Thanks EmeraldSue. I will try the chux method next time. I think coffee filter paper is just too fine for it.

Have you got the recipe for making concentrate? I just went to get mine, but I have put it away somewhere safe while I was away.  If you don't have it I will hunt it out.  I'll need to as I want to make some . I think it's something like 150g crio to 700 or 800g water. I am not sure of the sugar quantity as I don't put sugar inmine.

I child-proofed my house, but they still get in!

Hoping this link works for the concentrate recipe.

Thanks to both of you. Am going to try and make concentrate on the weekend.  I bought 3 bags, one of each flavour so I can do plenty of experimenting.

I brewed some crio bru through an aeropress this morning. By far the best flavour I have extracted so far. Did always prefer coffee brewed this way. Can't drink coffee anymore though so crio bru is it!

That looks a good way to do it.  I just checked and there is a place nearby I could buy it . $49 Would be a nice Christmas gift from me to me. 8) 8) I could then use it when I am in the van for coffee and crio.

Handy!

They are so much easier to clean than a French press too.

What a great thing for taking away, I can never seem to get a good coffee when we go away.  :P

Wow, that Areopress looks awesome! When my filter coffee machine dies, I'll get one of those.
I bought a frother from Woolies for $29! I also got the pod from Woolies for our Albany house. It was only $79, made in Italy and works brilliantly.
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

Not sold on crio either... By the time you get it to taste good its not that good for you..too watery for my liking..however did like teninas syrup but so much sugar!
