Ha so weird seeing ilkley on tattle (that’s where I grew upInspired by the Tea Time thread - a place to discuss favourite brands of coffee and coffee recommendations and coffee equipment.
Do you aeropress? Do you cafetiere? Do you have a machine? Or do you just love a good instant coffee?! Let's talk coffee
Me personally, I have an aeropress and I now have a Hario coffee bean grinder but tbh it's always easier to just buy the coffee groundI really want to order some more Dark Woods Under Milk Wood coffee. It was served to us in a cafe last year in Ilkley and I loved it so much I bought a few bags. Very expensive though so we only buy it as a treat!
From what the coffee snobs say, unless you're dropping a grand or two bean to cup things are a total waste. Lots of them tend to buy things like an espresso as it's not worth the effort needed to make a good one at home.Would absolutely love one of those bean to cup coffee shop machines one day
The smell of coffee is my favourite smellCafetiere with Taylor of Harrogate rich Italian ground coffee. Funnily enough, I just posted in another thread how I love the smell of a newly opened bag of coffee.
Can't go wrong with Taylor if Harrogate either - love their lazy Sunday (?) coffee!Cafetiere with Taylor of Harrogate rich Italian ground coffee. Funnily enough, I just posted in another thread how I love the smell of a newly opened bag of coffee.
My bf watches his videos and starts getting harebrained coffee ideasDoes anyone watch James hoffmann? He's a terrible snob and trys all these coffee things that you know he'll proclaim as awful but knows his stuff and can be entertaining in small doses.
Although I think he's a bit shady for having so many views that he earns about £10-20k a month in YouTube ads + sponsored videos for a few more grand and still has a patreon to beg for cash. Just checked now and it's earning him £15'953 a month in donations. He says the patreon money is to make him impartial but really it's unnecessary and greedy imo. Although of course it's people's choice.
The Aldi ones are my favourite, my partner has previously spent tonnes on pretentious beans and I swear these are nicerI have the Aldi Italian style beans (1.49 for 225g), grind them in a nutribullet each day and brew in a French press for 5-6 mins. Seems cheap for coffee but tastes on par with a medium roast at Starbucks or Costa to me.
I've never bought super expensive beans, but paid 4-5 times more than Aldi ones in a supermarket without thinking they're better. I think the Aldi beans are often pretty fresh unlike supermarkets that have loads of brands and could have been roasted months ago. Not many unripe beans either.The Aldi ones are my favourite, my partner has previously spent tonnes on pretentious beans and I swear these are nicer
