Some goodies from JollyBean. The Colombian ‘Ice Process’ is extremely fruity and a bit different to most fermented naturals I’ve had. Really loving it!

My Picopresso from Nanopresso. It met and indeed exceeded my expectations. It initially seemed complicated to assemble and use, but it was simpler than I thought. I quickly learned how to use it. It’s very well built. And with my first use, I poured as good (maybe even better) a shot of espresso that I did with my Lelit E. I’m looking forward to travelling with it, starting with my daughter’s wedding on Vancouver Island this coming week. 😄

My NanoFoamer from Subliminal. Tried it this AM, and it made good microfoam. Nice and portable for travel. Decently built.

Plastic Hario V60 for travel, along with the DripAssist. Nice and light, with not much heat loss.

Cuprajake

That’s simultaneously the coolest and most OTT coffee packaging I’ve ever seen. And I want it.

Where did you order from? Googling only turns up Selfridges and Harvey Nicks.

    Ordered the Honduran / Motor Oil / Ethiopian special one.

    JahLaza And are there any import duties/vat from the EU due to hmrc?

    Because of the value of the goods being less than £135, that’s up to the seller to sort out.

    One of the reasons some sellers in the EU won’t sell directly to you if you spend less than £135. E.g.: it’s now harder to buy coffee machine spares/parts from the EU if you are in the UK.

    Coffee is zero rated for VAT, so not a problem.

    Many roasters are using some really nice looking packaging nowadays.

    dfk41 Great selection! I loved the Candy Crush, coffee of the year (so far) for me!
