"Pour over"! hahaha.... "caffeine fiends everywhere have the Japanese to thank for this method of coffee making magic"... what a load of tripe! It never ceases to amaze me how people are able to constantly reinvent and re-badge something as simple as coffee.


It is really no different to filter/drip coffee. Only real difference is the quality of the coffee... freshly ground, and maybe even freshly roasted will of course make your coffee taste much better. Anything other than that is just hipster nonsense.

I made ?pour over? with a sock whilst on holiday in Italy


I?d taken some very good (?23 a kilo) Monmouth coffee with me and neglecting to pack my Aero Press I was somewhat stumped.


I did have a pair of new fresh Muji trainer socks with me, so took an empty water bottle, cut the top off, inverted the top to make a drixpper cone and lined it neatly with the sock.

It made a fine ?pour over? and a surprisingly bright & well filtered one at that.


Next series I ?ll be going into the Dragons Den to offer 1% of my ?SocKoffee? brand for a million quid.

    • Not sure what you mean by "involved with firework enjoyment"? I'm all for others enjoying themselves, and I like fireworks, but if they were limited to public displays then people could still enjoy them? Having said that, I see that tickets for the London New Year fireworks start at £20 (Dawson's Heights it is,  then!) The fireworks in Brockwell Park used to be free. I don't know why those don't happen any more?
    • Really interesting discussion here. It's difficult to respect the views of people who support Farage, Trump, Musk etc. Why should we, when their views are deplorable. But then that exact 'deplorable' label, as we know, is counterproductive and drives people to double down / switch off to more progressive views. How do you actually help change minds? We're currently spiralling into dark places culturally and politically imo. The amount of open racism, even amongst front line politicians here and in the US is astounding to me. Feels like we're going backwards. The influence of social media and the tech billionaires / bros, is a powerful and largely malignant one. There was an enlightening (and frightening) bit of journalism by Sky this week about Musk's influence on British politics. He has a strange obsession with the UK and London in particular (as do many on the US right wing): https://news.sky.com/story/the-x-effect-how-elon-musk-is-boosting-the-british-right-13464487
    • Looking for any tickets to the Dulwich Hamlets game against St Albans today!
    • I'm going to Paris with friends, staying in the 3rd arrondissement. I used to go a lot but that was ages ago so wondered if anyone has any 'insider tips'? We are interested in small art galleries, independent shops, good value cafes and restaurants that may not feature in all the many online articles or guides, thanks!
