or you could buy a cadburys flake, squash it with a rolling pin & put it in a tub for later use.

Hey guys,
Very new to making my own coffee and just looking for a few tips. Got a krups grinder as a gift with some beans so looking for the best way to brew these in a cafetiere. (Will be getting an aeropress next week).
Currently i am blending until course/fine - No setting on grinder but its about 6/7 seconds
7g Beans
125ml Water.
Brew for 4 mins.
This was just something random i found on the net but its a very small amount.
Any recipes for just a 1 cup'er would be great?

Thanks, i was crushing milkybars but they floated to the bottom even in flake form, hence why I need something more powder like.

some good guides here: http://www.handloom.co.uk/blog/videos-5-different-cafetiere-recipes/ which may help

Damn it! I don't need it but I very much want it. At $480 however, I should be able to resist. It's only a little more effort to use my Chemex, and I need a new espresso machine first.

Hmm not quite apple - the inner support is bearing really nasty design! And visible screws too!

Cafetieres are not that great tbh. Wait for the aeropress or go moka pot buy one anyway they are cheap and produce the best strong coffee outside espresso.

Looking to move away from instant coffee and get something like an aero press. I typically drink 3 cups a day while working from home so would like something fairly quick and easy to use. Would this shopping basket be a good start?
1. Aero press http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000GXZ2GS/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AQGOIN44QS1J4
2. Krups Twin Blade http://www.amazon.co.uk/Krups-Twin-Blade-Coffee-Mill/dp/B00004SPEU/ref=pd_rhf_dp_p_img_3
3. some coffee bean recommendations.

Aeropress yes - blade grinder, not so much. I don't use an aeropress so I can't comment on whether or not you can get away with a blade grinder for the coffee. Perhaps you can as it doesn't need to be as well ground as espresso. Hopefully someone else will comment.
Coffee bean-wise you're spoilt for choice really. I pretty much just use Has Bean but there are plenty of other good roasters. For HB stuff I tend to look at the cupping notes and just chose ones that match what I think I might like - fruity, chocolatey, etc.

I would personally get a Chemex over an aeropress, both needs a paper filter anyway but the Chemex makes a better brew for me, or should I say, less to go wrong, easy to make a great cup of coffee.

I think for the Aeropress you require close to an esspresso grind. Is this achievable at home without spending a lot?
Soldato
Yes, the porlex (hand grinder) works well with the Aeropress.
which cups?
