No PETSCII?!
I used to have a bean to cup machine and this is basically the only way I could do it with a single hopper. I didn’t weigh it. I just used a scoop and got it down so I could eyeball the amount of beans per serving. It’s not too onerous. The thing to keep in mind is that most of these machines use a timer to dose the beans, so it’s not by weight. It also varies by beans, roast etc. Some beans will take longer to grinder than others. Finally I’d always aim to put slightly less beans in the hopper than the machines timer called for, to make sure there wouldn’t be any left for the next cup.
Oat milk is probably the best, imho. Although don’t dismiss soya milk, especially the barista versions. Personally I went cold turkey on milk in coffee years ago and never looked back. If it’s lacking something without milk, try different coffee! 20 years ago I was a 100% grande latte drinker, but now I’m a freshly ground double espresso every morning.

Just be thankful I didn’t open up a can of bread rolls/buns/baps.
Aldi UK beans aren’t as good as they used to be. I think they changed about 6 months ago. That said, they are still decent and my beans of choice.
Ah, the post holiday email catch-up. I don’t have to deal with this any more because I’m self employed, but when I worked for a company my caffeine intake always increased considerably in those first couple of days back at work.
I’m just back from Sainsburys with the kids. I always use “the app” to pay for the shopping, but it crapped out today, no doubt due to the poor phone signal on the store (I’m not using their BT wifi), and I suspect the kids popped a two pack of chocolate croissants into the trolley bypassing my scannage. So it’s not even midday and we are already a family of pastry thieves.

I mean, it’s mostly a joke. Because clearly Monday is. Except for those of us who WFH. I live for Mondays because everyone gets the hell out of my space. Anyway, the daily thread once said Thursday was the worst. So I’m running with it.
Ah interesting. I really appreciate the ionizer on my Fellow Opus, it does appear to help with the mess (because once it felt like it didn’t kick in and boy, was it messy). But I didn’t realise that point about the positioning in the workflow. Will need to try a drop of water too.
Also, most albums tagged with shoegaze on Bandcamp are not shoegaze. It’s a travesty.
What? I mean, they were young when they did all the good stuff. Black Francis was 14 when he wrote Hear Comes Your Man. There is a Brixton Academy video from 1991 on YouTube and two or three 1989 shows too. Forget about the newer shows! I saw them live in 2004 and 2005 and they were still great, but those earlier shows are where it’s at.
Get busy with the fizzy…
Went to Asda and got some Clipper English Breakfast! Looking forward to trying them out. Don’t mind saying I feel like Lord Snooty with my posh tea bags.
So that’s why I found them deeply disappointing when I snaffled one from my child selection box last Christmas. So small as well. I mean, I know I’m bigger but they are smaller.
I have realised that I should probably do a taste test and buy all the cheap tea within a 10 minute walk of my house and rank them. For science.
For some reason I thought they substituted the red label for “Scottish Blend” up here, but it’s probably more likely I didn’t look hard enough!
Sometimes, at Christmas, I wistfully look at the big chocolate coins and pretend it’s the 70s again. When life was simplier, browner, and crispy pancake-ier.
I cant help but feel this is some sort of password reset question farming…
