  • 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!

  • Also in the pic the scales are set to timer so I know to press when it hits the 2min mark.

  • Exactly this! Maybe not completely necessary in an aeropress vs something like a V60. Also used to weigh the beans before and after the grind to make sure it’s consistent :)

  • Can’t go too far wrong with the AP!

  • I completely agree, when the beans were super fresh it was a really unique taste that has become nicer (more muted) as the beans age a little.

  • I usually do go for the inverted method and do prefer it too!

  • I did try their decaf blend which was ok. Not as good as full fledged but a good option for me when I fancy an afternoon coffee.

  • I do rate them but you are right they are definitely more expensive than other options. I don’t mind so much when it’s a more out there type as they do seem to support the growers. They do have redbrick which is a decent espresso blend for around £13 a bag.

  • Totally with you! I still love my v60 but haven’t really nailed my moka pot technique.
