WTF ... our coffee machine seems to have packed up and my son broke the handle on the Bialletti pot .... going to have to make a custom handle for that pot ASAP!

 

At least I think I have enough beans for 21 + days ... I hope at least.

I delivered a lot of coffee today to clients who were panic ordering  :thumbup:

 

I got myself something special for Dear Maria x Father Coffee  

 

Stocked up on water for the machine, papers for the manual brew stuff... 

 

Cant run out...

No need to panic guys, disaster averted!

 

The offending broken handle.

 

A quick new shaped handle from a bit of scrap timber (Smells like Iroko), used some epoxy to set the handle before pinning the handle, pot body and lid back together with a piece of brass welding rod.

 

A stuk blou draad or a braai tang could've worked just as well.

Walked into WW and saw this! Very nice Indeed 6dfd0edcf32e559556b62d474b736c58.jpg

I tried it last week - works fine to froth indeed - but does change the mouth feel a bit - Might just be a change of taste I am noticing.

 

As an aside from this - I have had good success with Spar brand UHT long life milk if you want to get some stocks in - square container with a green top.

 

I am about to start with an experiment on what freezing woolies fresh milk will have - bottle defrosting now.... bottle only expires on 4/4 and has been frozen 2 days - will be interesting to see - never tried this one before - all I noticed so far is that the plastic was significantly expanded when I took it out the freezer - if it works then I will use a little first out the bottle rather than risk a massive leak in the freezer.
