okay, they may not technically be a proper cappuccino, but they are much better cappuccinos than any of the the usual suspects offer(costa/starbucks etc...).

The pods are convenient and quick but I fancy a change.

Coffee - ah man, people go nuts about this don't they??? In a moment I am off to the local coffee & tea merchants - oldest one in Sheffield, Pollards on Ecclesall Rd. About a mile or so away from me.
I can feel a coffee and tea double header coming on........
Fundamentally I like simplicity. I've tried different travelling coffee maker ideas, but they always seemed more trouble than they were worth. In the end I carried ground coffee with me, put some in a mug, and poured hot water over it.
At home I use a cafetière, or a 3rd hand espresso machine which my son "inherited" years ago when he moved into a student flat.
Not to mention the bastard mess all over the place.
hey ho, onwards....
I'd recommend a trip to the UE Roastery and talking to one of the guys there about their recommendations for a decent espresso setup - they really know their stuff
I'll check them out.

Did you try is for cafetiere style? It won't do shots. Despite instructions to the contrary...
I felt the coffee that came out of it isn't that much superior to say an espresso machine, and I found a Chemex a much more elegant way to make coffee, easier to control and make a smoother coffee. People who I see loves aeropress generally come from instant coffee or moka pot so lots of crap or burnt coffee in the past (steam is way too hot to make coffee) so an aeropress is their first coffee gadget therefore going from instant to real coffee is a big step up, but for me, it is no match for an espresso machine and a Chemex I find can extract better flavours.
p.s. a cafeteria is okay, used to use that at work but the metal mesh means you get a lot of residue at the bottom. You get none in a Chemex or espresso machine.
Chemex is good, but takes practice, as does the moka pot (which only burns coffee if used incorrectly). Used properly a moka pot can make top quality coffee with very little in the way of bitterness.
Both are very caffeinated though...
My favourite coffee is espresso but i do genuinely love brewed methods. I enjoy pourover to drink but it's a pain in the arse. I cafetiere is too sludgy - aeropress gets me cafetiere style in a cleaner cup, which is great.
Siphons are good fun, but I never got any especially great coffee from it. I suspect there is a bit of practice involved with regards to grind and timing. But it does look super cool
Espresso is still a pain too. To be honest, that's a large part of why I like the aeropress so much - a clean cup of cafetiere style coffee with no mess and very little effort in a method that's quite forgiving - it'll never be the best coffee in the world, but it'll pretty much always be good.
Its like a physics convention!| All this talk of pressure, and temperature!
After all, tea is where it's at. Deep orange tea, red hot. Loose leaf obviously.....
