But I get a hot chocolate. Not coffee. I do like the smell though, so maybe I go just for the smell of coffee without needing to pay?

My Tassimo is long gone. An Aeropress is only about £30 online so why wait

If I use coffee then it tends to instant nowadays. I tend to veer towards South American beans. Sainurys do a (not remotely cheap) own brand from Costa Rica or there is a wonderful Cafe Direct from Macchu Picchu.

If I drink from a coffee house it's typically Starbucks but I only really frequent them at Christmas for the Eggnog.

I don't use Costa since they were taken over a fair few years back but will never go now they are owned by Coca-cola and have the cheapest and worst quality now.

You don't leave them to brew for too long. How long do you let yours brew?

It's only a few minutes isn't it? 4 mins online it states. But say 4mins brew + 3 minutes to prepare and clean up. 7minues to make one cafetiere. 7m x 5 = 35 minutes a day making coffee. That's not that long surely?

Depends on the grind size.

It's a coarse grind which I thought needed a longer brew time, right?

In the west.

I only drink a double espresso as other coffees take too long to drink.

I go to Costa most of the time but, you can't beat an artisan coffeeshop.

We used to go to an independent run by a French couple. Their coffee was honestly the best we've ever had (in a coffee shop) in this country. At home we use a Nespresso with a variety of capsules we buy from an independent source.

We both love coffee.

There’s a small Cuban cafe not far from where I live that has a walk up coffee bar. The espresso or cafe con Leche is very good.

Yes, that's correct. Finer grinds will be more bitter if you let it brew too much - some grinds aren't suitable for the cafeterie at all. Medium fine at finest.

"Aeropress, roast and post bean subscription"

So with an aeropress do you have to buy beans and grind them first ?

I have a cafetiere for every occasion ranging from a 3 cup to a 12 cup and I have a selection of Mokka pots for when my Italian friends call round.

I prefer to buy the beans and grind them as an when required.

I'm a cafetiere kind of gal. We grind our on beans as well, so much nicer. If I'm out I'll have a flat white from wherever is available but I do try and find an independent coffee shop
