How’s the coffee making coming along Bodd?
Not knowing what to gave for Christmas, I asked Mrs Mottie for a coffee machine. Not a bean to cup, I'm not ready for that yet. I bought some ground beans in preparation. Only Lidl own brand, Italian blend, strength 4. Anyway, the machine arrived today so I thought I’d try it out. Not a success. Tried several times but it was either too weak or too strong. Was on the point of giving up when our daughter came in. She used to do a bit of baristaring (if that’s the word) nearly 20 years ago so she took over. Didn’t come out half bad so I had a go myself and it was nearly as good. Much more practice and experimenting with different coffee's needed. I looked up one video on YT but he went into actually weighing out the beans before grinding them. I’m beginning to wish I hadn’t asked for one now! It’s a present so I can’t just chuck it aside and I’ve been told I can only have one machine on the worktop at any one time. I’m suffering coffee machine overload at the moment.
What I do know though is that after half a dozen double shots, I’m buzzing!
