Almost ready to go, although annoyingly my tamper hasn't arrived yet so I can't yet test it properly
We have one of those, but I didn't get on well with it. Never had a decent coffee from it. My Mrs loves it, but she only drinks lattes.I have a dolce gusto auto pod machine

Somebody has already done it (here if anyone's interested)Set up a thread on water chemistry once you've got it figured....
On the subject of coffee, I would wholeheartedly recommend Redber Coffee who roast to order.

Thanks for the recommendation, I just ordered a new bag this morning but I'll check them out next time
Love my aeropress coffee. I have had 2 Nespresso machines in the past Nespresso's own coffee consistent, don't plan to get another one though.You can get really nice coffee by using an aeropress for about £25 and is doodle to clean and very portable.
It's going well, thanks for asking. I had a medium roast bean that I was struggling to get right, but it was getting there as the bag was finished. Still a tad sour but not necessarily unpleasantly so, but I couldn't go any finer without choking the machine, and it got a little thin when pulling a longer shot. Anyway I've just swapped to a darker roast, Rave's espresso blend, and I'm finding it much easier to get a good shot with.How is the coffee making going? Finally dialled in for a perfect espresso? Can we expect a 'show us your latte art' section soon?
Just got a Hario slim plus grinder from Ebay for £18.54, so hopefully better and fresher that pre ground Lavazza rosso.Love my aeropress coffee. I have had 2 Nespresso machines in the past Nespresso's own coffee consistent, don't plan to get another one though.
As I understand it sourness comes from under-extraction of the coffee, often due to the grounds being too coarse, the water being too cool, or not drawing enough water through. Some of the trendy lightly roasted beans are more fruity and acidic which some people like, but I think it's an acquired taste.Steve..why is the coffee "sour"?
I’ve had one for around 15 years it’s still going strong !We have one of those, but I didn't get on well with it. Never had a decent coffee from it. My Mrs loves it, but she only drinks lattes.
