There's where your going wrong mate. Try Lavazza Rossa.( dons helmet for howls of derision from coffee cognosenti) Morrisons sell it, you want the red and silver pack.

Monkeys Fist 38822 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Lavazzo is a good strong blend. Used in lots of restaurants. You can use it in filters, esspresso percolators and cafetieres. If your using it in filter, don't be shy with it- for a full pot I put about 9 or 10 hefty spoons in.

Buy the beans and grind at home. makes amassive differance. Go for Costa rican, Nicaraguan and Java beans. I like to drop a dash of nutmeg into the grinder. Experiment.

Monkeys Fist 38822 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 In one of those strange coincidences, after my post about Lavazza earlier, I went into the front room and Rick Stein was on the tv visiting a farm which produces the ' Civet Shite' coffe beans.

Monkeys Fist 38822 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 My brother brought back me a one of those hexagonal, stove-top esspresso percolators from Italy nearly 10 years ago.

Monkeys Fist 38822 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 You can get em over here. They are relatively cheap too. The one I use every day makes 2cups. I bought a 6 cup version a couple of years back from Fenwicks ( I think) for under £20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it take filter coffee or beans, will it make 1 cup and how do you clean it out etc ? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bialetti-Moka-Expr...r/dp/B0000AN3QI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38822 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Comes in various sizes. Takes ground coffee. Unscrews at the waist, water goes in the bottom, coffee in a holder on top of that, then on the stove. Steam percolates up thru the coffee and collects in the top section. Cleans in the sink, so The Washing Up Fairy tells me. They are the canines testes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I like about the filter machine is that you can chuck the used coffee into the bin so it doesn't block the sink up. I might get one of these after also reading the reviews I would prefer to use filter coffee though if it cleans easily.
