Thanks for the vids V12

Nothing wrong with plunger/french press, but it's more involved than Nespresso to get a good cup. Also as there's basically none of the pressure involved with Nespresso/espresso, the whole flavour profile will be different, so it pays to experiment with a coffee type that works in that method that you like. What works for me is: grind right and fresh, heat the press with hot water, use around a heaped tablespoon of grounds per cup, use water just off the boil to saturate the grounds evenly, wait for them to bloom and then stir. Steep for about 4 minutes according to taste and press down firm and consistantly. Pour en savour. Mmm! If you want more of an espresso type coffee in the bush the Aeropress should be a better bet.

Yip thanks GB I'm looking forward to it! Must say that the little Krups isn't doing too badly for what it is, but the inconsistency is quite obvious. Starting to get some better foam, poured a sort of artistic looking trampled flower

I don't even wana know

Finally got my Oscar. Very happy with it, just my skills are barista that are lacking Excellent service from Alessandro at Tazzadoro, we talked coffee for over an hour and he was still willing to see me 6:30pm on a Friday! 2nd hand Mazzer Super Jolly Grinder to follow in the week Going to get it serviced and sprayed to match the Oscar

Goed om te sien ek's nie die enigste armgat nie!

Haha cool will remember that

I'll do the bargaining, just say the word

GB well we could really have some bargaining power if we wanted 3 machines, are you in!?

Slayer Espresso. HO.LY.****! Single group on its way

With matching red flake

Well just stay out of fountains for the time being. They caught another guy there on Sunday. Very dodgy looking.

Yip got some 2nd hand Super Jolly's I'm looking at, otherwise Kompak K3 Touch

Red is not my thing but with the metal flake it actually looks pretty good, lot better than the black, Silver is boring!.

Chat to Alessandro at Tazzadoro, maybe we cna get discount if we do a group buy?

Well after muuuuuuuuch debating with V12 Man (thanks for the help!) and myself, I've decided to go this route. Life's too short for bad coffee!

Soon....

Took some time but I found one in SA! Hens teeth I tell you!

Gone but not forgotten

Went to 2 coffee stores today that don't even know what the difference between super auto and semi auto is, or what a Panarello frother is. Eish.

So there's 3 coffee shops in one building? Holy Ristretto Batman!

Shot I've had a few cups from the Mirage at Lucky Bread Co. in Brooklyn Mall. Good pour over too, Sweet Yellow or such, can't remember the exact name of the coffee I chose.

You know I can't afford a Mirage or a Slayer

Thanks V12, Oscar seeming like a far better option right now. I mainly drink espresso and flat white/cappuccinos so do need steaming ability.
