Interesting... Does it taste "burnt" to you?
Marco.
No.
It tastes like espresso. I tend to drink stronger coffee than her though.
Pinkie is visiting next month, so I will get other opinions then.
Fast grinder might be strengthening it a little. Also the machine will be extracting more. Yes a milder roast. The Taylor's nice n easy level 3 roast. She will like that
These things are phenomenal and I have been drinking 90% of the coffee I make through Avex products for years and years.Quote:

It then gets me through my commute to work and the first hour of the morning at work. These things ABSOLUTELY DO NOT LEAK, even when years old and have been through the dishwasher countless times.
If this product did not exist I probably wouldn't have bothered getting so deeply into coffee making. Even at home I will still make coffee with the intent of drinking it over the course of an hour or so from one of these.
Just excellent.
The one linked is not the style I use personally but it is out of stock on Amazon. Check the feedback. Essential, nay mandatory purchase.

The wife has two of the Contigo West Loop, so based on experience, I bought myself one as well!
Thanks Grant. The trouble is that Taylors is hard to get in France... ;)Quote:

Those ones I got from tank are both light roasted and all climpsons stuff is too. African beans especially go well with mild light roast
I have ordered a mixture of 250g bags from "Cafes Lugat" to try, consisting of:
Ethiopie - Moka Nekemte - Medium roast. Apparently Floral and fruity (lemon zest) notes.
Brésil - Tres Barras - Light roast. Notes of nut, caramel and vanilla.
Colombie - Las Planadas - Medium roast. Notes of blackcurrant and caramel.
Le Mélange Bio (Ethiopie/Pérou) - Medium roast. Notes of chocolate and citrus fruits.
Le Blend Moka (Ethiopie) - Medium roast. Notes of exotic fruit and nougatine
Le Maracaju ( (Brésil, Ethiopie)) - Light roast. Red fruit and chocolate notes.
Ethiopie - Moka Yrgacheffe -Light roast. Notes of dates and Bergamot.
Costa Rica - Tarrazu - Light Roast. Almond and cacao notes.
Time will tell if any of them are any good!
Sounds good
