Coffee lovers rejoice

Dougwe · Chief one feather

I checked that out Ian and looks a good little gismo.
Now don't laugh but I don't drink coffee but love the smell of fresh brewing coffee. When I had home base I had one of those coffee perculator jugs that sat on a 240v base and brewed away and would set it going just for the smell.

Good for you Iana but like Doug I dont drink coffee either , but un like Doug I cant stand the smell of the stuff, I dislike walking through those big shopping centers cos ya always have to walk past one of those blasted coffee shops, Id rather smell the north end of a south bound camel than coffee ,,,,,, well maybe not quite , but you get my drift .

Yes I am laughing, but will admit, we buy our coffee and its sent to us in foil bags, when we fill the grinder resovoir, we both inhale from the bags to get a hit from the smell. Yes so its a WACACO Nanopress.

I find Nescafe the easiest and simplest to make if I want a coffee. Gee I must be a Ludite.............!

[ I understand that whilst we love our coffee beans, Australians are largest consumers/users of instant coffee in the world]

sorry mate you do need to boil the water.i should have said i was just trying to get away from power 240v

Dougwe · Chief one feather

Curiosity got the better of me so checked uTube and saw how it works. It was only using pre bolied hot water so fine for the black coffee drinker and can only guess that you put milk in at same time for white coffee. I also noticed you drink from the unit as well. So an all in one unit.

Hi dougwe yes after you make the coffee (so to speak) you just unscrew the top and add milk and sugar or ????

I am sure i saw that you can also use it to brew tea if you wish

Hi Doug,

One if my daughters makes coffee candles.

Maybe something along this style might suit you.

So why would you not use an Italian style percolator at a quarter of the price?

You can make a coffee in a couple of minutes from start to drinking with an Italian style percolator. Also a French press [plunger] can do so in even less time.

I've an all stainless steel plunger that I sourced from Aldi [when they have their specials, and probably elsewhere as well] at $9.95 and it make a great "bean" coffee!

There are plenty of options to making quick coffee when on the road that do the same job at a much cheaper price than some of the "new fangled gizzmo's" priced to separate you from your hard earned!!

My "hot rodded" and "miniaturised " Boema commercial espresso machine I am building to go into our Fifth Wheeler to replace the LaPavoni Lever machine.

More work needed to finish it off but nearly there. Hot Rod Boema 2018 .jpg Espresso - Remote Start_2014_04_02_9_2.JPG

It is only a waste of time contributing to this forum, if you let any naysayers get to you, Ian

I for one, found this post informative, so thanks for that, as I learned something new, the day that I read it

Unfortunately I do not usually drink coffee
To the best of my knowledge I have never had an expresso type coffee

For those (like me) who did not know what a nanopresso coffee machine was

The video below explains it
Note that the video is 12 minutes long

Same with me Iana and Paul, always looking for better, interesting ways to get a very nice cup of brewed coffee. We own a top quality Italian coffee machine inherited from our son when he went overseas to live. We find it really hard to buy a cup of coffee when we are out as ours is always consistently good, so any better way to brew coffee when we are in the caravan is followed with interest specifically not using 240volt power.

Thank you.

Going slightly off topic, we have been to New Caledonia and then Sydney visiting Eril's rellies we and some very ordinary coffee.

Some of the pod machines make a reasonable tasting coffee BUT for us cappachino/latte drinkers the stretching of the milk with their milk "frother" lets it down. Thinking of trying to find or make a milk stretcher. Trouble is I have 20 projects partly finished. biggrin Beginning with Pajero starter. furious

I'm sorry that you were offended by my remarks, The weren't meant to do so.

I, like you, were only wanting to point out that there are many options to making making bean coffee, not just more recent products.

The "traditional" methods that I mentioned have been tested over time, been proven to work, are cheap due to their mass production, robust, easily sourced/replaced, and are simple to use.

That sounds like something I would do!! Can't drink the stuff (palpitations) but Oh! the smell.... Last time we were in the States, we stayed with friends who lived downwind of a Starbucks roasting facility. Heaven!

I have been using an AeroPress for a few years now. Very simple to use, very light, only a few pieces, easy to clean. Take it with me wherever I go. Coffee is put in the tube with paper filter at bottom sitting on cup, pour in water, insert plunger, push down and there you have it. Fresh pressure pressed coffee.

Italian coffer percolator and ground coffee. Did you know that those little pods being churned out by the billions, last forever? Its not just plastic bags and straws that are a problem.
