I am sticking to the Aldi beans I bought and stashed in case good coffee would become unavailable post Brexit... That was a year ago, so I feel the need to use them and replace them

In combination with weighing beans and measuring water this has transformed my cups of coffee and I appreciate differences between coffees much more now. Also it is easier to dispose of the grounds in the organic recycling since the puck is much drier than from a cafetiere.

larkim Jun 2020 9:34am, 27 Jun 2020 11,362 posts	0 larkim I bought a second one for work, but made the mistake of visiting the local grocery shop which was a Polish specialists with a non-standard range of coffees and the coffee I randomly selected from there was certainly not to my usual taste, so I’ve not quite yet got a decent cup of coffee at work. But I’ve just switched back to using the aero press at home quite a bit as well as my Gaggia. Both make excellent cups that I enjoy most of the time, though I don’t weigh the coffee or time things religiously.
