Another nice beer!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Good to see you Sunjester!

Good beer too! 🍺

[toxicpixie]

Are you on a meet and greet tour

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

No, a delivering painted lead tour!

[toxicpixie]

Most people use the post office for deliveries, not the pub

Not that I disapprove, mind!

[sunjester]

The pub is so more civilised!

It was good to catch up and thanks again for the painting.

[toxicpixie]

Darn right. Closest I've got to that is making Sandinista a coffee in collection

[Sandinista]

A very nice coffee it was as well

cheers

Our espresso machine is in the repair shop. No small hardship, though I can get by for a few days on Turkish if I must.

[Sandinista]

I used to prefer Lebanese

Cheers

[FierceKitty]

OK, tell us. How do they brew it there?

I think our kettle has just decided it doesn't want to play properly anymore.....Don't imagine that'll be worth repairing.

I've drunk Turkish coffee in a Turkish restaurant, Lebanese coffee in a Lebanese restaurant and Syrian Coffee in a Syrian cafe. They were all good and all tasted pretty much the same.

Stove top in a pan, just like everyone else! But just differently enough that saying "that's just like *insert other ethnicity here*" will get you anything from a glare to thrown out the restaurant...

I do like my coffee done that way, but I just don't have time. And the other half would probably kill me for the all pervading coffee flavoured house!

Instant only, time and conveinace

[toxicpixie]

Bleee.

Try a V60, gives lovely coffee that tastes of actual coffee

Have you tried the Areopress? http://www.aeropress.co.uk/

As quick as instant, easy to clean up and makes very good coffee. I've had one for about 18 months now and very impressed. It's my go-to when I can't be bothered/haven't time to switch on the espresso machine or boil a pan on the stove.

I think my approach to coffee is the same as my approach to wargaming, I have an electric espresso machine, an Italian stove-top espresso pot, 2 different sizes of Turkish stove-top pots and 2 different sizes of cafetieres and the areopress!

[Ithoriel]

I have a Tassimo, a cafetiere and a jar of instant of which only the instant gets used regularly.

Mate of mine has an Aeropress, reckons it's superb. Too expensive for my tastes, I have a steel filter with a mesh insert (a V60 with a built in filter so you don't have to use paper ones). Brews a cracking cup in @2-3 mins!

Over the years I've had various filter machines, several cafetieres, paper filters, at least a couple of stove top espresso jobs. But simplicity and speed wins with the current one, as it produces (no-espresso) coffee as good or better than any of the others and a lot quicker and easier

I can't take drip or squash filter stuff any more - love in a canoe coffee.
