Food & Dining Post your current coffee fix

So, I enjoy good coffee (and no nespresso, lavazza and vittoria do not fit into this category) and regularly hunt around for new beans from various roasters.

I am guessing there are others here into good coffee, so figured be a good place to share what we are currently grinding and pouring.

I will start with my long time favourite, the Jackson from Adore Coffee.

JACKSON - Aromatic, Caramel & Chocolate

 

In Brisbane:
www.dramanti.com (city)
Bear Bones Espresso (valley)

In Singapore (currentlyhaving an explosion of coffee drinking):
THE NEW BLACK

 

I don't have coffee machine to make coffee from beans
This is one of our current favorite place tho The Wooden Whisk

 

The coffee from coffee works in Mareeba QLD is my current favourite. I just order it online and they express post it with sample pack of different blend.

 

I get my beans from Forsyths and prepare it here and can get it here - @EN710 no need for an expensive machine, made the way millions of Europeans make it every day

 

I had this long time ago and can't seem to master it ... i burn all the coffee while my italian friend can just whip it and the coffee would be delicious

 

@EN710 - Very little to master.

If you have an electric stove you turn it off when the coffee starts coming up. With gas when it stops perculating/top is full. Otherwise it burns.

 

Anything with cream and caramel in it and chocolate on top.

OMG.

 

Hands down best coffee from a cafe is Little Cove Coffee at Noosa.
The Breville Dual Boiler makes a great coffee at home. We use Campos beans for our home brew.

 

Witham's Super Mocha is my favourite so far, always trying new ones but have always circled back to this. Stoked to nab the last bag from their Northside Produce Market stall Great rounded and slightly chocolatey taste.



Next one to try is Jasper's Blend #10 which I picked up at Prahran Market when I was down in Melb last last weekend. Haven't dialed in the grind just yet but first impressions are good, esp the depth of flavour - probably the best lingering aftertaste of all the beans I've tried.

 

I have the dual boiler at my Adelaide and Sydney office along with the smart grinder, great units!

 

Saw the BES980 "The Oracle" at Bing Lee, very impressive unit and glowing reviews on ProductReview.... not sure if it's too automatic for my tastes though (automatic grinding, tamping and steaming)

 

They had the dual boiler on sale without smart grinder a couple of months ago for $699. Well worth grabbing that next sale, its $1500 with grinder normally, $800 saving pays for a good second hand mini mazzer etc

 

Nice thread, one of my favourite subjects...

I feel bad, especially with my Italian background... I am still on nespresso pods, what can I say.. its convenient, no cleaning, does not come close to the real thing.

 

But it's sooo sofistic-hated.

 

Nespresso gives you convenience, consistency and speed. I had a CitiZ&milk and tried all the different flavours (even that stupidly expensive $3/capsule one, silver box can't remember name) but didn't really enjoy it that much.

Upgraded to a Lelit PL042EMI combi (built-in grinder) and haven't looked back. I don't like how slow it is for milk drinks (single boiler) and how noisy it is (vibratory pump) but the challenge is fun and I get to practise latte art Great taste from an unlimited selection of beans.

Gonna have to keep an eye on Bing Lee sales, thanks for the tip @DaveM.

 

Im pretty happy to drink anything from instant to nespresso to barista made expresso.

Large flat white, skim milk.

Does anyone else here roast their own beans? I have an iCoffee bean roaster which, silly name aside, produced excellent results for small batches, meaning I always had the most freshly-roasted beans on hand.



I'll stop photobombing this thread now.
