GA Russell Posted August 4 Report Posted August 4 Does anyone have an opinion on Mount Hagan instant coffee? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N9TYGVS/ Quote
John L Posted August 4 Report Posted August 4 This has been my favorite lately. It is a little pricey ($23 a pound) but delicious. Quote

Very good indeed, nevertheless no way justifying the high price .... competition in this quality segemnt is strong and we are beneficiaries 👍 .... Quote
clifford_thornton Posted August 19 Report Posted August 19 I use a stainless steel big ol' French press and am never going back. Quote
Joe Posted August 19 Report Posted August 19 I'm the sole coffee drinker in my household and make only one cup at a time. The Clever Brewer is my jam. Caveat: you'll need a good digital scale and a gooseneck kettle to achieve optimal results. But both of those things are multitaskers. https://cleverbrewing.coffee/collections/clever-manual-brewers/products/clever-dripper Quote

Been to Italy on vacation these holidays and there's one of these in every Italian accomodation. YOu put water in the bottom, coffee in an iron filter and the pressure pushes the hot water trough the coffee. Can't get much purer than that. I was sold instantly and ordered one directly when I was back in the Netherlands. So now I get these: Grind them and make myself some delicious Italian coffee. The downside is of course that making a cup takes some time plus attention (the making process have some points of attention) and you'll get like 3 cups maximum but the taste is amazing (and the whole process pretty fun).

Dmitry Posted September 12 Report Posted September 12 A heretic question: what decaf coffee do you recommend? I would use it in the Bialetti. We really don't need that nice coffee/espresso maker; just for the two of us the Bialetti does well. We also take it camping. Those light to medium roast Lavazza beans that we brew in the Bialetti are just too powerful for me: I get jumpy and freak out. Would like to try a decaf that tastes like coffee. It's not as much about the energy for me, as for the experience and taste. Quote
mhatta Posted September 12 Report Posted September 12 I like UCC's Oishii Caffeineless Coffee, but I think it would be difficult to buy abroad... Quote
mjazzg Posted September 12 Report Posted September 12 (edited) I've been drinking decaf only, for health reasons, for nearly twenty years and it's proven really hit and miss, mostly miss but has improved a lot recently. In the last few years as the coffee culture has really taken off here I've found some very nice decaf from the smaller roasteries, these are likely not exporting - Pilgrim, Mission, U Roast. I can't believe there aren't similar small independent outfits doing the same near you. The way I found each of these was asking when I was served a good take away or drink in decaf which beans were used. Before this my staple was Lavazza decaf Also, I'd say it's not heresy. There can be a bit of snobbery about decaf definitely but my experience has always been that in coffee drinking cultures in Europe decaf is more or less readily available and often more than half decent. Thankfully that's now increasingly reflected in the UK market too Edited September 12 by mjazzg Quote
Dmitry Posted September 12 Report Posted September 12 Just ordered this Lavazza Dek Filtro, medium roast. The Amazon bots love it. Quote
Dmitry Posted December 7 Report Posted December 7 A follow-up: Lavazza decaf was very good, yet not always available locally, so I replaced it with the ol’ Bustelo decaf. Surprisingly fragrant, Suits me well on early mornings, and doesn’t make me jumpy. Quote
mjazzg Posted December 7 Report Posted December 7 I'm pleased to hear Lavazza worked for you. I had a great decaff at one of my favourite shops this morning, U Roast coffee beans Quote
