Coffee

[tommy_tucka]

Gents,

Looking to try a coffee and a cigar for the first time as I keep seeing and reading about how well they can go together.

So I'm just after any advice on flavours or blends to try.

Cheers

Hobos go particularly nice with coffee I find as did the H Upmann No 2 I had the other week. Tommy had a Hoyo Grand Epicure this morning that left him craving a coffee and a Daim bar

Capsule system or filter? You've got to spend some money for decent coffee even if its only a cafetiere

Coffee

Peejay is right. How will you make the coffee? Cafeti?re, filter, espresso, stove-top?

I have a nespresso machine. But was thinking along the lines of beans that I grind up

I favour the Dulsao de Brasil and the Vivalto Lungo in my Nespresso and Columbian or Cuban in my filter machine.

Yea the cafeti?re way. I've seen a couple of things online but I tend to come here for my info over going online

And in the summer I make cold brew coffee but that's a whole new topic.

Start with a pack of ground and a press. PJ likes a cold press over 12 hours without boiling the water in Sumer months I believe

No press SJ, just sits in the filter and soaks

I've got an Igenix which grinds its own beans

If you're going to start grinding and haven't yet bought a grinder, then go for a burr grinder over a blade grinder. Burrs give you a much more uniform grind which will make better coffee.

You could try Hasbean.co.uk as a place to start for coffee beans. Worth emailing them and asking for recommendations - they're very knowledgable people and always happy to help.
