travisza Posted October 29, 2021 Share Hi all, question on grind size....I'm using a Severin grinder, grind on its max/coarsest setting or very close. 90% of my coffee is made using a french press. (I grind finer when using the moka pot) Is this grind too fine for a french press? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult to tell from pictures, but I have the same grinder and when grinding for French press, I actually use it coarser than the numbered settings. If the numbers continued to 14, that's about where I set it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedal menace Posted October 29, 2021 Share Is it worth advertising? I have a De Longhi Prima Donna ESAM6600 that has not been used much I want to sell. Perfect working condition. Was around R12K - will sell for around R6k. Worth selling a coffee machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, you can make a proper cup with the right technique. I still prefer the V60, but the aeropress is so easy and convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alouette3 Posted November 2, 2021 Share https://www.backyardbrewcoffee.co.za/ Found these guys at the Under the Trees market on the weekend, running some specials. Chatted with the owner a bit and bought some Nicaragua and their Cobrata blend. Keen to try it out! Cappi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alouette3 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Their home Cobrata blend makes a seriously good flat white Cappi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently a blend of medium and dark roast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the nerd Posted November 4, 2021 Share House blends are mostly made in that way, so that anyone can enjoy them. With or without milk, tall, short etc.... roasted for smooth and easy drinking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew_Smith Posted November 4, 2021 Share Sorry for derailing the thread but is there perhaps a place to get coffee in Stellenbosch before 07:00 Saturday morning? I see most places only open at 07:00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudsimus Posted November 7, 2021 Share On Friday I had the opportunity to taste the coffee served by Stevo Kuhn at the world barista champs. Prepared exactly like he did during his set. This just changed my whole perspective of how proper coffee should taste. cadenceblur, splat, Andrew_Smith and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
