the news.....

Our recent trip overseas was to source another roaster for St Ali. Capacity has increased and will increase with the change over. So we have purchased a 15 kilo renegade for St Ali. Computer controlled profiling with the fully manual mode and the ability  pretty much change drum speed, airflow etc etc really sold it for us. We have been getting some great results with the 5 k and hope it transforms straight onto the 15.

WBC go Dave!

All the best for the qualifying and finals Dave, we will have our fingers crossed. It would be great to see Australia bring the title home. So most of the focus is on Copenhagen at the moment, but just to keep it real, we will be having some of the coffees David is using on as Single Origins over the next few days. Some big news next week, can't really let the cat out of the bag yet. 

Coffees try the natural El Salvador, its a winner. The Pacamara as well is great. We will be having a few interesting brazils on as well.

Probat and Europe

Here I am making the pilgrimage to Probat, thanks Antje for showing us around. Looked at the new Probat shop roasters which look pretty sweet as well. So we checked out some roaster guys who are rebuilding and reworking some roasters over in Belgium and the Netherlands, all doing great stuff. 

Cupping this week is an El Salvador selection which is outstanding. 5 different El Salvadors that are really in a class of their own.
