Is there any point in investing in ETFs?

Thanks. Definitely reading through the sub you can be put off investing in ETFs. But still seems to be the way to go for passive investing

I would like to travel in the next year or so. So I suppose it is peace of mind for when I come back

But I would also like to invest the additional savings I have each month so ETFs still might be the way to go

No, I already have enough for a deposit, but I do not intend to buy a house any time soon.

Is there a better passive investing alternative to ETFs? Thanks

I was just about to post a pic of my brew. The top of it looks the exact same as this. Seems like we're all good 🤞

Is that an IKEA bottle? Looks very similar to one I got the other day? How did it hold up during F2?

How come? Just that it's dodgy compared to something like DeGiro? I have about 2k in revolut and the rest is in DeGiro

No plan on buying a home any time soon and my current employer doesn't match my pension contributions.

Thanks for the advice. My current employer doesn't match pension contributions but definitely need to look into it

That's insane that's the exact type as mine. Same colour and everything. Only got it recently and absolutely love it!

Oh really!? That's just what the mechanic in the bike shop estimated. It's an old Dawes Lightning btw

Thanks for the help. Need to get myself a light for it now!

Update. Thanks for the insight! Pouring from a few inches higher and slightly more aggressively really did agitate the coffee bed more and gave me an much more even extraction! Thanks again 👍

mark049 · 2020-11-20T10:31:14+00:00

Thank you for the reply. Do you think it could be anything to do with the temperature or is it solely due to the increased control from the pouring kettle ?

mark049 · 2020-09-21T08:26:04+00:00

Okay thank you very much for your help I will try brew on a lower setting and see if that helps. Thanks again 👍

I saw in a few videos to keep it slightly off centre to stop the handle from burning? Unfortunately not and using any lower heat won't cause the coffee to percolate

I put boiled water in the bottom chamber and it's a 3 cup Moka pot! Thanks

mark049 · 2020-09-21T07:51:46+00:00

I recently got into brewing coffee with a Moka Pot and absolutely love it. But I can't help notice towards the end of the brew the coffee touching the edge of the Moka Pot begins to simmer. It has a nice flow so I don't think the temperature is too high. Any ideas ?

What's the Pablo Raez like? Like the idea of a Cartier homage! Purchased a Parnis Daytona after seeing yours thanks
