@shadow745, thanks, that's looks cool, will check that out!;)

Thanks to a Scottish peruser, I've now got the pdf manual!:) here it is for dl:

not as far as I know...still the kettle job, and the tip is to put the water in a little hotter, and way you go! I'm tempted to buy one as it's so portable and easy to clean!

There's a lot of advice out there about how to make coffee, and not all of it is good! We've decided to make available some basic guides that don't require you to have a degree in jargon, or to have an hour spare to read how to make a cup of coffee. Just plain, jargon-free guides on making...

that's an intriquing subject you've rasied, and certainly one to educate oneself on...it's the first I've heard of acrylamides fyi, Resveratrol is turning out to be so good for us that red wine may end up on the superfood list. It is found in the skin of red or purple grapes, and in peanut...

Hi Has anyone tried the new Handpresso Domepod ? I'm impressed by the 16 bar pressure hand pump action with no batteries/electric required; at least you can use ground coffee with it instead of pods, so that's good! Technical Details The world's first eco-friendly...

yes! Very few know of this detail, but it does make alot of difference to the taste!

Often overlooked, but a very important fact is to not KILL the flavour of your grinds with boiling HOT water! Instead, let your water cool off first; if boiled, to an acceptable 80c then pour over your - use a cooking thermometer to gauge! You'll find your coffee more flavoursome if you...

OK, thanks for the info; I've just ordered an AeroPress, so we'll see if it really is a good value device...will report back soon! :)

Thanks, Tracy! Nice writeup indeed! What number would be suitable for grinding, please?

Hi everyone I'd be grateful if some kind soul could help me out by locating a User Manual (not available from Nespresso HQ due to age!) for my Magimix Nespresso M300 ? I bought it second hand, but didn't come with a manual, and it does have digital programmes! Thanks, in anticipation! :)

for a truly great coffee taste in an instant, a Nespresso machine is what you want, and so easy to maintain without the washing up and emptying!

All brands that are connected to the Nespresso brand are the same spec, and all at similar prices...but they can have extra features which will push the price up somewhat, but you won't go wrong in buying one, as I've had mine for years, and it truly is a lovely cuppa compared to coffee shops...

generally, it's only one in the morning...one cup with 3 shots of expresso, but very occassionaly, if I'm out, I might take another cup if I feel tempted, but I do stick to just one a day, and then it's tea!

interesting data, Alun, thanks! ;)
