Howmanheyman 26739 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 and gigs. still can't imagine life before them. having a portable pc ont he go 24/7 is something we totally take for granted now Who remembers adult life before mobile phones? Much handier to find someone on a night out or meet up but no escaping the missus whilst out or at work. Glass half full or empty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 26739 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 access to unlimited porn in your pocket 24/7 must swing it in the half full favour. You can counter that argument by the unnecessary stress you could have if you forgot to take your phone somewhere and it was 'home alone' with the Wife. I work with this young'un (29) who's settled down with new baby, girlfriend etc and it was hilarious seeing the cold sweat/fear on his face when he left his at home one night.

Bibble 0 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Firstly can anybody recommend a good grinder? Then after that some good beans to grind. I've been using a handed-down "Spong No 2" burr grinder for years; comes out dandy. It's hand cranked, so it takes about 5 mins to noisily grind 4 scoopfuls, but it's been part of my Saturday morning ritual for years now and there's nowt better than freshly ground coffee. More generally the consensus seems to be that burr grinders are better at the job and produce a tastier result than the whizzy electric ones with blades that work like food blenders and effectively chop the beans up Pumphreys in the Grainger Market do Mocha Matarri, which is our regular strong weekend coffee and makes a cappucino with a kick Other decent Pumphreys blends are Daterra Bruzzi and Old Brown Java. We usually get them pre-ground for weekday/work use. Just to complete the coffee snobbery, in my experience nowt beats my aeropress http://www.aeropresscoffee.co.uk/ for making proper coffee for one or two people in about 25 seconds from the kettle boiling.

Tooj 17 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Anybody on here tried any of the Ouseburn Coffee Companies' blends? They are meant to be really nice if a little expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
