Need to know how to brew the aeropress? Well this might not help but it will show you how I do it wrong.
So a big reason for wanting to make this trip was to go picking pulping of my own coffee. I've never been able to say I have picked the coffee I roast as pickings have been on farms that we have been unable to buy everything from.
I think that the roast style has nothing to do with the brew method of the coffee, nor do I believe that you should roast coffee differently for those different styles.
Pre ground coffee, a compromise too far, or a way of bringing in the masses?
Here I explore and share some of my favourtie people I follow on the phenomenon known as twitter
I take an in-depth look into all the elements that go into making espresso blends
A few weeks ago I was on Wine Library TV, drinking and talking wine with Gary Vaynerchuk
I went down to see Willie Harcourt-Cooze and see how he roasts his cocoa and we drank some coffee
I’ve just received some photos from Ernesto of the El Salvador Alaska cup of excellence let we won, being loaded up into the container. I think its fantastic that Ernesto has kept us posted and sent photos an emails all the way along.
As I said before it’s the little things. Heres a link to the pictures its very cool to see them being loaded up, something I’ve not seen before.

Cool pics Steve.
Are they stacked like that to allow air to circulate during shipping??? Now here’s a question…how does shipping by sea affect the bean, if at all?????
I think the stacking is just so they can get as many as they can in the container. The containers are air tight so don’t effect the shipping (hopefully I have seen this happen before), although they do have breathing holes for air circulation.
Its the first time I’ve seen it being loaded and I love the cardboard lining
Thanks for sharing these pics
Really helps build up the excitement, eh? How long before you receive them?
Finger in the air Marcy, 5 weeks or so I hope.
Cheers
Steve
Want some
Want some….can’t get
I feel the same pain, Matt
Steve – 4ish (by now) weeks… guess the 3 Costa Ricans, Nicaraguan, Kenyan & Australian deliveries came just in time then, eh?
So many coffees, so little time 
You folks will live all over the world
Yes Marcy I’ve had it kind of confirmed the middle of September for these so the four five weeks looks good. Yes everything came at once its like when your waiting for a bus. It tends to tie in with containers getting unloaded, warehouse making them available etc.
Never enough coffees Marcy never
“you folks will live all over the world” – so do the good coffees that you find :p
