You're right, Mrs Ben 10 has a sweet tooth and she loves it. I've done Claridge's and the Connaught in London and then a bunch of others.
The difference between a £60 five star London hotel afternoon tea and a normal one is huge - everything made fresh and top-class service vs some sandwiches, scones and cakes that might have come from Tesco.
Yours looks pretty good @TastyZanday, what did you think?
This one was good as heck. Definitely more pricey than is probably reasonable, but it was for both my gf and my mom so it’s worth getting a little bit extra.
Where would you suggest I go if I wanted to try it out in London? Is there a good place for people new to it all? I've been thinking of planning a trip to London and this would be an interesting experience.
Claridge's is really nice. Splash out and do it at one of the luxury hotels, it's worth it as an experience. Most of these hotels have world-leading bars too (the Connaught and Savoy's bars sometimes win best bar in the world awards), so go there for a cocktail before.

I couldnt imagine being a teacel, literally paying dozens for water with a bag of dirty leaves in it lmfao you could not be a bigger loser if you tried
I agree with everything else, but how does coffee take more skill to make? Tea you have to know how much to add, the temperature of the water, how long to steep and how long to let stand, coffee it's put grounds and boiling water in press and push, or push the button on coffee maker
After grinding, you need to declump and tamp properly to ensure water flows uniformly and doesnt channel. Tamp wrong and you fricked your coffee. Additionally, tamping and coarseness of grinds will determine how pressurized coffee is brewed so you need to pray your tamping was good enough that you dont over or underpressure the shot and that extraction nets you about 2x as much weight in espresso compared to grounds in approximately 25-30s. If it goes too quick its underflavored, too slow and its watered down. This is all just to pull the espresso shot btw, you may need a few extra steps for capuccinos, lattes, etc. Especially if you use syrups.

I bought a broken espresso machine which I fixed up. Now I'm following an open source upgrade guide to make it better. Thinking about dropping like $650 for a fricking grinder too.
why tho, all you need is a burr grinder, you can get a hand crank one for nothing (prob i assume ive never looked into buying a hand crank mine was given to me)

I have a good hand crank one, it gets annoying when I usually make two pulls. The electric ones with a good burr grinder are about that much.
