  2. Earl Grey seems to me have an oily aftertaste, no idea why people drink it willingly.
    I buy CO-OP own brand taste ok to me, wouldn't knowingly drink Yorkshire and I boycott any tea room serving it.

  4. I didn't want to buy a new machine after we moved, so my wife got me Wacaco's nanopresso for my birthday. I think it's originally targeted for travel use. You put ground coffee or capsules with adapter on one end, pour hot water in the container on the other end and then pump the machine to create pressure to get coffee. I use it on the weekends when I want better coffee than the daily instant coffee...

  10. We use one of these

    with Ground Hammer, HR4K or Ueshima beans and when we're away camping etc then the Aeropress definitely comes with us. It's an absolute game changer.

  11. Hm. I can be swayed by a nice tin.
     
  12. Moka pot on the gas hob. keep trying different ground coffees. Occasionally buy beans by mistake and then have to grind!
     
  13. Red Label is the only one I've bought for years now.

    I used to like lapsang souchong, but found it was just as satisfying drinking a cup of Lifeboat tea while sucking a charred stick.
