Percolated coffee

The portable gas stove is so much more convenient compared with the electric one.

I set the KRUPS grinder to mid way on grind selection, but will experiment with coarser settings for a longer brew.
The result of this first brew just confirmed that NOTHING beats percolated coffee, something I only drank in the '50s-80s.
Why I stopped I have no idea - DUH
Vacuum brewer now on holiday for the duration.
Roasted beans from TheTeaJunction, Norwich

Geoff - What a pleasure downing percolated coffee once again.

Might as well drink NOTHING then

Nothing is the cheapest alternative.

try grumpy mule coffee lovely selections.

or taylors of harrogate.

Taste even better with a dash of rum in it !

I mostly use a filter machine, but really a grinder, kettle, jug, strainer and mug is all you need. I like East African coffee beans, mostly - though I've lately found Lidl's Java/Sumatra tasty and good value.

Coffee Enjoy your thread while it lasts before a moderator appears and rightly deletes it. This is the TEA ROOM not the Coffee Shop.

But you don't normally go to a "coffee shop" for coffee.

Although the roasting machine looks like an invention of Heath Robinson!

My old boy loved it but eventually had to give it up because it affects your ticker (if you make it strong enough)

My childhood remembers those "glug glug glug plip plip plip" days well

Must get there some day soon, I have heard similar reports from others who have visited the place.

Genuinely confused? They may all be called 'bars' these days but when I were a young un' they were coffee shops...

I bet you're one of those posh people who calls red sauce ketchup.

Just for clarity, it won't take anyone long to discover that in Wales we have proper coffee shops.

More tea, vicar?

Neil

I must be getting old! It. When I was a lad and you asked for a cup of coffee, that's what you got. It doesn't seem long ago that I asked for a cup of coffee and was asked whether I meant espresso, latte, cappuccino, mocha, americano, and several more I can't remember - and this by a lad who looked about 12. But I'm determined to learn, because modern coffee is miles better than the grey sludge served up in my home town in the 1960s.

Yes Neil here in Wales we have proper Italian coffee shops. Lol

Brian

I think coffee bars were from the 50s and 60s eg 2Is, caffs were frequented by ton up kids or bypass Cowboys

Mike

I think you mean my dad

Neil

Yes a bit before your time Neil and mine really

Mike

Tastes even better with a shot of Ameretto in it!
