Coffee. How do you take yours?

[MNW67]

Aeropress is superior imho.

For a long coffee, the cafetiere is good enough for me. It is so quick and simple and I love the robust, complex flavour.

A little bit more skill is needed with an Aeropress.

But you should read how others on here obsess about their coffee and their machines!

I was actually Googling last night why cafetiere coffee tastes different to filter coffee. Apparently, the filter paper absorbs some of the oils from the coffee grounds, which strips out some of the flavour.

It's an addiction thing. Once you have a decent machine, you cannot go back.

As said, my go-to, is the French Press, however - whilst away, with the caravan, I compromise a little. I use coffee bags, one bag, per two cups, in one of those two cup drinking/vacuum flask things. It after it's 4 minute brewing time, it gets poured into a mug.

I have to confess to making a coffee filter with kitchen towel and the end of a plastic milk carton, once or twice.

I would drink, but don't enjoy as much as my French Press, Costa/Greggs/etc.,

If I'm out and about I find just a normal white coffee from McDonalds is very good, plenty of body - especially at the price. I find Greggs a bit wishy-washy. Never visit Costalot or Star*ucks. Rip-off!

One of our friends is a coffee snob. When we used to stop for a coffee at the café in Weald country park, she would insist that they made the coffee from the second machine behind the counter. They had two identical bean to cup machines but she swore the second machine was better. I used to hate it when it was my turn to get the coffee's in as when I asked for one from the second machine, they would always say "they are both the same" and I’d have to explain that our coffee snob insisted they weren’t.

I used to sometimes use kitchen towels, in the early days of electric coffee machines, when they used throwaway paper filters, and I ran out of them.

Instant , strong with milk

Now I'm not fussy but I find the cheaper instant is more to my taste

I love coffee, but last year I had to go decaf which is quite upsetting.
I used to buy organic Honduras coffee beans from a shop in Tiverton, the coffee was lovely. I used to grind them up and chuck two spoonfuls in a cafetière, leave for 3 or 4 minutes and drink black.
Now I buy decaf beans and it's not the same. Not found a brand of decaf I like yet.

As do we, the Lidl Gold, which takes an age to dissolve.
