En ik ga niet in een koffiezaak 4 euro blijven betalen voor gebrande koffie uit een bean to cup machine. 😆 I would rather have good quality coffee at home and spend the coffee shop money on stroopwafels Ant in the NL, Dexter-morgan and Flemish Lion 3

Oh my. what the dutch get wrong with their coffee they correct with their pastries. Stroopwafels and appelflappe are my Achilles heels here. Ant in the NL 1

Here it seems its a stop at a local supermarket if you're lucky? I found a Spar out and about this last weekend. Had a coffee and a bobotie tosti 🤌🏼
W@nted Posted February 6 Posted February 6 Took only a few shots to dial in the grind… Still need to perfect the milk steaming though. Very happy so far! Flemish Lion, Spinnaroonie, Andrew_Smith and 5 others 8

The coffee culture is here, the problem is that due to the lack of baristas, most restaurants in the smaller towns use automatic bean to cup machines. I do believe in the bigger cities the quality is a bit better. Also, most dutch only drink black coffee. Milk is frowned upon in coffee (they even call it koffie verkeerd)😂 Ant in the NL and Flemish Lion 2

Ant in the NL Posted February 8 Posted February 8 If I go any further north I'll be in Norway 🤣 I'm about 35kms from the Afsluitdijk near Hoorn

Steady Spin Posted June 7 Posted June 7 Good morning fellow addicts The lady and I were talking and we are considering moving to a bean to cup machine. In order to do so we will be selling the Rancilio setup to fund the purchase. What could be realistically ask for this: Everything is about 6 years old and in use daily to make about 4 to 5 cups. Silivia machine Rocky Doser grinder (Needs a small repair. The dosser arm gear is stripped) Two drawer stand All baskets and bits. Bottomless Portafilter Overall in really good condition. Essentially this: https://heavenlycoffees.com/products/rancilio-silvia-serious-combo Spinnaroonie and Christie 2
