it’s very sour and acidic. if you like sour flavours it’s worth finding some. it’s good in a simple salad of sliced onions with some salt, cumin and lemon juice. yum!

for people liking aubergines, this one is worth a try. i don’t bother doing the precooking in a grill pan, just slice them, drizzle olive oil and the spices and stick in the oven for half an hour. i also grind the walnuts pretty finely rather than chunking them. it’s a bit like imam biyaldi on steroids. https://www.olivemagazine.com/recipes/vegetarian/persian-aubergine-bake/

i remember reading this too, i think it might be buried away in the earlier pages of his blog: http://www.hasblog.co.uk it’s a bit sad to hear, i’ve had the IMM subscription going for years. recently i’ve wondered if the quality has been dropping a bit, to the point i ditched renewing the secret stash one this year. who knows, if it may be related to this news...

i have a few bialetti express in different sizes but the pot i use mostly is made by pezzetti (not the tall jug shaped ones, this one looks like a bialetti with a clear plastic section in the lid and the bottom part is circular with no ridges). it seems to work better for me than the bialetti. it’s easier to control, i think because the base is wider. i gradually start to slide it off the ring on my glass topped electric hob once the coffee starts coming through. works perfectly every time and never burns. the bialetti i often mess up with it and end up with it burning a bit a

hi, i'm new here. just recently started the in my mug subscription and found this site google searching for opinions about the nicaraguan coffee they sent out last week. i thought it was excellent, but it took me a couple of goes to work out the best way to brew it. i make my coffee in a moka pot or an aeropress, depending on where i am. seems to me moka pots are unfairly criticised at times, it can be a little bit hit or miss but when done just right it's probably my favourite way to brew. i never get an overextracted or bitter pot, unless i forget it's brewing and let it burn. the
