Cuban Coffee

Does coffee last that long? I thought it had a relatively short shelf life.

2-3 months after roasting apparently though I suspect most stays on the shelf longer than that so maybe after being opened.

Ok so maybe years is an exaggeration. I didn't keep a record but certainly had it longer than a few months, wasn't drunk daily.

[MENTION=13408081]smokey joe[/MENTION] we picked up a Magimix 'Le Duo' espresso & filter machine on eBay a few years ago for about ?50. Makes a decent espresso - not coffee shop barista standard but paired with a burr grinder its perfect for everyday domestic use.

Very nice! I got given a nespresso as a wedding gift. It resides at the back of a cupboard these days. Fact is we don't have loads of space, spare is filled with baby paraphernalia now!

Nespresso is great for a little man space. But like you, i lost my space to the kids.

The DR coffee I got is nicer, to my taste, than the Cuban. Delicious.

Gone and got myself an ibrik and tried making Turkish coffee for the 1st time had some on holiday there years ago & remember really enjoying it. I think I need to practise a bit more because I let it boil over.

Nice. I had Greek coffee a few years ago on a trip to skiathos. Think they're similar. The Cuban cortadito looks nice but I like my coffee without too much sweetness so could be too much
