  1. I'll make the waitress a cuppa
  2. Made this one the other day
  3. Taken at Linger Longer in Dullstroom
  4. Have been problems on the path running along Wekker road before with runners being mugged so watch out there. Always people running there and usually dark there. Glad the guy is ok. Rather go run in nature reserve. Glad to hear the cops did their job MTB101!
  5. Can we flag this on Strava as unsafe or something? Create a section maybe? Failing that PM me if anyone is keen to erect signage there to warn fellow cyclists
  6. Great stuff it's a start!
  7. I take it they didn't know?
  8. Thanks for the heads up. This is crazy. My mother heard shots so this must be it. Never go out that way but still too close for comfort, I have gone running out that way so even a slower target!
  9. Sorry to hear about this, glad the guy is OK! You mean next to the road heading back from Mooikloof side with the rubbish/washing area to your left then before you get to the cemetery turn off? Hectic if it happened next to the road like that.
  10. Think this was from the 2010 one, but I didn't put any info in so not sure http://connect.garmin.com/activity/51326567

  12. Getting there quite quick cadence well done!
  13. The F50 we have has that but I have battled to get much from it with the changes. YRMV.
  14. Years of good service from our Jura if you want push and forget. Coffee from it is drinkable but with no real setting you get what you get really.
  15. Yip I took it you are more than welcome! Name and shame!
  16. Lekker great you got it! There is a spring that needs to go in a groove in the the PF first before the baskets go in, take it you didn't put it in? If the grinds are fine like salt but not clumping like wet sand you are in the ballpark. I found the double basket to need about 18g on the Oscar, tried weighing 14 but doesnt work. Fast flow with wet puck. Fill the basket so it's heaped then use the NSEW method to flatten it and tamp. There's a ridge in the basket right below which the coffee bed should be when tamped if it's filled right. Your tamper top of the bottom part should be flush with the basket top when tamped. Timing officially starts when you press the button but I go from start of flow. Main thing is to check for an even pour so you know grind and tamp is right and stop as it blondes, nevermind the time.
  17. I've bought and made Illy myself, don't like the taste. But my gripe comes with it being touted as such superior coffee and costs so much, but it's roasted in Italy, and then sealed and shipped here and sits on a shelf for a long time before I buy and use it so it's old by the time I want to make coffee with it. Also blends aren't my favourite. There are great local roasters offering fresh coffee at way better prices. I use an Illy jar lid upside down for a coaster and the tin to hold my coffee accessories in the cupboard haha.
  18. Illy to me is old, stale, overpriced coffee.
  19. Like this from Doppio Zero at South Downs. Not sure what to call this ****!? Warm dishwater with scalded washing up liquid on top perhaps? R17 my ass, they're going to hear from me, they need to train their staff.
  20. I just drink Rooibos if I want a hot drink. It's not easy making great coffee but really the average cup is so bad it's shocking. It really should be higher, but then again with a Jakobs coffee nation that is unlikely to change very soon...
  21. Some places would do much better coffee that way. Flip I've had some terrible coffee! Best is the place next to Troisport using the ESE pods
  22. Red flake looks lovely, silver was a bit bland to me but each to his own! Post pics when you get em!
