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
So I have found I can drive and boo
A revelation or recipe for a crash? Either way booed today about the ukbc and the post is here

Thanks Steve for those awesome words means a lot, and thanks team Hasbean.
Didn’t quite knock it out of the park but 11th (I think) in UK is a good start in my first semi finals appearance. The semi-finals are a big change in environment to the regional heats. Not the most enjoyable experience in the world but the most enlightening from a competition baristas point of view.
Will I do it again?
I don’t think I have represented myself or the coffee to the best of my ability. Yet on the other hand, the time, commitment and the impact it has on my loved ones is huge so the decision will take a bit of time.
Just want to say thanks to Steve and Sarah and the team who do just little more than turn them green beans brown.
Thx Gordon Marie and Tom
