Yes beedee I am the same there's not a week goes by that I am not buying concentrates, looking at the vta ones at the moment haven't tried any yet but seems to be some good feedback on them. Do not need to buy anymore.  |

Don't think you're alone there beedee ! I picked this image up recently of someone's mixing accumulations . . . . . how organised are they!

Do not need to buy anymore. When did ' need ' ever come into the equation tcg69 ! Thanks to the VTA range I've gone off the rails completely this last few weeks, having been reasonably good for a couple of months . . . . it's finding time now to get them mixed. Ah well, there are far worse addictions! |

Mine are eventually more organised than they once were, in that I've got everything sorted into containers by brand, which makes finding stuff a wee bitty bit easier - although it can still be a bit of a mission going through brands like Capella and TFA to track down the exact one. They are however spread over a number of cupboards, some women may dream of a walk in wardrobe, I dream of having a walk in concentrate cupboard!

Oh.... my.... ^^^ Most impressive!  You guys need some sort of old fashioned catalogue system to easily locate individual flavours, like libraries use to use to find specific books ... Dewey Decimal Concentrate System anyone? |

The thing is some of the stupid concentrates we buy. Example I wanted to make mango lassi so looked at a original recipe found that cardamom is a part of it so go ahead purchase a bottle of fa cardamom so make the recipe,and what does it taste like  another £3:30 down the drain. |

another £3:30 down the drain. Must admit, tcg69, I usually buy their 3ml samplers from their own website when trying something new. You have to get 5 but it's saved me some expensive mistakes. Also, most of them are strong, so 3ml does me a while, if I like something from them enough to finish a 3ml, I know I'll probably want to shell out for a full bottle!.  |

Example I wanted to make mango lassi so looked at a original recipe found that cardamom is a part of it so go ahead purchase a bottle of fa cardamom so make the recipe,and what does it taste like another £3:30 down the drain. I've kinda learnt my lesson on that one tcg69 . . . . the hard way of course! Now if I see a recipe that has a flavour which I'm never like to use again, I'll go for a substitute that's in the accumulations, something similar ( or not ) if I think it will blend in. Although there's always a slight nagging feeling that I may have passed on something that's outstanding!

If I ever win the Lottery, which is highly unlikely, as I don't do it! I'll buy us each one of these which we could have fitted out into a bespoke Mixing Room.   |
