I will give it a whirl next time I see one. It's a Canadian chain just starting opening branches over here. They're my go to place in Bury for a coffee. Only £1.49 too. They specialise in the filter coffee over the espresso based latte type you get in Starbucks, Costa etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Zico Posted November 2, 2018 Moderators Share Posted November 2, 2018 was never into latte's, americanos etc and always considered it overpriced nonsense (even though I will happily pay £4-£5 for a can of craft ale and all that) then I had a flat white from some specialist place in Manchester, was lovely so now I like flat whites I find if I have any more coffee after one of them in the morning I feel like I'm having a panic attack all afternoon got a tassimo which knocks out nice coffee which works out at about 40p a cup, but tend not to bother with owt instant these days, can't go back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaydan Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Got one of these a couple of years ago - https://www.delonghi.com/en-gb/products/coffee/coffee-makers/automatic-coffee-makers/ecam-23460s-0132215315 Its been decent. I just like strong coffee with a little milk and it is excellent at that, but you can also do Lattes, Cappuccinos etc. Temperature is fine too. Wife drinks de-caf so I buy ground for that as there is a slot for pre-ground. I think its an old model now - I got it for around £300. Temperature is fine too. Also get my beans from these guys every month or so - https://www.pactcoffee.com/ Excellent coffee and easy to use - just skip an order for a week or two if you don't need any.

Pablo Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Pods are shite, but quick. Get an espresso machine. Bean to cup are very expensive, but just the standard espresso with steamer is good, £60 +. I have a Delonghi at home & some boss Italian one at my offcie.

Got a decent deLonghi machine at home under £100 warms up in seconds but they're only as good as the coffee you buy. I'm lucky there's a roasting room near me where you can buy their fresh roasted beans. At work a Cimbali or something which is the size of a jukebox and keeps breaking down but coffee is as good as any I've had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiled Girl Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 DeLonghi bean to cup with a removable milk container so it goes straight from fridge to machine & back again. The Nespresso is used for the travel mug in the morning when there's no time for faffing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leigh white Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Those little tiny cups of coffee in Toulouse this year, instant boost to your system. Drunk loads of ale afterwards, and could still taste coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
