7 days 7 coffees day 6

Sun, 05 Feb 2012 05:34:10 PST

OK this one is a bit of a cheat. Its this weeks in my mug, but its still a new coffee. It also means you get a video (another cop out) but it has been very very tough to keep this pace up. I’ll be glad once the last one is done. Its a special cup and I hope you get a chance to try it. Another of our direct trade coffees, this time located in the North Yungas region of Bolivia in the colony of...

Location: Budapest, Hungary Some of the best coffee I've had in Europe!! Such a cool chilled out little cafe adjacent to a print shop (hence the name) selling a bunch of local artsy stuff.

The staff are friendly, the cafe is bursting with atmosphere, prices are reasonable and most importantly the...

Revolver (Vancouver), Vancouver, Canada

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:54:40 PST

Location: Vancouver, Canada This place has all the right gear, products, atmosphere, staff with sufficient angular hair, red indie lipstick, guys with beards and plaid shirts. Front line customer service needs work, but barista was very nice. My largest concern was my 25 second brew Aeropress. Not great.

Location: New York City, United States Organic, fair trade, shade grown AND delicious? Now we're talking! Nice industrial/warehouse/loading bay kind of thing going on with a cozy and quirky feel.

Location: Wagga Wagga, Australia This place has grown on me... The coffee keeps getting better or I am getting used to it.

Tweet The Drink: Coffee Del Sol El Salvador Alicia Type: Whole Bean Microlot Overall Rating: 4 Out Of 5 Coffee Mugs I’ve heard that Lady Gaga loves her coffee, I know because I get alerts sent to my email whenever a new a coffee related story is published online, but I had no idea that she was growing her own coffee in El Salvador.

The Precision Shot Brewer

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 00:07:36 PST

I’ve been spending quite few hours testing and evaluating various burrs and baskets recently and I have come to realise that a purpose built, highly stable shot brewer would be a useful tool. It may be my metrology background but I am always looking for ways to remove uncertainties and subjectivity from my test procedures so a Precision Shot Brewer is now top of my wish list. The machine will...
