    Re: OMG! I just had THE best coffee

    I have to disagree with "Every time I walk into a coffee shop.... "Mmmm Coffee" " and "even a crappy little plunger coffee made with frozen ground crap is actually awesome".

    I agree with the rest.

      I usually have 1 or 2 cups a day at the roastery where I work. I make sure its a perfect extraction with perfect milk, otherwise I dont drink it. If youre going to limit your intake, the cups you do drink have to be awesome.

          Sounds inviting.
          Just curious about the Nutshack. I used to buy from there but I could never get them to grind it right and it either clogged my machine or was too course. Now Im looking at buying a grinder, I was wondering if they were worth another shot. Do they have a good reputation or not for nice beans?

            They are supplied by a major Melbourne roaster which produces quite good stuff. What happens to it when it gets to the nutshack is a totally different kettle o fish. Beans stored for who knows how long in clear perspex hoppers in a shop there to sell nuts as its primary business would be ringing some big alarm bells for me....

            Id reckon the chances of finding fresh coffee there would be about 0.1%....

              I agree, we all strive to improve our coffee making skills and equipment, but when I am out working and one of my clients offer me a coffee I aways say yes even if its instant, filter or espresso machine brewed, after all its still a coffee to be enjoyed (and an excuse to slack off for a while!!)...................

                yeah I wondered about that, they are stored in open air large containers and I have seen them pull out the giant bags from underneath so I figured the freshness may not be best. So where do you get good quality beans from if you arent in a CBD? Mail order? What about Gloria Jeans?

                  Ooh waa - you said a dirty word! Well, 2 actually. Next time you go into a GJs (make it the last time) take note of the only 2 things they have in the store that I covet - they will have 2 Ditting Grinders there.

                  If youre after roasted coffee then mail order is indeed your best bet - try the buy brown button on the left of the screen or one of the other sponsors, many of whom sell roasted coffee.
