Buongiorno! Three ways of making coffee as shown in photo! Automatic Bean to Cup ( DeLonghi), Pods - Krups Machine plus Nespresso pods or the traditional Italian method of stove top filtered brewing. Which is the best?
Having used all three this is my findings/opinion- the only way for best coffee is bean to cup method but rather than spending loads of money on way overly expensive coffee machines these are my tips for great coffee without the huge costs involved in doing so! 👇
I have invested in the stove method using a traditional Italian Biatelli stove top filtered coffee maker. If you have an induction hob on your electric cooker first check it is suitable for induction hobs and not just gas cookers or it won’t heat up.
You can either filter from already ground coffee or grind your own beans. Grinding your own beans is best and only do so just before you brew the coffee. Store coffee in a sealed container in the fridge to retain flavour and freshness!
To use the stove top cafetière measure out your beans first into the part on the cafetière and then grind them. I use a Krups electric grinder as the manual one is more difficult for disabled users but it also permits more precise settings (16) of grind for espresso/filtered use
This way you don’t overfill the cafetière or waste your coffee beans. Fill base with water to below screw threads. Brew it on the stove on a ‘medium heat’ that should last approx 4-5 minutes until you hear the heat pressure forcing it to the top as it produces less bitter coffee
If you prefer de-caffeinated coffee beans, use only beans that have the caffeine removed using the natural ‘Swiss Water Process’ method that avoids all the nasty chemicals used in removing caffeine in most decaffeinated coffee whilst retaining the full flavour of the coffee bean.
Lavazza the coffee bean and coffee machine makers produce their coffee beans using a similar natural method and can be obtained in Tescos supermarket. There are other suppliers online that provide decaf coffee beans in various sizes but shop around before buying.
Above all don’t pay over the knuckle for either the coffee beans or the coffee machines. As a quick price comparison I have spent approx £120 for the traditional method of coffee brewing that includes your stove cafetière, separate electric grinder and separate frothing machine.
You can reduce the cost if you don’t mind grinding your beans manually. That’s a lot cheaper than paying £400 -£1,000 for fancy coffee machines that don’t really justify the extra spend. That’s it tweeps and great coffee from the traditional method! Salute!

Having read how teachers across Ireland are increasingly teaching children with diverse backgrounds and planning their teaching around the children's own experiences including their culture and faith, it shows what a common misperception that exists regarding Catholic Schools.
Far from being sectarian, non-inclusive and traditional in their teaching, Catholic Schools in Northern Ireland for example have made huge advances in promoting diversity both in their admissions policies, planning and delivery of lessons.
In just one example of many Catholic Schools, a primary 7 teacher had 30 pupils with C of I, Presbyterian, Muslim, Quaker and Methodist faith backgrounds. So where does the word 'segregation' have any place in these schools?

More dog whistling by the MSM. Two-thirds of anti-vax propaganda online created by just 12 influencers, research finds news.sky.com/story/two-thir…
It is absolutely wrong to claim in the absence of clear evidence from a majority of antivaxxers that they tend to be more aggressive in forcing others not to take the vaccines. There is no survey in existence that can prove that and I defy anyone to prove it that claims otherwise
Secondly, it’s true there is a number of antivaxxers who are light on the facts or evidence regarding vaccines or plain away with the birds perhaps in their conspiracy theories.

Allegations of bullying of Tory MP's who criticise the PM's position including threats to defund their constituencies and shame them in the Press is another clear indication if true of just how nervous Johnson is getting with regard to the findings of the Sue Gray report.
In contrast we are educating school children on the wrongs of bullying yet we are now faced with allegations that Johnson and key supporters are bullying democratically elected Tory MP's to put aside their legitimate concerns about Johnson's right to remain Prime Minister.
Apparently Sky News is reporting that Sue Gray has found damning evidence that Johnson was aware of the nature of the garden party at No. 10 in the form of an email. If true then Johnson will not be sleeping tonight.

If Boris Johnson’s statement on the status of the Pandemic facing the U.K. is anything to go by then the public have been gravely misled as to the threat from Omicron as it appears it is just another, more complex mutated form of the flu family of viruses.
We are at the tail end not of a number of cases of the virus but of government fear mongering! Time to admit that the requirement for mandatory vaccination and Covid Passports are an abuse of human rights and no longer sustainable by the government.
If the vaccines do have a degree of protection from the worst case scenarios of ending in hospital then it is not that very different from severe forms of the flu which can equally affect the unvaccinated.

How many of those tweeps that thought it was a good idea to buy into a rigged electoral system set up by Johnson and the Tories actually wrote to their MP’s to oppose its introduction???
The old saying ‘if you can’t beat then join them’ or ‘If you lie down with dogs you catch fleas’ are as contradictory and full of BS as those who propose paying for voter ID’s as it doesn’t work that way. Voter ID cards are free in Northern Ireland. 🤣
However if there is a charge attached then it’s rigged and the know it all’s on Twitter won’t make a jot of a difference to the election outcome should they pay for 10 others to be eligible to vote. Any charge to vote in any democracy is totally corrupt and anti-democratic.
