Thanks for the pod tips! will give that a go.
Do yourself a favour, ditch the nespresso milk frother and get a Breville 'The Choc & Cino' Milk Frother. It can do 2 lots of milk at once and its dishwasher friendly.
I've 'burnt' out too many of the nespresso ones over the years, this one is stainless.

Thanks for the Tip, I'll be sure to let Toby know about this frother as well. It's 2021, we don't have time for no burnt frothers haha. 🙌🏽 Keep enjoying ❤️☕️-Adrian

I don't have time to make lots of small coffees during the day so a large mug is better for me. Wondering why you didn't introduce the double-shot pod as a solution?

Great question! For almost all of our intensities, we recommend using our short shot: this gets all those elusive oils and all the goodness out of your pod - this includes the Double Shot. Our Double Shot pod isn't about it having more coffee in it ( in order to double the amount of coffee, we’d literally need to double the pod ) Our Double Shot features double the amount of caffeine (versus) coffee. If you have a large mug - give our specific Long Shot pods a whirl - they have been designed for a bigger cup - ☕Nicole

Hi Toby,
I have just read your tips on how to achieve the best coffee. Being a very fussy coffee drinker (no one else makes my coffee) i found that what you have said is quite similar to how i make mine except the bit about frothing the milk was very interesting as i also found with the coiled whisker there is way too much froth! and yes using the standard one does the job just fine. One little hint that i use as i like my coffee very hot is before hand i fill the cup with boiling water and let it sit for a couple of minutes. I will give you a bit of a plug here Toby, my sister and i where talking coffee at Christmas and i was saying how disappointed i have been with the pods i have been using for some time, so much so i very rarely used my machine, she immediately made me a coffee with one of your pods and Bingo! Whow!
they are awesome! I havn't looked back since. Love your pods to death and also your presentations. May i ask a question? I recently purchased some Waffle Cups but was quite disappointed with the result, very soggy and fell apart, now i am confident that i have done something wrong here, can you tell me what? On parting keep up the good work and posts, i really am loving them!

Nicole jumping in for Toby here! Thank you so much for your lovely message - we are thrilled to hear that you’ve found a way to perfect your coffee-making process, and I love your tip about pre-heating the cup with boiling water. It’s such a simple step, but it makes a huge difference when you like your coffee piping hot!
I’m so glad your sister introduced you to our pods, and I couldn’t be happier that you’re loving them as much as we love making them!

As for the Waffle Cups, we made a helpful video with some tips here: https://www.urbanbrew.co/bl...

I've just dropped you an email to follow up and help out a little further ❤️

Thanks again for your message and for being part of the Urban Brew Crew!

Thanks for the tips. Personally I heat my milk in the microwave intead of frothing..that way you get the heat without the froth. Just my preference.
P.s. love the pods 👏 🙌 👌

🙌🙌 Glad to hear you found this helpful. - Camille ❤☕

I'm interested in the advice to use a long shot pod if you have your coffee in a mug coz one pod is obvs too weak but because my mug is on the small side 2 pods can be a bit too strong. (Before I was given this mug 2 pods were perfect for my bigger mug!) I don't like the idea of using the long shot button though for the reasons Toby mentions. So now trying to decide if I should try a long shot pod or 2 weaker strength pods...🤷❓

One tip I've found to help clean the bottom of the mikl frother you are using is to put a small amount of water in it and let it sit. That loosens the milk caught on the bottom and makes it far easier to clean by wiping with a soft cloth.

Great move there Ian, love your work. Definitely is best to clean with a soft cloth when able to do so. ❤☕-Adrian

Hi.

At work, I use a Nespresso machine but don't have access to milk, so we normally have more of an espresso-style coffee. Any tips for a better coffee without the milk?

Hi Adam! Great question! For a long/short black we recommend the #8 or the #6 intensity. For a long black, we recommend using the short shot only (1 or 2 pods) and top up with hot water from the kettle. Here's a blog post you might find helpful on preparing a long back https://www.urbanbrew.co/bl... .I hope this helps! :) - Renee

Hi,

I have a Delonghi Nespresso machine with inbuilt milk frother. It makes perfect milk froth and is much easier to clean than my old separate milk frother. Worth a try for anyone looking to simpify the process.

Oooh, nice one Heather! Thanks for your tip : ) - Brenda

Thank you for the milk frother tip. I will try this next time I make my coffee. I don't usually use the milk frother because it makes a lot a fronth and just a little bit of milk so I end up throwing a lot.

You're most welcome Fox! It's definitely a game changing technique, saves you so much wasted milk too : ) - Brenda

Hi Toby, what about how to reset the Aldi pod machines?

Hi Mink! Please check out this blog for how to reset your K-Fee/Aldi machine: https://www.urbanbrew.co/bl... : ) - Brenda

I've changed the default short shot size on my K Fee machine to 30ml rather than the default 40ml. What size to you feel is best suited to your pods? (I've just placed my first order with you, so I don't have your capsules yet to experiment with, but I have found that all of the Aldi capsules are absolutely tasteless at both 40ml and 30ml)

Hi Michael, we recommend the best extraction with our pods is the 40mls. 😊☕ - Camille

Thanks Camille. I'll set it back to the 40ml default. Looking forward to receiving your capsules. :)
