First Venture Into Freshly Brewed Coffee

marathonic

I've just placed the following order with hasbean.co.uk:

Aerobie AeroPress Coffee & Espresso Maker £22.00 GBP
Aeropress Filters 2 * £4.00 GBP £8.00 GBP
Filter Starter Pack £17.50 GBP
Porlex Ceramic Burr Coffee Grinder £30.00 GBP

Items: £77.50 GBP

Shipping: £8.00 GBP

Total Cost: £85.50 GBP


It's a lot more than I'd ever have expected to pay for just coffee (considering I've been paying a few euro for a jar of instant up until now) but here's hoping I'll never look back

Best of luck with that. Let us know how you're getting on or if you need any help. It's a slippery slope for you now...

Yeah, judging by some of the posts here, I could end up catching 'the bug' and spending 100's... lol

On a side note, that hasbean website seems very efficient. I placed the order at 3.22, it updated to 'Awaiting Shipping' status a couple of minutes later and to 'Shipped' at 3.50.

I was considering the Hario Skerton grinder but opted for the Porlex one instead. Judging by the reviews I've read, either should do the job fine.

Coffee is the alpha and the omega, it's never 'just coffee'

Good luck with all your new kit, love the aeropress.

Delivery just arrived so I'll get a crack at it this evening....
