Isn't it more to do with the 'grittines' of the granules?

You bet! And delicious they are. Boiled with some rubbed cerium, and lightly toasted praseodymium (related slugs of the same family) they literally explode in your mouth. Do not oversalt.

Are these the special rare earth slugs I have heard so much about? :wink: :D

That's actually quite a clever solution, although I also noticed a link on the page to

Coffee Chemistry Training Seminar 1/2nd December 2011 it's a bit pricey but might interest someone.

Personally I have five french presses on the go, by the time I have used number 5, the water in number one has evaporated leaving dry grounds which are easy to tip out into a bin.[/img][/url]

I can bring this thread back to life with some confidence.

What I do with the coffee grounds is simple, my sink is one of those with a little sink in the middle. Just the right size to park a medium sized economy-plastic sieve onto a corner.

The grounds or pucks go in there then are transferred to the compost heap.

What about a knock-box, I bought a knock-box when I bought my Sylvia. I sold the Sylvia because I don't care for espresso but the knock-box has become a standard on our kitchen worktop for T-bags and the occasional puck from a Moka pot.

Get a nice stylish knock-box from Happy-Donkey. This one is fantastic and quality.
