"How do you take yours I have one cup a day at around 11. For me through much research for a few years now I have single origin beans freshly ground for each brew. I make it with my aeropress. Like the cold shower there are reasons why I choose single origin over blends. And please don’t say Nescafé instant etc is proper coffee." I like a bit of Robusta in there, 20% sometimes 40%. I grind, measure a double then use a cocktail stick , tamper hard press out a double then add a bit of foam for a macchiato | |||

It was a vintage one, lol. I also prefer beans in my grinder and my cafetiere. I did have an Oomph a few years ago, but it broke. | |||

"I have about 3 cups a day. Currently on instant because the guy who runs our coffee and tea area refuses to buy filter papers, so our coffee machine is sat gathering dust! White and 2 sugars for me (preferably in a bucket rather than a puddle cup). " Could you buy your own filter papers or would that cause ructions? | |||

I could buy my own filters but then that’d mean I’m either drinking 12 cups of coffee to myself or I’m paying an extra £8.50 on top of my £5 to provide everyone else with papers. | |||

" novices of good coffee but really enjoy strong enough to get that proper caffeine kick ,but without bitter aftertaste ,smooth rich and milky for J. Any suggestions be appreciated (Regarding Tea..has to be Yorkshire without fail)" If you want a caffeine kick you need to add robusta beans , most of the stuff sold in the uk is 100% arabica so quite low in caffeine. Try an Italian supermarket or buy robusta beans and blend them into arabica | |||

"I quite like the way I make my coffee, supermarket bought grounds brewed in a filter machine with polymer mesh filter. Usually buy quite a strong dark coffee, a number 4 or 5 on the tesco scale. A certain other person though refers to my coffee as "filth", apparently it's not proper enough for them. When they visit they bring fancy beans, hand grinder and cafetiere. The bag for the fancy beans tells the exact origin down to the plantation location, the farmers name and what they had for breakfast the day the beans were hand picked, what temperature the beans were roasted at and for how long, and the inside leg measurement of the delivery person who bicycled the packet to the customers doorstep. Or something like that anyway..." I also have a certain person. For an expresso they weigh the water and time the extraction , it’s has to be exact. But they do make good coffee ! Over here I drink Arabic coffee. They don’t filter it at all , it’s like mud at the bottom & some places add a bit of cardamon. | |||

"I keep it simple and use a cafetiere, first one at around 7.30. Currently my daily is a Colombian blend, just from Lidl (recommend!) and usually have a nicer one after dinner which we grind up ourselves. Interested in an aeropress now so off to google I go!" Get one! Compared to a cafetiere, the same coffee in an aeropress is much more flavourful. The clean up is easier too . I can't recommend them highly enough. | |||

"Arabica beans - Monsoon Malabar Black No sugar . Jamaican Blue Mountain (Arabica bean) Black 9 times out of 10 With milk very rarely. No sugar " Where do you buy the blue mountain ? When I was in Jamaicai I was buying a local supermarket bean called high mountain, technically not blue mountain, but locals told me it’s as good and a fraction of the price. Blue mountain have an extra few meters of height that’s all | |||

I like my aeropress for what camping but it’s not as good as a machine. A cafetiere is a very different type of drink. For best results you need a coarser grind and let it brew for exactly 4mins. I drink it black with a little bit of honey. Out of all the parameters , the grind is probably the most important to get right. Always use a burr not a blade grinder and grind for the method of making / extraction time. | |||

Blue mountain have an extra few meters of height that’s all " I'm not allowed to say, but a Google search will find some. That's very interesting about the slightly lower coffee grown however. I bet the plants are almost touching ! | |||
