I'm bored with whinging - so, a gear thread

I really want a sage coffee machine but she keeps saying nope.

You lot are spoilt - what every happened to the simple ideas?? :wink:

Instant gives me bellyache, but I got a bean-to-cup machine for Christmas (current equivalent to the model at work). Prior to that I was grinding my own beans and using a manual espresso machine (but the amount of work and cleaning involved resulted in a markedly reduced coffee intake).

My boss got one on Black Friday… he then logged off for two hours to go and play with it. Fantastic apparently.

Been through a variety of coffee types - Inc Aeropress. But my new default go to is this little beast - and it beats the Aeropress as there’s no requirement for filter paper, so once less thing to carry about!!

Love my aeropress, good for me as I’m making a single cup of coffee rather than two. I’ve switched to a washable and reusable metal filter for cost purposes but the paper filters make better coffee.

IIRC there’s an aeropress which uses the older nespresso type capsules, which are easy enough to get hold of. Might be good for field use?

And I think you can get silicone refillable nespresso pods now too

This is what i expect when doing fieldcraft

That or half hour wait for a hipster pour over I a chemex, having hand ground the beans with a mortar and pestle.

Thats the dream

After roasting the beans individually to ensure a ‘perfect’ roast.

I took a jet boil & aeropress to Nijmegen in ‘23… for a “nice coffee” at RP1…

Two issues… even with a jet boil, setting everything up when you’re smashing through RPs is a faff and a ball ache… secondly; I hadn’t fully appreciated the full laxative effects of a strong coffee followed by exercise!

Breakfast was lovely though - especially with access to a proper toilet, with MUCH shorter queues!

Right, time for a separate coffee thread! :wink:

Oooh… now you’re talking…

Who else has discovered Adaptogenic coffees…? (One for What Are You Eating / Drinking? thread me thinks?)

Yeah, no way I was making coffee in 8 minutes.
