Dont like it scalding hot but i always use a warmed up cup and use a thermometer for my milk, never ever weigh the coffee. I object to having to chuck it back in one due to a cold cup and maybe busy waiting staff
La Mar Dolca in Pollensa my favourite flat white, perfect temperature 1.5 euro award winning barista
never ever weigh the coffee
You'll never get any consistency if you don't weigh. It's a bit like being a baker and just chucking in random amounts of flour because it 'looks about right'.

I measure by volume never short measures, would you notice 15g either way by taste?

Yes! Even if that's a typo and you meant 1.5g, there's quite a difference in extraction between a 15g input and a 16.5g one at the same grind level.

OK - this lot has just come in from Gardelli:
Bynekere Estate, sugarcane ferm. lot (India) 250g
Holiday Coffee, San Ignacio (Peru) 250g
La Candelilla (Costa Rica) 250g
Tolu Batak, Sumatra (Indonesia) 250g
Banko Gotiti (Ethiopia) 250g

Further details are on Gardelli's site (it's much more expensive on there, though). I can do any those apart from the Nensebo for £10 a bag. the Nensebo is £11. Shipping is £2.50.
All coffees are rated at 87.75 and above (specialty coffee starts at 80 points).
