Hey Phil. The word monsooned malabar alone is drawing me to this way of making coffee, i got to try that, my sister is a bit of an expert on coffee, (travelled) , so will ask her if she tried it.
I've always drank instant stuff, just through habit really, guess i will have to for a while longer with 10 jars haha.
This forum is great as I've learnt something else apart from making a decent curry now.
Will get hold of some and let you know Phil.
Thanks

Just bought 10 big jars of douwe egberts coffee, yes like my coffee but can use these jars for my powders, spices.
half price at tesco for ?3.29.   http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=271183270
makes sense if you like coffee!

Thanks Curry2go. Came up trump's and wow does it make a difference as you rightly say about the scraping technique and how it sticks, was best vindaloo think (I've) ever made using your methods.
Going to try Chewy's base soon, still got lots left.
Thanks again for all response.

Thanks for that Chewwy. Much Appreciated. Just gonna get scrubbing.. 

Thanks Natterjack. Much obliged

Hey guys.
I put drop bleach in my aluminium pan diluted with water and now it's grey / discoloured on the cooking surface 
When i use a paper towel, it's bringing off dark colour.
Put drop bleach in because it's new and just thought hygiene..
I want to use it today to make curry's but just a little unsure if i need to treat this little mishap first.
Diffrent suggestions when i google this so just wondered if any of you guys on here have a similar experience.
Thanks
