Coffee drinkers

[K74T]

I think I'm good on coffee for the remainder of the year with these two packs.

On another note had coffee from a Nespresso. I rate it!!!

I picked up that same Costa but in the beans a little while back, it's really good.

Also these Nescafe instant

Guys, any tips on using a Moka Pot? I bought one recently and I'm not getting the results that I'm supposed to. I'm putting boiling water first and not packing the coffee. Also I'm using medium heat to get it going and then dropping it slowly to low when it starts brewing. It keeps sputtering out and isn't an even flow.

I have a thick iron tawah (3-4mm thick). I put the moka pot on that with lukewarm water and leave it on medium heat. I know it's iron because it rusts.

It takes 12+ mins to brew a pot.

If you really want a little crema effect, you need a fine or fine-to-medium grind. But if you looking to replicate the true espresso effect with a a good head, the moka pot does not get to the pressure needed. Better than drip, but not true espresso

This is the high science I read on this post sometime earlier. It works really well, tawah ftw

Moka pot boys, don’t forget to change your gasket every 12 months or so.
I use mine every day, I suppose I got about 500 brews from mine but it needed changing for the last 2-3 months

Morning everyone.
Any suggestions as to where to get a Nespresso or Keurig locally? Checked HD Coffee in Debe, they have the Keurigs. Any other options let me know.

Thanks.

For Keurig pods you can get them at any gourmet stores around - Peppercorns, one in Valpark (cant rem the name) etc. they might have nespresso too.

Have to make a pass by HD Coffee when I go down that side.

I have a hybrid machine that uses grounds and K cups with an interchangeable basket. Think the wife got in in Heartland Plaza a few years back. Possibly Homeland Furnishing.

I tried nespresso in a nespresso store recently and tbh it was miles ahead of any K cup coffee I have ever had. Not sure which pod they used but I had asked for a black with a touch of milk after (no sugar)
If I had the coin I would definitely get the Nespresso.

Its two different brewing methods, grounds size and cup size. The average K cup brews an 8 oz cup while the espresso brews are 4-6oz i think, so stronger richer taste. try setting to the smallest cup and strong brew option on the keurig.

Thanks for the feedback guys.
Got the Keurig on sale at HD Coffee for 999. Took the reusable basket one time, as I normally buy beans for a conventional drip machine.
Also took their membership as I got a discount one time. $100 for life and immoderate discounts on all present and future purchases. They have a nice assortment of pods and bags.

I really tried to support local.
Bought a pack of Jose Perez Grounds last weekend. Read on the pack a story about some Cuban who moved to the TT in the 1930s and started a roasting business in PoS with someone.
So far I have brewed using the Jose Perez twice and man that flavour profile is horrible.
Finally opened my New England brand this week and its chalk and cheese.

Also on the grind side the Jose Perez is a bit too fine for my machine.

[pugboy]

a lot depends on age of beans
beans lose a lot after 2-4weeks
but plateaus a bit and after couple months it’s all downhill and not same taste
and that is for whole beans

ground will be a lot faster degradation

Massy has some Waitrose ground that decent.

The Java is good. Went to grab a second pack and picked up a Colombian. These are the "reserve" packages, not regular. Comes in a kinda muted gold colour pack.

All the local coffee I tried was failure tbh, I gave a lot of them a fair shot - from commercial to small farms.

What does rituals use, local? Their stuff is really good I find

Nah they importing everything, only thing local is the staff and the company registration

[Dizzy28]

Got myself my newest stash, none of which I had before. Should be set for a few months.

Really didn't look closely when ordering the tims because until I collected I didn't realize I ordered beans.

[david12]

I picked up Dunkin in Pricesmart years ago and didn't realise it was beans. Ended up grinding it with a Ninja and using it for cold brew and drip because it was on the coarser side.

Commercial brand name Big Train

oh yeah i been there a couple of times. i like it there too.

i saw it have a place in montrose right by the traffic lights from the highway called Sunday Coffee, but is to reach to park there... lol

[X_Factor]

how is boba and brew?
i saw the guy who does roastel stuff recommend that place

[Dizzy28]

Now remember I also bought a box of Pods ....assorted black coffees, no flavoured Shiite.

[Dizzy28]

Got this for Christmas. Solves the beans problem I had where I errantly bought a 2lb bag of Tim Horton beans instead of Grounds.

[david12]

I've been grinding my herbs...I mean beans since December. Recently I've found that my pre grounds were getting stale quickly on me so grinding right before brewing makes a big difference. A bag of coffee has become more versatile for different brewing methods now; Moka pot, cold brew, drip etc.
