Espresso maker

wtf is that shit? We need a mod to take that photo down. That's not coffee. That's caffeinated dirt.

[Duncan Clench]

I'm on my phone so can't post pics or links, but for £20 you can get an Aeropress or a Moka pot and you will have some awesome coffee.

 

The Aeropress is a bit more of a faff but both make great espresso.

[zigackly]

I would say the aeropress is absolutely ideal, because it allows a very simple degree of manual control over the extraction time and it's a piece of piss to clean. Expresso machines involve a huge degree more faffing and will often produce a very bitter shot because it's rare that most people will take the trouble to clean them thoroughly after each time they are used.

I've got a Nespresso machine, I believe it's the best capsule based system. IMO it makes very good espresso.

I've had a mare there.

Got Mrs Sex a Nespresso Pixie for Xmas. Not as good as a restaurant Espresso but still really quite good.

 

I just need to find a way of making Lebanese coffee. Syrupy caffeinated love juice.

You should make it in a rakweh, which is a very small, long-handled saucepan. You need very finely ground Turkish coffee, sugar to taste and a little cardamom. Use a little more water than you want to make coffee, and at least two teaspoons of coffee per shot. Bring the water to the boil and quickly add the coffee, sugar and cardamom, then take it off the heat and let it settle for a couple of minutes. If you don't want foam on the top of the coffee, bring it to the boil three times before taking it off the heat. Careful it doesn't boil over. Takes a while to perfect the art, but very worthwhile.

[Alan Sex]

Sweet! I'll make that a project.

[Paulie Dangerously]

Got one of these

 

 

Fantastic little piece of equipment (Her ma uses one) beautiful looking thing as well, and got some imported french coffee. Fucking lovely. 6 cupper, been using some for my morning shot, putting rest in fridge and making an Americano the following morning.

[Tom R]

bought an Aeropress a few weeks ago. Possibly the best thing I've bought in years. 

 

Piece of piss to clean compared to caffetiere/french press or a machine and makes an ace coffee.

I've upgraded to a nespresso Inissia.

 

My life has improved vastly. 

[Duncan Clench]

I'm all-in on cold brew now. Lovely stuff, and dead easy to make a good batch that'll last a week.

My brother got me a nespresso machine a couple years ago for Xmas and I haven't looked back. I was initially sceptical about the quality of the pods and their expense but they do the job well and easily

Have you tried the pods from Lidl? They're my go-to now. What an invention

What's the difference between that and a normal nespresso?

[PestiRed]

Got a Gaggia. The Italians know their shit when it comes to making a decent coffee.

 

Fuck these machines that use pre-made capsules

[Paulie Dangerously]

What's the difference between that and a normal nespresso?

It's just the name of the machine

[Paulie Dangerously]

Bumped the wrong coffee thread. 

 

If anyone has a Nespresso machine and a Home and Bargain near them they have got a glut of made in italy "Espresso Italia" Nespresso compatible pods £1 for 10. 

 

Bought a pack yesterday to gauge the quality.  Very nice, smooth and great crema, not super intense, ideal morning coffee.   Had both as espresso short and a lungo this morning and they passed the Paulie D taste test so I've just bought 20 boxes which will do me til the new year (even with the french ma in law staying for a fortnight and she batters them)

[Oh Buoy]

Good shout.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Great shout

[Paulie Dangerously]

Bumped.  If anyone has a Home and Bargain near them they're stocking Nespresso compatible "Bestpresso" Lungo pods 20 for £1.99

 

Got a box so will have one when I get in and report back.  Last time they had similar I stocked up to fuck. 

[Paulie Dangerously]

 

Get on them lads

[PestiRed]

Friends working in Ethiopa have just brought us back a big bag of Tomoca coffee for our espresso machine. It is beautiful

[Elite]

Any good deals on the actual machine?
