Was that before or after your (similarly gorgeous) comb-over?:DQuote:

That one's a wee bit too 'burnt brown' around the edges for me, mate. Good, but not one of your best. Prefer it when your crema looks more like a creamy ochre:)
Marco.
was twice the caffeine in that lol. had an issue with the machine, or i thought, so i started again but into same cup as a single had been poured. turned out i had ran out of water :doh:
was nice tho, and i'm jumpin':D
Lol - knew it was stronger; it certainly looks it! Ye'll be hyper all night now:eyebrows::eyebrows:

Hi Tim, I've just ordered from Rave for the first time and bought three coffees from them.Quote:

I'm now on Signature Blend - very decent every day blend, easy drinking.
Next up is Brazil Sao Marco - Brazilian is normally my favourite coffee ...
I'm drinking Colombian Suarez beans at the moment Jules (as in right now!), but from a different roaster and like it. It is a lot more delicate than a supermarket Columbian like Tesco Supremo, which is still my favourite supermarket coffee - but only as the whole bean, the ground version isn't that good. I wonder if it's the different roaster for Suarez, how are you drinking it?Quote:

Let us know what the Brazilian Sao Marco is like too - that could be interesting?
I had a really enjoyable first visit to Quantum Coffee in Cardiff Bay yesterday. Run by a couple who are clearly very passionate about coffee and Dimitri roasts on the premises. Had a delicious Cuban Alturo Lavado pour over and he was telling me Cuban beans in Europe are not that common as there isn't too much exported out. It was great chatting to him about coffee and pour overs etc., a tad different to going to Starbucks. Although I hear they've just opened a fancy Starbucks in Covent Garden, but I'd still choose to go to places like Quantum any day of the week.

I'm just waiting for Marco to pop along now and tell me what's wrong with pour overs :lol:
I'm using an Aeropress now which I've had for just a few weeks and very much enjoying it. I've not stepped up to grinding my own beans just yet so buying specially ground coffee for Aeropress.Quote:
