Coffee machine off generator? (1 Viewer)

[EdwardFT]

perhaps I am being overly sensitive. This is what I meant, together with your post asking if this thread was a joke.

BTW what happened to those posts?

Looks like I am over-reacting to posts that have already gone. Moderator, you would do us all a favour and offend nobody, least of all me, if you deleted that latest post of mine (and this one too for consistency of course)

Edward, obviously it’s not Espresso, but have you tried much pour-over coffee.
I’m a coffee lover and that’s what I now drink in the van.

I have tried it all! Again on a multi-day hike, I took a collapsible filter holder and a supply of filters. It's good but to me it is one step below a cafetière, two steps below a Moka pot, and three steps below espresso. And we all know that there are three steps to heaven

Backpacking and hut to hut in the Pyrenees a couple of years ago, we fell in for a day with an Israeli couple (only travelling together due to an internet advert), and at just under 3000m the lad set up a stove and made coffee with ground beans. I'm no coffee expert, but it tasted great at that altitude
On the summit the girl got undressed and changed into a long skirt and blouse and posed for photographs!!

A memorable coffee.

Wow, I didn't realise how lucky I was not liking coffee, and how much better off I must be

Well Edward I'm with you on the coffee front and its hard to beat a good espresso. I also like a good cup of tea and can compare the excellence of an espresso made from freshly ground beans to the taste of a real cup of tea made from proper tea leaves. Tea made from a tea bag and coffee from instant granules are ok when there is nothing else but it can't beat the real deal.
A bit off topic but when I was young and worked as a labourer in the Dundee docks one of my jobs was to make tea for the gang in the bothy (no-one drank coffee!). We all had tate and lyle syrup tins with wire handles and the insides were brown with tannin. I made the tea in a big black kettle with a mixture of tea bags and loose tea which came straight off the ships from India. To say it came out strong is an understatement - and no milk.
But I'm 'posh' now and love a good espresso. Still like my tea strong though!

There's no better way to arouse early morning emotions on a campsite, than to have the aroma of bacon frying, intermingled with fresh ground coffee being brewed, all set to the dulcit tone of a generator chugging away !

Reminds me of me as a young lad in a factory in Lanarkshire, when I made the tea all the men to,d me that I made better tea than anyone else. It was only later that I realised that was so that I would always have to make it.

I'm sure you were asked to go for a long stand at the stores as well but now we're getting really off topic

I think if I had £1k to spend on a genie, I think instead I'd be going for in order:
More batteries
More solar
B2B

I have 4x 110A batteries, 400W of solar and a B2B and find that I dont run out of power even though we use the blown air heating, have a tassimo coffee machine and use the TV etc...
