Coffee machine

What do you use? Where does one get these filter sets. Would a place like Water Comfort be able to assist?

I use a 3 filter setup - from a place in Pretoria - will have to search for the invoice - will revert.

Keen to hear "what" water you guys are using in your machines?

My machine came with water test kits but I've yet to use them. I've been using water filtered with a Brita, is that required for Cape Town water though?

Going to test water tomorrow in any event.

The one I have looks like the first 3 stages of the 4 stage filter setup - contact them and ask.

Thanks for your assistance.

Thanks for your assistance.

No worries - just whatever you do - DO NOT buy a reverse osmosis setup - instant bad tasting coffee

[cadenceblur]

Yes. I believe so.

Wrong thread, we prefer real coffee here.

Lol. You reckon? They have a three times SA barista champion on board. I'm keen to hear some feedback.

Yeah, I reckon. I like locally roasted coffee as apposed to coffee roasted in some far away mega factory.  

 

Ishan sold himself to the highest bidder, nothing wrong with it, but they have WBC barista's that work for them. 

 

But i would rather support local roasters and not a giant mega business that roasts en mass. You may as well drink Illy.

SCASA isn't all it's cracked up to be, I have my personal views on how winners are chosen but that's another conversation for another day...

I am merely asking out of interest

I know, its just the whohaa thats been made around starbucks is a little disheartening, hopefully it raises awareness for other local roaters and boosts the industry...

In my opinion they won't survive. Especially in Cape Town. Speciality Coffee is growing. They didn't make it in Australia either

Going to be tricky to out do the Cape Town coffee guys

Walked past the new SB shop in Rosebank Jhb, today, nice setup / spot. Will give it a go once the queues subside. Nothing else really going in the area imo.

 

Always happy to see one when I travel, knowing what you will get will be at least half decent.

If Mug and Bean survive I see no reason why Starbucks won't. If you want to know about SA coffee culture find out how many tins of Ricoffee are sold monthly.
