Craig fae the Vale Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 I picked up a few bags of beans in Spain the other week. The quality is outstanding. Got the Pact Advent Calendar to start on Friday. Quite looking forward to it, heard their coffee is good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velo army Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Wrong thread, but due to a desire to calm rather than stimulate my nervous system I've switched to raw cacao. Add a bit of cinnamon, chilli powder and a tiny bit of sugar and it sorts out the initial buzz without the concomitant jangliness experienced with coffee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Recently got a moka pot and have decided that it’s my favourite way to brew a coffee. A well made espresso is good, but I don’t have the capital or space on the worktop for one in the house so it can stay as a treat for when I’m out and about. Only thing is it’s easy to forget about it and boil the coffee. So anyway, grinders. I want a small, compact and ideally hand powered one, on a budget. Any suggestions? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig fae the Vale Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Day 1 of the Pact Advent Calendar is very good. Bodes well for the month, and enough in the wee packets for 2 coffees. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will report back after I finish my current batch of pre ground coffee and grind some beans. I "imagine" it will be better, maybe fresher but - a bit like making your own Thai Curry paste - the end result might not be much better than a decent shop bought one ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 The Pact Advent Calendar has been absolutely superb. Not been a single one I've not really enjoyed. Will definitely buy again next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
