First World problems

[zoidberg]

Is the 'What's Best' coffee maker now superceding the endless squabbles about 'Which Anchor'...?

 

[Bouba]

It’s entirely different...anchor makes you stop...coffee makes you go

 

[Refueler]

Personally I think relevant as I am considering Coffee Maker for my boat !!

Can't decide whether it should be G60 or G80 spec ... been tested by Fred Bloggs or by FlyByNight Co.

Sage. It is the rocna of coffee machines. I have two.

 

[Refueler]

I was going to get a full 240v compact machine - but the gap under the side locker in galley area is not high enough. But the manual jobbie on another thread looks just the job ...

 

[Bouba]

I have one of these at home and on the boat


But I have had stick about it before (notably from vas who insist it’s not a real coffee machine )

 

[Refueler]

That's similar to what I wanted to put on the boat .. but its too tall and I don't want to be moving it about to use.

We had a Senseo, but it became almost impossible to find the coffee bags in the UK, so we gave it to Madame's brother.

No mains on board, so we have this

Very much a first world problem. Coffee is overrated as is the means of making it, in my opinion.

 

[Stemar]

Each to his own. I'm no fan of tea but, while I wouldn't say I couldn't live without it, I do enjoy a good cup of coffee (none of that instant muck, thank you very much)

 

[Bouba]

The wife prefers to use coffee filters and a funnel

I prefer the instant muck to the over-priced brown sludge in coffee shops.

I'm an utter luddite when it comes to coffee. I buy that 'americano' instant stuff. Be it Azera or Asda / Lidl own. My 'extravogence' is I bought a 25 quid milk frother / foamer and that I love. Though now I need my own cow as crew due to the quantity of milk I'm getting through. I get the feeling I'm not helping the coffee machine buying dilemma much

(and yep, I actually prefer the taste of it to any of the coffee shops.... I shall now walk my own plank, so to speak)

Since we got the microwave, the wife has removed her frother from the boat....not quite sure how it all equates because I have my coffee black...as nature intended

"Ah likes ma coffee like ah likes ma wimmin - strong, black an' sweet!"

 

[Sianna]

we have one of these on the boat, it's great, you pay a bit more for the pods but it's small, and makes decent coffee

Black?? Yowzers!! Surely Coffee needs a bucket of milk and a couple of sugars so it tastes like hot chocolate?

I've gone the opposite direction. I was using the onboard microwave but now use the frother!! I even bought a friend one (with a similar boat). We've become frother converts

 

[Bouba]

Just having lunch

 

[Bouba]

Of course the subject is coffee

Here is a better view of our locale…hope the weather is good wherever you are
