Oh how it takes me back...
Many years ago, I enjoyed what i then described as my perfect coffee, in a little coffee shop on glenferrie rd in malvern. It was brewed in a vacpot, something I had never heard of before, and up until recently had never considered getting for home.
However, due to the fact that i am moving considerably further from my workplace, so my commute is going to be a lot longer, and I will also be trying to save money, I am going to be foregoing my usual morning purchase of coffee and starting to make my own most mornings.
To this end, I have taken the plunge, and purchased a sunbeam em0480 grinder and a bodum santos vacpot. I have just brewed my first pot of coffee, using the same blend of beans as i had in that shop many years ago. The taste potential was there, but i suspect i need to work on my technique a fair bit to get it just right.
I initially had the grinder setting at about 20. I think i will move it up to about 16 for the next attempt.
If anyone can give me some good vacpot suggestions, i am all ears.
Will report back on how im going with it soon.
Mmmmmm nostalgia just aint what it used to be.
