PhilipV Posted April 24, 2017 Share I chucked my aeropress and the little porlex in my bag as I left for a bachelors this weekend, and man I'm impressed. I haven't used it for a year and it was lekker coffee immediately. It may have been a lucky draw to start with but I'll claim it. I'll be using it instead of the stove top at the office from now on.

the nerd Posted April 24, 2017 Share Machine was silver, never liked it. A quick sand, a rub down with thinners and decent rattle can... came out good. Like it a lot more now :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited April 24, 2017 by the nerd Meezo, mon-goose, Long Wheel Base and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat-i Posted April 26, 2017 Share Coarse version. Been using it for years with no issues. Had sealng issues with the old AP but that was because the barrel was stuffed. The plastic had wrinkled. That's why I bought a new one. Would reccomend an Able. Less hassle than the paper filters IMO Which Able are you using? Fine holes? Standard holes?

Skylark Posted April 27, 2017 Share Which Able are you using? Fine holes? Standard holes?Fine is apparently the best one for flavour. Forgot why though [emoji14]I have the fine, just make sure you rinse it immediately after each use or the oils clog up the holes and it's a pita to unblock.

Forgot why though [emoji14]I have the fine, just make sure you rinse it immediately after each use or the oils clog up the holes and it's a pita to unblock.The standard is better for flavour because it lets more oils through but comes at the drawback of more fine grounds getting into the coffee.If you arent concerned about a bit of sediment then the standard is definitely the better one to get.

Rocket-Boy Posted May 4, 2017 Share So I finally caved and bought an automatic for those days where I dont have time to make the proper stuff. I like the ritual of grind/tamp/pull but there isnt always time when I need some espresso in a hurry before Im out of the door.Got one of these which just arrived so will be trying it later and hoping for a decent shot from it.Melitta Caffeo solo which had pretty decent reviews and came in at a good price.

To me flavour wins so I would go for the one that produces a fuller flavour and not be upset by the sediment. Skylark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket-Boy Posted May 5, 2017 Share My Bosch is due for replacement. How much and from where?I bought it from takealot on special at R6k which I feel was fairly cheap.The machine is actually a lot better than I expected, solid construction and it produces a much better coffee than I expected.I still need to get everything dialled in just right but out of the box it was already very good.
