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?

This is absolutely amazing. I am doing an international marketing assignment on your business model, well yours and Gary V but since you’re doing things on an international basis I am using you as my key example. You are truely crushing it! Thanks for the inspiration and I am loving the coffee too, I am a big fan of the Ethiopian Dark roast coffees.
Looking good Steve!
