Porlex hand grinder (7 clicks from tightest from memory)

Ilsa Espresso for 8 minutes on lowest & smallest gas setting

 

[Steve Bowles]

1 tsp Nescafe
2 tsp Coffee Mate
Hot water from kettle to cup brim, stir.

 

[Burgundy]

Bialetti moka pot (3 cup). Made long with hot water and a drop of milk.

Moka pot....easy and relaxing

Think i'm going to have to get myself a Moka pot

I have a Delonghi espresso machine but mainly use a Moka pot bought when out in Italy. It is the traditional way to make coffee in Italy and bought one out there. You don't get a crema as low pressure is involved but it does fill your kitchen with a gorgeous aroma!

Work: Lido E and Clever Coffee Dripper

Occasionally use aeropress, sowden, French press or moka for fun.

Nice, I've always liked the look and concept of the HG One. Shame it's so much money!

Just like my granma used to make, medium sweet turkish coffee

I'm looking for an affordable way to brew coffee - is the Moka Pot a good starter?

 

[Mrchick]

Almost exclusively French Press.

I like the Clever coffee dripper or Aeropress more than a Moka, personally.

I agree with @wintoid: use a manual dripper (Hario £5) freshly roasted coffee beans (not from a supermarket) and spend most of the money on a burr grinder

I sold the Oscar and Rocky that was mentioned all the way back in July...they went courtesy of a UK coffee forum. Am delivering them both in a few days when going "up country" (as they seem to say down here).

Replaced with an ECM Mechanika IV Profi heat exchanger machine and a Eureka Olympus 75 High Speed grinder. Both take a while to get used to but both are lovely machines to use. Both also entirely unnecessary in the grand scheme of things but both give much pleasure to use and to enjoy what they produce. A sort of a hobby in a way I suppose. Not that much different to other things we do, and pay good money to enjoy maybe...?

Ooh nice. I think I might be on the same forum
