LolCold Brew.
It a hipster thing.
No, you're supposed to drink it cold.(then you heat it?)
They were all too lightly roasted for my taste, but its not a bad way to try different beans.

ROFLMAO Very good, didn't even cross my mindYou NEED to get a sticker made up to replace the L with a J...
I did indeed this morning Let the journey begin on finding the nicest coffee bean. I really like the Illy Ethiopia but even more so when I increase the strength.Similar to mine..have you sent off for the freebie taster pack of coffees and also the descaler?
Just received an early Christmas present from my gorgeous wife as I ran out of *&^&^%^%^% (won't use a swearword in this thread ). Just have my 2nd cup whilst writing this from a De'Longhi bean to cup machine. Hmmm smells so lovely.
Made with Illy Monoarabica Ethiopia - at first a little strange as it has a fruity element to it, but actually really nice coffee.
And well deservedLucky boy!
Spoiled rotten, you.
Not sure why that is,,the milk wand on mine produces a lovely frothy jug of milk.I fill it just under halfway and place nozzle in about half inch under the surface.Had to experiment to start but after a while you will get the feel for it.Any tips from anyone on getting nice frothy milk for a cappuccino. I only seem to manage to increase the volume by watering it down and ending up with a lukewarm latte.

I was being a total numpty. I was using the steam wand in hot water, i.e. Non steam, modeAre you preheating the steam wand?

I now know how to switch to steam and i must admit it wasn't too bad need more practise but at least it wasn't watery milk. It looked and tasted like a cappuccino. I'm sure that with a bit more practise I can get this really nice.
I might even look more at that video and attempt latte art
Nespresso was good, I found it hard to ensure I had the pods in the house. I also found it hard to find the taste that I liked. But no argument that they aren't convenient. I had it with Nespresso, I had it with Tassimo, I just hate the waste these machines leave behind. For me it was the main motivator to switch, throwing away so much rubbish, not just the pods, but also the packaging. It is just ridiculous, and I'm ashamed I've done that for years.I've been a little bewildered by the multitude of choices in the "pod" based systems, looking to pick one up to stick in my home office.
Not really much of a cappuccino or latte drinker so my reading suggests that the Nespresso system would be better for me but would appreciate any pointers!
Thanks for the tip, can't wait. Got to say for my first one this will be pretty promising. Mrs de Jong is going out to get some skinny milk as she is liking the variations I can make with this.Start with a fern.
Pretty easy, and I guarantee you'll have a grin on your face when you nail the first one.
