The Coffeehouse.... Baristi, Barista, Bariste

A few weeks ago I decided that after years of using pod coffee machines at home, I would try and improve my coffee at home experience, I was never going to thrown thousands of pounds at this but decided that this Ninja machine would suit my needs as it can used manual or automatic.

At first I wasn’t impressed with the results, but things seem to be improving to my taste buds anyway. I usually will have either espresso, americano or a latte depending on the time of day and my mood.

I have also missed the posts of Grant on this thread in the last couple of years and thought I would post my attempts to try resurrect a thread that was not seeing much traffic.

I did some upgrades to my 10 year old Rocket Giotto a few months ago.

Vibration pump with silencer installed. Plus car noise insulation. Runs much more quietly now.

Whilst Rocket machines are expensive initially, they are user serviceable with half a brain applied to the problem.

I think this will easily last another decade if not more.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...85bda45678.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7c30b4b01f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1eaf988298.jpg

Looks very nice probably a bit complicated for a beginner like me

Today’s effort although I think the small cup is much too small for my big fingers https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e87d37ff05.jpg

There's a zillion in this thread somewhere up above, Marco. Think I have lost the will to post more.

That was Grant's job, bless him:)

Try Wogan Coffee on the web for decent beans. That's a really top recommendation IMHO try not to ignore it.

I told Grant about them and he got hooked.

Looking good Robin.

And to second the recommendation for Wogan coffee.
I have spent years "suffering" the smell of freshly roasted coffee as I went past on my into work.

They are very good.
