Hi guys

 

If you're ever in the Kalk Bay area, there's a spot that sells some good coffee at decent prices.

Spot is called Damn fine coffee and that it is. Roasted on the premises so fresh.

Hi Grebel, thank you, my tamper arrived this afternoon. It looks beautiful and the first tamp worked very well - pretty much no play with a 18g VST basket and very easy on the hand. I took one brass ring out so my fingers can easily touch the basket and tamper while tamping to check for an even level.

Wow! you've done a great job on these and I can only encourage you to keep going and anyone else who might want to upgrade, this is a very good one, and quite unique!  

 

Also, what a pleasure to deal with Grebel - no fuss, no hassle, he went the extra mile. Thanks!

 

Regards, Ken

I can concur. The fit is perfect and it looks beautiful. Machine is away for a service, so will only get to use it when it returns.

But well done!

Anybody looking for good quality beans in Ballito should try Beanstruk at the Litchi orchard. The best I have tried so far in this area!

I tried posting this video here but it's too big so the best I idea I could come up with is posting it to twitter and then posting the tweet here.

My brother inlaw has this for sale. Let me know if you want to get in-touch.

So quiet...

OK then.

 

After much cogitation I've just treated myself to a Bialetti Tuttocrema milk frother. 

 

What experience and/or suggestions regarding:-

 

- type of milk?

- temperature (will be heated on a a gas hob).

- milk quantity per cup of coffee?

- minimum quantity that can be prepared (enough for a single cup?)

 

Looking forward to your input.

• Full Cream - Fresh
• aim for just above 60 Degrees C, or if using a steel milk jug, the temperature your (non-chef"s) hands gripping the body of the jug begin to "burn"
• What drink are you trying to make? Espresso? none! Flat White or Cappuccino? a ratio of 1:3-5 parts espresso to milk. Latte 1:7-9
• what is the smallest measurement you can do, and how delicately can you add heat? I am sure someone facetious out there can heat less than a ml?

Thanks very much for the guidance.

 

I would to make cappucino and flat white, the simplest one first, whatever that is..?

The only difference is the milk - and it's a very small difference - dont worry too much about it - learn to use your equipment a bit first before you get too specific.

 

If you are using a stovetop steamer for milk - then what are you using for the espresso?

do yourself a favour, find a small dairy farm and buy unprocessed milk directly from them, the kind of milk that after a day in the fridge you can see the cream sitting at the top...

Thanks for your input V12.

 

 In fact I'm not making true cappucino, but rather adding frothed milk to a standard cup of V60 brewed pour-over. There is a moka pot in my future though

Not sure what to call that... ????

 

I seem to recall something similar on a chart of coffees - will have to look at it again.

 

Iteachcoffee might know - he will comment soon enough
