Terrible night last night. Went down with fever about 6pm, in bed by 8pm - no tea. No other symptoms apart being knackered.
No Games/TV/Food.

Tiddles, sorry to hear. Hope you are feeling better.
Does anyone grind their own coffee?

Coffee chat!
Yes. A Delonghi electric grinder. Had it ten years.
When you need to sharpen blades use dry rice and blitz it. Then give a good wipe.

In all seriousness, sorry to hear that, hope you feel better soon.
Games - no
Tv - no
Films - no
Comics - Two volumes of The Walking Dead, getting closer and closer to Negan appearing.

Coffee chat,
I looked into this and apparently a manual grinder + beans stored in the freezer is the way to go. Manual grinders are apparently better (and cheaper) as the have burrs.
what a world we live in.

Not entirely sure what the beans in the freezer does though, and surely runs a bit of risk of them getting damp? |

Coffee 'rig' sounds better. |

Hi. Games - no! Telly - no! Ottm - no! scamanderCoffee grinder chat. We have got a Sage one. It is very good. If you live in a high-bandwith household like I do, with a PS4, *two* telephones, 4 bins and a machine that makes espresso, a hand grinder will not do the job as the coffee will not be fine enough for the machine. I have fallen into this trap in my younger days. MrTiddlesI hope you make a swift recovery. Perhaps the virus will transform you into a superhero like it did with Pyjakson, aka The Turnip King. |

I should go back to Skyrim. It was a simpler time. |

I should go back to Skyrim. It was a simpler time. Different levels of grind for different things. Fine for espresso machines, a bit coarser for cafetieres and filters. Somewhere in between for stovetop pots. It’s a brave new world. |

I just lump in a load of Nescafe granules and pour in the hot water followed by milk. It's not that I don't like fancy coffee, but I am a busy guy.

Rough for coldbrew and I believe aeropress. My aeropress is languishing in work and so haven't used since I got the grinder out the cupboard at start of lockdown.
Games. No.
TV. Last episode of Upload. Would recommend if you have Prime or you steal TV. I do both. No judgement here. Much.
OTTM. Tomorrow is the last day of the school term. Lots more entertaining the child coming up. Send help. Watched her batter her third boss in Mario Odyssey yesterday.

seems like there's a whole social site dedicated to coffee lovers. I'm setting up a profile.
I take it 'power bottom' is only for electrical grinders. I'm 100% manual (will stick that on my bio).

All this coffee nonsense! You get all these coffee people, don’t you? Coffee this, coffee that. Let’s have a bit of lathe, let’s have a bit of flat-white. Ooh, that’s a snazzy bouquet. Oh, this smells of, I don’t know, basil. Sometimes you just want to say, sod all this coffee, just give me a pint of… mineral water.
