all things coffee


thanks to si kirby for this tip about a new, ethical coffee distribution company, ethical addictions.
this looks like a great little fair trade company, who even give you a free sample of their coffee delivered to your door! and make sure you click on the little movie link to get a look at the the promo for the plantation in tanzania.

and a fabulous new type of coffee machine that i'd love to get, the presso (that's it in the picture). you can buy it here in the uk through culinaire.

there are quite a few good sites about coffee, like caffeist (coffee geekery), and grendel's green coffee blog (passionate about home roasting - this looks like the thing to try).

mmmmmmmm........coffeeeeeeee

G'day Rev,

Like the blog - we need more of them!

I use a Presso at home and can highly recommend them - if you get the grind and tamp right - they are pretty crucial in a machine with limited pressure capabilities. If you do end up with one I have lots of notes on my blog about my experiences with it.

and thanks for the tip about the grind and tamp - its the little things that matter, eh.
