Taste of Australia Report

Thanks to everyone who came down and thank you especially to the roasters for sending their coffee.
Mecca, Rio, Single Origin and Seven Seeds are very much appreciated.  I think on the evening the favourites were once again spread across the coffees with the surprisingly fruity coffee from Mecca and the Seven Seeds espresso blend vying [...]

Taste of Australia Tickets!

We’re really sorry for the late notice on this one - but we didn’t want to confirm until we knew we had coffee for it.  (Postmen world wide are our enemy!)

Taste of Australia is happening this Wednesday - the 19th November, from around 6.30ish til people stagger wide-eyed and caffeinated out into the night.
Check the [...]

Videocast #2 - French Press Technique

Videocast #2 - French Press Technique from James Hoffmann on Vimeo.
In this second videocast we look at simple ways to make a better French Press.  We love making coffees in the press these days - and high acidity coffees like the Muchoki and the Santa Rita Natural really shine brewed this way.
Let us know your [...]

We’re glad people around the world have been enjoying it - [...]

Videocast #1 - Cascara

This is the first of hopefully many little videocasts.  Sometimes I will appear in them, or Stephen or maybe even Anette and sometimes not.  They won’t all be very serious, but hopefully interesting.  The first one is just a quick overview of brewing the Cascara and an excuse to film things in macro!

Videocast #1 - [...]

Taste of the West Coast USA

First off apologies for taking so long to get this posted up! It has been very hectic at Square Mile HQ these last few weeks, but we’re back blogging now!
I didn’t sleep particularly well after this event, and I guess from the amount of coffee consumed that evening - not many other attendees did [...]

Cascara Now Available

The Finca Mauritania Cascara is now available in the shop!
We’re really excited by how good this tastes, and how interesting it is.  We think coffee, and its inherent flavours, makes a bit more sense after tasting this.
We are looking forward to people’s feedback on this one - but don’t hesitate too long, we don’t have [...]
