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
In the week where a UK Company (not us I hasten to add, mores the pity) pays the highest price a UK company ever has at an internet auction for micro lot coffee, the only story I could find is one of Amy Winehouse may like to drink coffee.
Is this the state of the UK coffee scene?

Seems that way. We live in a country where the majority have never tasted decent coffee and many others think that coffee solids in a jar constitute coffee. I’m off to cuddle a bag of Cacheoira and make it feel all better …..
Tis a shame and tis true cakey, my next blog will be even more disappointing (if I can bring my self to do it), more to come.
