Looks a bit like the old stadia logo 😁
Not a huge fan of infused coffee personally but can see the appeal. I’ve tried a few “natural” beans recently that basically have the cherries on in the drying process leading to some really cool flavours without adding anything.
One of the ones I tried was this Colombian from Casa Espresso which was insanely lemon-y. Almost to the point of being too sickly sweet!
Replying to this with my thoughts as I go through and try them!
I’ve given the Maraba a few brews in the v60 and to me it makes a lovely cup! I did make an error while ordering this one - I ordered filter pre-ground by accident! The good news is is a perfect grind for my v60 but there’s definitely more taste to be had if I’d ordered whole beans like the other ones!
I’ve got a few entry level seikos and it seems like they put all the focus on the watch face, dial, movement etc and use the bracelet as the main way of getting the price down. Honestly, I think it’s a great way to go considering how easy it is to change the bracelet vs the other components.
I wouldn’t let it stop you, I’m super happy with mine!
Can’t wait for Hoffmann to do a video on this monstrosity!
I’m pet sure this will be my next gear purchase. I do have a v60 but made the mistake of getting the ceramic version which saps heat way more then a plastic version.
How does it brew compared to a normal v60?
I’ve got a very similar as a daily driver and couldn’t agree more. A nice metal bracelet is a well worthy upgrade and if you’re confident enough a sapphire Crystal is also a great upgrade.
Same here, no sense wasting good beans so may as well blend when you don’t have enough for a full brew.
It was between £10-£12 per 250g bag which for the UK isn’t the worst I’ve seen but still petty pricy. I still think that’s fairly reasonable for single origin responsibly sourced coffee. I’ll use 22g per cup so it’s roughly £1 per cup.
Next time I’m going to give Limini coffee a go, they’re another local roaster to me but their single origin 250g bags start at about £7.50.
The most I’ve spent is around £22 for 250g for some square mile Kenyan stuff which was fun for a one off but definitely not an every day kind of coffee!
I usually have a couple Asda ES columbian bags on hand and they’re 2x250g for £5.50. Definitely not amazing coffee by any stretch but I can’t splash out all the time 😂
I do too! As a bonus they’re paper with no plastic so really easy to recycle!
I think you’ll have a great time! Check out this for a great starting recipe: https://youtu.be/j6VlT_jUVPc
Also in the pic the scales are set to timer so I know to press when it hits the 2min mark.
Exactly this! Maybe not completely necessary in an aeropress vs something like a V60. Also used to weigh the beans before and after the grind to make sure it’s consistent :)
Can’t go too far wrong with the AP!
I completely agree, when the beans were super fresh it was a really unique taste that has become nicer (more muted) as the beans age a little.
I usually do go for the inverted method and do prefer it too!
I did try their decaf blend which was ok. Not as good as full fledged but a good option for me when I fancy an afternoon coffee.
There’s some great suggestions here already but to add a couple more: Union coffee & Edgcumbes. Had great beans from both!
