    Default The Coffeehouse.... Baristi, Barista, Bariste

    Coffee arrived. 3 250gm bags. I'm not overly short but fancied trying the new ones



    Also noticed the new 250 fm packets are click sealing so will stay fresh in bag. That's a great advantage. Well done Rave

    Just got myself a nice 1kg bag of one of my favourite types of coffee beans on ebay, as commonly used by Costa:



    I know from experience that these beans make wonderful cappuccinos! Also got myself an entry-level hand grinder, to use with my Moka pot, and will see how that goes, before investing in the type of machine Gaz has recommended:
