recommend some good places were to buy Coffee beans online (or any good subscription based ones)?
Ideally, I'm looking for beans where they are roasted and posted quickly data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
I'd like to know this too. I do know Whittard's do.
Give The Blending Room a try, they roast twice weekly so everything is nice and fresh. If you're Into your real coffee already give a naturally prepared variety a try out. The Brazilian pantano they have currently is a good example of the different feel you get from a naturally prepared bean. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
I went from filter to a Senseo to a DeLonghi 15 bar machine, When that broke I got a Dolce Gusto but realised I needed another proper machine so got another DeLonghi, not an expensive one, under £100. I'll probably splash out on something better in the future, maybe a bean to cup machine but I get a great little brew out of mine at the moment.
I'll add that I never used the pods for the Senseo I just got some refillable ones and put my own ground coffee in it, same for the Dolce, I've boughtsome refillable pods but what's the point now I've bought another Delonghi?
Sort of, yes. Depending on the grinder, most come with an air-tight hopper you fill with beans, and the duration of the grind determines the amount of ground coffee you end up with.
Start with, say a 20-second grind (with the fineness set for espresso) and see how much you get. If that's enough to fill the scoop, bingo! If it's too much, next time try, say 18 seconds. If it's too little, next time try 22 seconds. It won't take long (or much wastage) to get it right.
Set the grind to espresso for an aeropress? Surely he wants a courser grind for a filter coffee?
Aeropress needs to be fairly fine, as with a regular filter grind you're limited to using the inverted method.
I was a big fan of the inverted method until quite recently, however these days (on advice from James @ the blending rooms) I use a near-espresso grind with the conventional aeropress method and no steep time whatsoever, much better results this way IMO. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
I've used filter and espresso coffee in my aeropress, and both work fine. I was just thinking that if you are grinding your own, you may as well grind for filter.
Interesting that James recommends the normal method. Why is this?
Steep time as in mix with water time?
