If you keep bees and are missing the herd, your bees are maybe caffeine addicted ;P
http://www.albanydailystar.com/science/bees-a...-daily-science-10832.html Our morning coffee is nowadays freshly ground Robusta/Arabica mix, the afternoon we use pads these days... whoever feels like a quick one. Today the last of the Vergnano 1882 'Pods' as they like to call them.  As they claim The 100% Arabica blend is a delicately-fragranced coffee, obtained through a selection of the finest varieties of Coffea Arabica. This coffee comes from a slow roasting process, giving it a light and pleasant aftertaste. |

"I'd love a coffee but first could we discuss how you intend to make it"
----------------------------------------I struggle to find good coffee whenever I am away from home Instant, Starbucks, Costa ? that is not coffee in my view. Thank goodness there are now a good selection of roasters here in UK so fresh roast coffee is a must. I tend to start trying a new bag about 7 days after the roast date then usually end up making most drinks between 14 days and a month, after that it looses most of its character. I have a lever at home and drink drip at work I own 4 different grinders now and heartily agree with the notion that your choice of grinder is at least as important as that of your machine Always trying different beans. This was suggested for me to try: Cuba Serrano Altura Superior - although not as dark it has a buttery caramel character, works as an espresso as it is not overly fruity or acidic. Looks to me like a good candidate for a flat white and for a ristretto? maybe these next: ETHIOPIAN YIRGACHEFFE G1 NATURAL GUTIT: Sweet sparkling acidity, blueberry, mango, lingering finish The yirgacheffes seem to be a good choice for pour over/drip  |

Thanks for the bee article. I knew about nicotine but don't think I'd noticed anything about caffeine. Isn't nature wonderful?! If by "pod" you mean what I think you mean, I can't say I'm a fan. I buy beans a kilo at a time, freeze most and keep a supply in the fridge. I use an electric grinder that will go easily from fine (which I use for a stove-top moka pot) to course (which I use with a cafetière). Either way I like my coffee straight and black. There's no great choice around where I live, but I tend to go for Guatemalan Elephant which I usually mix 50-50 with decaf beans to stop me getting hyper. I chose the Elephant through comparing beans by simply munching one of each variety available until I found what I liked. (The grinder sometimes doesn't feed very well because of their size, but it's not a great problem.) I have to say that all my friends complement me on my coffee, so I can't be the only one who likes it! |
