Yes, lactose free. 74 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 2: We tried camel's milk. 75 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 4: Do you try that one? 76 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 6: Was not? 77 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I've heard about it. 78 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 4: I got them coffees made with camel's milk to see 79 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 4: if they'd noticed an oh boy, did they notice? They 80 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 4: were stomping around. Kind there's something wrong with this, And 81 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 4: I was like, no. 82 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 5: Mon's fine. 83 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 3: Hey when it comes to picking beans, right, you guys 84 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 3: are on fire at your coffee shop, Axle. But say 85 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 3: we're in the supermarket, all right, picking beans for home. 86 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 3: What shall we be looking for? Where's the best stuff 87 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 3: come from? 88 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 6: Okay, Look, it can come from a lot of different places, 89 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 6: Central South America, Ethiopia, you know, all over Africa. There's 90 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 6: a lot of good coffees. But I think a good 91 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 6: tip for the supermarket is try and find the fresh, 92 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 6: fresh beans. So if you can look at the roastate 93 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 6: rather than expiry, look for a roastate. So it's a 94 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 6: big thing that I do with competition is serve it 95 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 6: at a particular day. So I serve it at ten 96 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 6: days old. It's going to be difficult at the supermarket 97 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 6: to find, but anything that's fresh or has a roasted date, 98 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 6: I think is going to go as early as possible. 99 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 2: And should we be buying the beans and crushing him 100 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 2: up ourself? 101 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 4: What depends what you've got. Like, I'm a pod girl 102 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 4: because I just don't have time for the cleanup of 103 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 4: the coffee machine. Are some pods better than others. 104 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 6: There's some good pods as well, and I think I've 105 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 6: seen some good ones in supermarkets too, So I think 106 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 6: specially grade coffee is always good, whether it's pods or freshmen. 107 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 4: But there's so many flavors. I was on an espresso 108 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 4: the other day and I went on the website to 109 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 4: order some more. 110 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 2: We'd run out very overwhelming. 111 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 4: There's like sixty different types of pods, and some are 112 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 4: grown in different places. George, I know, and then you 113 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 4: get distracted by George one. 114 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 3: Yes, you look in his eyes and you're buying your results. 115 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 3: What are the different ones? 116 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 5: Isstretto? 117 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 4: Do you know any thing about the best pods? Is there? 118 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 6: Like? 119 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 4: Do you go flavored? Do you go classic? 120 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 2: Do you? 121 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 6: I mean, I don't try it much of sort of 122 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 6: like those commercial style ones. But there's a lot of 123 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 6: good specially ones, and there's some single origin some. 124 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 4: I've seen that on the website. 125 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 2: The single origin, single origin is good. 126 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 4: What about temperature? Yes, because I hate buying a coffee 127 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 4: and it's so hot it burns your tongue. 128 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: Is it supposed to be that hot? 129 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 5: So I don't want it to too. 130 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 1: That's the thing. 131 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 6: It's so subjective, right, everyone likes it different, so I 132 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 6: mean that's perfect temp. I think for milk sixty five degrees, 133 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 6: which I think most people will consider too. 134 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 5: Could really okay?
