Labsrule Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) Hello, Im going to order my first filter ground coffee maker. Not one of those mega expensive espresso ones, just 1 with a glass jug. Im going for a morphy richards one, the reviews on amazon are brilliant. Why do you prefer a coffee maker to standard water & kettle with granual coffee, does it really make a difference with taste? What ground coffee is your favourite? Which model do you have? My wife has decided to change our kitchen theme and we now have to have shiny red gadgets apparently. She just came home today with a toaster which looks like a retro radio Anyway just wanted your opinion on the difference between what im used to with a kettle and jar of nescafe and buying a coffee maker.

I1L2T3 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 It's nicer. Loads of different filter coffees to try out. Missus has got a cafetiere and it's alright. Tea is far better that coffee though, even from teabags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cressida Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I always drink tea at home although I have a coffee maker and a cafetiere, when I'm out I have a latte - I like frothy coffee and I could never manage that with the coffee maker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we had a kettle that looks like a radio - but it went bang when I filled it with water :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handypandy Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Why do you prefer a coffee maker to standard water & kettle with granual coffee, does it really make a difference with taste? What ground coffee is your favourite? Comparing instant to ground, is like comparing a pot noodle to a Sunday roast. Coffee makers are ok, but I think it is a lot less faffing around to use a cafetiere. Also, I don't like coffee that has been kept warm in a coffee maker:gag: I have to have my two large mugs before I set out in the morning, so the second mug from the cafetiere is zapped in the microwave...... much better than one that has been stewed on a hotplate. Which brand is down to personal taste. I'm no coffee snob, so I have found that Asda's own brand medium roast suits me or Lyons original which is similar. A good tip to keep the ground coffee fresh, is to keep it in the fridge or the freezer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Wallace* Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Please dont keep your coffee in the fridge or freezer its an old idea that doesnt really help your expensive coffee. http://www.specialty-coffee-advisor.com/coffee-storage.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
