Coffee (Espresso)

[Redboots]

I do like decent coffee and for years I have used a twin-walled mug with a press/filter in it.
It has never made particularly good coffee and often the dregs at the bottom leak into the coffee.
This thing:


I'm just about to buy a Wacaco espresso machine. It takes Nespresso type capsules.
Will make up to 60ml of coffee.
It does not heat the water, you have to add it.

WACACO Minipresso NS2 unless you have a better suggestion.
I don't want one of those stove top percolator things.

Check out. Aeropress... Marvelous things.

Does that use grounds or the 60mm round coffee "bags"?

Grounds

Check out Amazon for the great reviews ( five stars.)

Don't see why you couldn't use the bags if you wanted to although never done it myself

Any ground coffee you like or grind your own. I've had mine for years. Used every day, home or away.

uses ground coffee, but i have used bags as well

I only want it for travel. I have my lovely Jura for home use. I like sambuca on its own

The Aeropress looks interesting in that you could use the Senseo pads and thereby have a few different sorts with you as you could with the capsules.
I don't think I could be bothered with the pfaff of grounds when camping.

Take your pick-
one is 544 Grms and the other 16Grms
Grounds just flick out on both
Both make excellent coffee- choices choices...
Sparkplug will be along with his version shortly

I use one of these Wacaco Pipamoka, works well for me and I like the coffee it makes. You do need to use ground coffee and therefore get rid of the grounds afterwards but it is easy to use and to clean.

I’ve a zyliss cup too. Works fine when camping. Not perfect, but much better coffee compared to instant craps.

It is, but I want more

Can choose either

I have Lavazza Rosso individual 'bags' which stay fresh and easy to use

They both look like they stew the coffee, like the yanks do or one of those god-awful glass pots they brew the coffee into and leave until some poor sod gets the boiled dregs.

I still think the Senseo pads or the capsules is the way for me and you can buy them everywhere

Aeropress gounds come away as a 'block' of grounds, just shake/scrape off, job done. I use one, but can never decide whether it's better than my small stainless cafetiere, swings and roundabouts, sometimes take one, sometimes the other and sometimes a mokkapot, what fun

I’ve a Wacaco nanopresso and an aeropress. The aeropress makes the best coffee, on a par with a Baletti stove top. Probably not as good as good a high pressure espresso maker though. It’s also easy if you have pre-ground coffee and is easy enough to clean after, once it’s cooled down. The Nanopress is very convenient using Nespresso pods so no mess but the one I’ve got may well make 60ml but it’s never enough nor particularly strong. So I brew two each time. The coffee is only ever as good as the pods, which in my experience is very average on the whole. Surprisingly the best ones I’ve tried were Costa coffee branded ones from the Co-op.

If I had just one it would the aeropress.

I'm leaning to the Aeropress as it takes the Senseo pads. Even in the backwoods of France where I am, the local Super-U has 46 sorts!
I first used them in digs with Doc in Cochem and I really liked them. Cant remember what variety they were though

The Wacaco thing is CRAP.
I use an Aeropress Go

I have a small tupperware type tub with the grounds in, all you have to do is boil water...

"Look like" so...
You've never used either
Case closed.
