Anyone use a V60?

It's what we use for most of our coffee making at home as they're just so convenient. We've got an Aeropress and a proper espresso machine (A Francis Francis X1 - about 20 years old now) but V60 (or pourovers in general) are great for easy morning coffee. I'm going to buy a proper Chemex next, mainly because they look so nice.

a nice instant nescafe , 1 sugar and milk, fucking lovely, i hate all the bitter shite you get in shops, no , nescafe is the way to go, instant and lovely

Nescafe Original is just a small step up from Mellow Birds...

F*cking VILE stuff. Purely a functional caffeine delivery system, and a pretty agricultural one at that.

Hahaha Mellow Birds...do they even still sell that stuff? I've never tried it but I can still remember the 90s advert jingle from when I was a kid.

Me and mrs Marsbarres are into our coffee. There's a great Manchester roasters called Mancoco we get a lot of our beans from: https://mancoco.co.uk

Another vote for Mancoco. we're friends with the owner and cant recommend them enough, You can order the beans from the site or they do the rounds of the artisan markets as well. not sure if the cafe side survived lockdown but if it has they have a cafe bit next to the roastary in the rail arches near deansgate.

I think most supermarkets still stock it. I'm pretty sure it's just the sweepings from the car park outside the Kenco factory.

After years of coffee poncery we just bought a coffee machine that froths well and makes decentish coffee. We put any old coffee bean in and the coffee is perfect.

I've worked in the coffee industry for over 6 years, I run a sales team selling commercial coffee machines to cafes, restaurants and offices.

Not really had much experience of people using the Sage Precision Brewer to be honest with you, I tend to find that if people are looking at spending more than about £50 on something domestic coffee related they tend to go for a home espresso machine or bean to cup machine.

In our office we have both espresso and bean to cup machines, at home I just have a cafetiere, used to have a Moka Pot til I broke the arm. Morrisons do a brilliant "Winter Blend" ground coffee I'd really recommend.

Hate to be "that guy" but if you're looking at something like an aeropress, my director designed a product called The Oomph (he was on Dragons Den with it and got funding) which is going through the process of it's 2nd gen being manufactured -

I'm out.
