Burr goodness?

Yeah, for £40 you can't really fault it.

I'm tempted. The frother is gone, so I need something to fill my days with.

Filling it with coffee isn't a bad idea. Probably about the best thing about being forced to work from home is not having to spend £3 on a cup of coffee every morning.

Also an excuse to show off during virtual coffee breaks.

You'll be buying an electric grinder soon, I have a Hario mini and it's a lot of work. I bought a DeLonghi KG79 after a few weeks.

I think you’re right.

My DeLonghi ESAM 4200.S has a burr grinder built in. Press a button and and makes a very nice coffee. It has been going strong for coming up to 6 years without any issues (touch wood), very good investment so far. Makes a min of 3 cups every day. Highly recommend if you have room for it.

and upgraded my hipster level 5 with some coffee kit. Trying out pour over. First cup tastes pretty good with the San Fermin.

Check out James Hoffmann's guide on the V60 if you haven't already - it's comprehensive and very informative.

Fish for bbq

Can't find any charcoal so currently chopping up logs and the boy is splitting kindling with a machete

@Maccapacca Have you tried looking for bags of charcoal at petrol stations?

Yeah all out :mad:

One last chance today a farm we've ordered some bits from usually has local charcoal but its lolexpensive

Can't beat a wood fire anyway! I've got a pizza oven and I always start it off as a fire with wood before using it as a BBQ.

Some more Lego that happened to end up in my backpack, with a card game that looked fun.

I've got one. My dad's got one. My gf's just ordered one. I can't remember how long I've had mine but it must be at least a couple of years and I use it just about daily.
