£30-£40 for me. Currently working my way through local roaster recommendations from another thread but it’s taking a while because I order in 1kg packs.

Usually go for two americanos per day with a double shot in each one.

I’m hopeful but cautious.

For me the big issue with Starfield was the obsession with massive maps/worlds etc that were either empty or filled with junk. The travel system and loading screens also made the game as a whole completely disjointed.

The only reason I’m hopeful is the continuous map as opposed to content being spread way too thin on thousands of planets. If they get the content more dense then hopefully it’ll be at least half decent.

I’m totally with you on Bethesda / Microsoft trying to get the most money out of the least effort and that’s my biggest reason I’m not getting hyped for it. The goal for them is currently the most cash rather than making the best game possible. Annoyingly this has infected pretty much all big game studios these days. Ironically, that approach is better for the short term but horrendous for the long term outlook.

I’ll be sticking to the golden rule though: NO PREORDERS!

Used a Rancillio Silvia for a shot this morning but not quite dialled in yet, got about 30g in 30 secs but even still was quite a sweet brew. I was recommended the roaster from another thread on here and I’m slowly working my way through. Haven’t had a bad roaster yet really! I’m trying to aim for slightly darker side of medium and It’s hitting that nice middle ground petty well so far!

Not sure if they do international shipping (I’m in the UK) but it’s probably better going local any way. Here’s the website if you want to check them out: https://www.podda-wren.co.uk/

There is such a great message about scientific method and using critical thinking skills in the modern day.

Pretty interesting read

Nope.

I’m so sick of click bait.

Does it come pre-installed on any phones? Might be a reason the downloads are inflated.

There’s some great suggestions here already but to add a couple more: Union coffee & Edgcumbes. Had great beans from both!

Risk of Rain 2 for me. I’ve “finished” the final boss but there’s so much more to unlock and do in that game that I’m not sure I’ll ever be done with it. Absolute blast to play with friends especially when you get those miracle runs where you get all the items that are amazing for your respective classes!

Time for a second play through!

Not a huge fan of infused coffee personally but can see the appeal. I’ve tried a few “natural” beans recently that basically have the cherries on in the drying process leading to some really cool flavours without adding anything.

One of the ones I tried was this Colombian from Casa Espresso which was insanely lemon-y. Almost to the point of being too sickly sweet!

Replying to this with my thoughts as I go through and try them!

I’ve given the Maraba a few brews in the v60 and to me it makes a lovely cup! I did make an error while ordering this one - I ordered filter pre-ground by accident! The good news is is a perfect grind for my v60 but there’s definitely more taste to be had if I’d ordered whole beans like the other ones!

Will do!

I’ve gone for:

Maraba (Rwanda): Link Timana (Columbia): Link Decaf maraba (Rwanda): Link Decaf (blend): Link

Can’t wait for Hoffmann to do a video on this monstrosity!

I’m pet sure this will be my next gear purchase. I do have a v60 but made the mistake of getting the ceramic version which saps heat way more then a plastic version.

How does it brew compared to a normal v60?

Same here, no sense wasting good beans so may as well blend when you don’t have enough for a full brew.

It was between £10-£12 per 250g bag which for the UK isn’t the worst I’ve seen but still petty pricy. I still think that’s fairly reasonable for single origin responsibly sourced coffee. I’ll use 22g per cup so it’s roughly £1 per cup.

Next time I’m going to give Limini coffee a go, they’re another local roaster to me but their single origin 250g bags start at about £7.50.

The most I’ve spent is around £22 for 250g for some square mile Kenyan stuff which was fun for a one off but definitely not an every day kind of coffee!

I usually have a couple Asda ES columbian bags on hand and they’re 2x250g for £5.50. Definitely not amazing coffee by any stretch but I can’t splash out all the time 😂

I do too! As a bonus they’re paper with no plastic so really easy to recycle!
