COOP Coffee

If the wine is Swiss, you need to pay more than 20 CHF if you want something nice. For French or New Zealand I agree.

22
You can buy plenty of good wines for less than 20 francs. The problem with coffee is not price, it's chemistry.

23
You mean particularly here in Switzerland?

I will pop into Bonafede tomorrow - anyone want anything from the shop

The 24min roasted Napoli (75/25) is an excellent morning coffee, with the 22min roasted Ethiopian (100) a pleasant afternoon coffee.

I also picked up the Guatamalen and the Sicilian - but they aren't opened yet.

If you are in the area they are well worth a visit - whether to buy beans or just a coffee.

It depends on the size of the bottle though. If 20 Fr. is your minimum per litre price then my recommendation fits your bill... just!

Fr 8.60 - but it is a small bottle: 37.5 cl. Price has remain unchanged for at least 5 years.

.... anyway.. back to the coffee

I've just started drinking it again after a year of abstinence (don't ask)

Is that Aeropress thingy worth it (the effort, not the cost) ?

It was a gift from the best mod on EF in the world ever and to be honest I was a little skeptical of it to begin with. Then our coffee bill at work started to inflate (my Italian colleague and I) and it seemed a good time to start using it in earnest.

We make strong coffees in it and to make for 2 cups requires 2 scoops of coffee and then some serious pressure to force the water through - especially if the coffee is too fine. We have found that a "moka" grind is ideal.

The resulting coffee lacks a crema but does do the coffee justice and with high quality coffee works out at around 25-30rpn per cup.

Filters come in packs of 350.

The downsides - you need to tap off the grounds and rinse it after each use; if you want to drink from an espresso cup you'll need to press into a (warmed) jug and then pour into a (warmed) cup - both of which require some additional effort. And finally you do look a bit "special" brewing your own coffee!!

The aeropress came out well in the "Independants" hand coffee press test - and I'd highly recommend one to anyone after an easy to use coffee making kit.

Bear in mind that a negative aeropress makes covfefe.
