Coffee mail order

Waitrose is my local supermarket. It’s smashing tbf.

Millsy It’s a Brexshitter free zone.

Not even the artisan Melton Mowbrays could tempt one in there (too expensive).

Much prefer Best-One to Waitrose.

mono-stereo Londis, mate. Their frozen pizzas are superb, tons of bread on the base, not much else.

My local Londis has some lovely seasonal microwave bacon right now.

So I’ve just opened my 3rd 500g bag of the Coffee Compass bourbon beans. Absolutely loving the lattes / cappuccinos. Never been an espresso drinker and not sure I ever will be. I’m sure the lattes and cappuccinos are much more forgiving - they must be as I haven’t had a bad one yet.

Going to order in a kilo of the Rave Fudge blend for my next beans

Jules72

Old-Dutch great stuff eh.. tbh Dutchy I switched to Brighton Lanes (also by Coffee Compass) lately and fck me they’re even nicer beans that Sweet Bourbon… I wasn’t that much of a fan of Rave’s Fudge tbh… if I was going to order elsewhere I’d probably go for the Red Brick (someone talked about them above)

Ah cool will take a look at the Brighton Lanes too - cheers

Out of interest are you drinking them as espresso or latte / cappuccino?

Kettle on, milk in, one teaspoon of Kenco Millicano and I am good to go.

I note that Nick Warren has strongly aligned himself to Douwe Egberts recently. It’s a smart move. Problem is each time he drinks it he ends up with tremendous crotch heat.

Nick Warren’s mate (who used to be on the telly) brought a jar of Douwe Egberts back from Northern Kenya after filming. Apparently the tribespeople he visited made him sup it during a ritual that eventually made the poor bastard throw up. Regardless, he enjoyed it as it was a great experience.

Old-Dutch I like a flat white so prob around ⅕ espresso, rest milk in a smallish cappuccino cup

@Old-Dutch

do your self a favour mate - have a bang on that

Best cappuccino this side of Milan.

Nice! Looking forward to trying the beans lads cheers

Is it really worth paying the extra for these coffees. Are they far superior in flavour than my Lavazza red beans.

Jules72

Dubman Beans are by far the most important bit, so yes 100%…Coffee Compass beans are pretty cheap at the end of the day - you prob get 20 cups out of a 500g bag, so you are saving a lot vs buying from a crappy chain.

Think a latte or flat white is a completely different drink from an espresso … don’t think they’re comparable personally.

Isn’t chucking a load of milk into good coffee equivalent of having a 50 year old malt whiskey and sticking a load of Rola Cola in it?

Along_the_Wire

Jules72 Coffee is too sweet with milk in it to me.

What a result. I’m working in Littlehampton tomorrow. I’ll pop in there and pick some up. what would you recommend as a starter.

My Canadian mate only drinks strong black coffee without any sugar. That’s just way to strong for me.
I think I’ll have to invest in some good beans to see. I used to bring a 1 kg of coffee beans from India every year until realised it wasn’t that good at all.

Old-Dutch

I’ve been making about 3 a day since I got the kit. 2 for me and 1 for the wife. Buying that from a cafe is probably over £10 a day, so £300 a month. With the Coffee Compass beans I got I’m spending about £1 a day or so.
