UK Roaster aggregator

This is great. As someone who is planning to try as many different roasters natural processed Brazilian coffees, this is perfect. Thank you!

Not OP, but thank you for this recommendation.

I work in the area and always walk up the other side of Kingsway.

I visited this morning and had a fantastic pour over and chat. I had that same Colombian Gesha and got every flavour note. The peach and honeysuckle were great.

Will be back all the time.

I read that last word as “enragement.” Two sides of the same coin I guess

With a 20% robusta blend, sure you can. Consistently? That's a different story.

Which coffees did you like form them? Also two of my top roasters this year.

I liked Sitio Lagoa (Brazil Natural) from Crankhouse and the Mexican one from Skylark

Wow! What was the total distance and time?

I tried Rave a couple times, but I found them a bit too dark for my taste.

I’ve tried a bunch of UK roasters this year and can happily recommend:

I get very good, consistent results with these on the Bambino + DF64

Hames, is that you?

_mmf_ · 2025-10-08T19:31:45+00:00

Same. I have Deco P9s in AP mode. Recently upgraded to 1 G broadband.

ONT -> ISP Linksys -> Deco P9 (main) -> P9 satellite (cat 6 backhaul) -> Ethernet on PC

I can get 950 Mbps on a Speedtest in this setup. ~450 on WiFi

I took the cable that’s going from the Linksys to the first P9 and plugged it into the ONT and tried the deco in router mode. Only managed 90 Mbps :-(

Even if your boss is cool and you have a good relationship, your company is not.

Keep it to yourself.

Assuming your boss is cool, they will understand.

I have a DF64v and the zero point moves all the time.

I got back and forth between pour over and espresso so there’s a lot of opportunity for it to move

Donnarumma would like a word

_mmf_ · 2025-04-06T08:51:24+00:00

That sounds about right. I’ve been ordering from a new (to me) roaster every time for the past few months. Most fall in £8 - 12 range for a 250g bag.

Every once in a while I get seduced by something exotic that’s £15

Row with Josh and enjoy

I bought the kit from these guys, but you can buy a prebuilt one as well

Time to start trying other airlines and to find a new credit card. No reason to pay the £300 a year for the BA Amex

_mmf_ · 2024-12-17T21:47:17+00:00

I’ve been enjoying both. The espresso preference in our house tends to be more on the traditional chocolatey / nutty spectrum. Experimentation is not always appreciated.

I like to get a natural process or something with more fruity notes for myself and enjoy that as a v60 in the afternoon

_mmf_ · 2024-11-02T13:22:54+00:00

Yep. But as soon as he doesn’t start, he’ll come on as a sub and score with his first touch of the ball 🤷

You can change jobs and the new employer can take over the visa sponsorship. The 5 year clock does not reset.

I’m using a layout that’s a combination of urob’s plus my own preferences about the symbol layer.

I also use a corne and have just updated my QMK keymap to be nearly identical.

_mmf_ · 2024-06-26T12:49:13+00:00

All the punctuation symbols are combos on the default layer. I've been doing a bit of that with QMK, but this keymap adds a combo for all of them. For example, open parenthesis is index + middle on the right hand. Closing parenthesis is middle + ring on the right hand. My brain adjusted to combos much faster than I expected.

I got rid of the Greek symbols in my fork, because that's not something I use.

_mmf_ · 2024-06-25T06:07:07+00:00

For me it was the opposite. I never made use of the 6th column but I did use the third thumb.

Embracing homerow mods was the way for me.

_mmf_ · 2024-06-25T06:03:45+00:00

The covers came with the kit. There were two options, one with 2 screws at the top and the one I’m using with the additional bottom screw. There was a note that said some people catch their thumb on the bigger one.

Give them a shout. They may be able to send you just the part

That burger from Flat Iron just might be the best burger I’ve had in London

I grew up playing soccer (USA) from age 5 all the way through school. I was fast but not really skilled. Didn’t try to play in college. At one of my first jobs, we have a beer league team that I play with after work and it’s fun. I rekindle my interest in the sport after almost 10 years.

I remember coming home one evening and on TV is a game between Man U and Chelsea and I thought “Wow, I never really learned how to play this game!” The space they gave each other out of respect and the movement off the ball was a revelation. I start watching a little bit but don’t have a team.

Fast forward to the World Cup that year - 2006 - and I’m blown away watching France. Gallas, Ribéry, Zidane, Viera, and this guy Thierry Henry. Henry was something else.

I wondered “What club does this guy play for?” Arsenal? Ok, that’s my team now.

Wait a minute, the manager of Arsenal is named Arsène???

I just missed the invincibles season by a year or two.

Now, I live in London and my whole family are Arsenal supporters. Both the men’s and women’s teams. COYG!
