"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.

    • If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.
    • But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
    • Oh, I didn't know that! I didn't move here till 1991 (I think) but the NCR incarnation must have been around that time? Unless my failing memory is even worse than I thought it was, sob.
    • I just googled, and apparently there's another branch of the Soho Street Govinda's  in Theobald's Road. I had no idea.
