En ik ga niet in een koffiezaak 4 euro blijven betalen voor gebrande koffie uit een bean to cup machine. 😆 I would rather have good quality coffee at home and spend the coffee shop money on stroopwafels Dexter-morgan, Flemish Lion and Ant1234 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my. what the dutch get wrong with their coffee they correct with their pastries. Stroopwafels and appelflappe are my Achilles heels here.

Here it seems its a stop at a local supermarket if you're lucky? I found a Spar out and about this last weekend. Had a coffee and a bobotie tosti 🤌🏼 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W@nted Posted February 6 Share Took only a few shots to dial in the grind… Still need to perfect the milk steaming though. Very happy so far! Frosty, Cippo, Ant1234 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coffee culture is here, the problem is that due to the lack of baristas, most restaurants in the smaller towns use automatic bean to cup machines. I do believe in the bigger cities the quality is a bit better. Also, most dutch only drink black coffee. Milk is frowned upon in coffee (they even call it koffie verkeerd)😂 Ant1234 and Flemish Lion 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
