UKC

Last winter I shared a brew with some German lads at avimore hostel made in an old school percolator (not a mocha pot , a proper cowboy camp fire job) . I've just got hold of one of the percolators and fancy trying to get some of the coffee. However I wrote the brand down but have since lost the scrap of paper. As far as I know it wasn't anything particularly obscure just one of the better brands found in super markets. I have had a look on goggle but could see anything . Any ideas ?

Will have a look .

In reply to mike123:

Dallmyr, Tchibo, Jacobs, Melitta, Eduscho, Movenpick, Marcus...... there´s about a million brands over here.

In reply to jimtitt:

Thanks Jim, looking at pictures on the net I think it could be dallmyr . I should have said , it wasn't one of the big brands that have already made there way over to the UK, but then who would know that. Off to order some . Everyone needs a hobby .

Alpecin...?

In reply to captain paranoia:


I hear that one is particularly foamy.

In reply to peppermill:

If you make it with frothy milk it's an Alpecino

Do they grow coffee in Germany?

In reply to aln:

Latitude is far too high. But they're neighbours with two of the world's great coffee cultures, the Dutch and the Austrian.

Aldi's Ethiopian coffee came top in a recent Which tasting test..

In reply to malk:


Yep - as a consumer, I would go with that. But they were out of stock in Hazel Grove yesterday.

In reply to felt:

Ah those two other countries known for growing coffee.

In reply to captain paranoia:
It's big wide world, who am I to pass judgement on the strange habits and tastes of others . Don't you feel a bit rabid after drinking it.

In reply to malk:
very nice its is to. Made some with with an aero press while camping in Pembroke a few weeks ago . Top draw.
See, some people like looking at trains and writing the numbers down , does my opinion on how exciting that sounds matter to them ? I think not. I like coffee and coffee making and fiddling on . If some one makes me a coffee that I like then I like to be able to make it. Some people don't get it , hey ho.

In reply to mike123:

you'll be getting a hand grinder next?

In reply to malk: can't really justify another

In reply to aln:


other countries with a taste for coffee who recognise quality..

In reply to malk:


Who grow coffee..

In reply to aln:
yes, coffee is grown in other countries but what gets into your pot?
eg the UK 'makes' barely edible bread but we accept it because we value quantity over quality..

In reply to aln:

One with its South East Asian colonies, the other with the Ottoman route.
