Caffeine break

I was wondering about that yesterday when I read John's post, whether tapering would work to minimize withdrawal symptoms. And 30 days! That's far longer than I would have imagined it would take for one's brain chemistry to return to a non-caffeine affected state. The only one? Either you're very picky or I'm easy to please. I doubt it's

Looking for Liberica

Just want to share that while that may be the case for Len's stock, Liberica can very much be suitable for light roasts. I was lucky to get my hands on a small sample roasted by A Matter of Concrete, vacuum packed in tiny little bags. I think they were only able to source a few kgs at most

Fellow Aiden anyone?

If you want a brewer with the flexibility and features offered by Aiden, and you have need/want for a machine this fall instead of, say, a couple years from now, then why not? Fellow has a good track record

Breville Dual Boiler Manual Descaling

ACS waiting times

Not sure if that makes me feel better or worse - I ordered in November of last year... Hope you enjoy it though, a couple of months is long enough!

Bambino Plus - loading coffee

Decent Espresso news
