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

Fascinating reading, Steve. Must have missed your post announcing part 1, but I’ve caught up now. When did you find time to sleep? Did you sleep?
Can’t wait for part 3.
Didn’t sleep , still don’t
I find sleep so overrated 
coffee and sleep don’t go together well ; )
Great story Steve, look forward to the rest!
A fantastic read, and pretty awe-inspiring!
Really looking forward to part 3 and 4
