Future Espresso Events

Anette Moldvaer — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 13:15:06 +0000

So the first of the planned ‘Taste of….’ series starts with Norway in a couple of days. As we’re fully subscribed and people keep asking when the next one is and when their favourite country is coming up I thought I’d list the intended order now, and hope that the planets align to make it run smoothly. We have a fairly good idea of which roasters from which place we want to explore, but if you know of a hidden gem that we really should get in touch with, let us know in the comments and we’ll see what we can do.

We’ll try and do one each month and hope to run in this order:

August: Norway
September: New Zealand
October: West Coast US
November: Sweden
December: Australia
January: East Coast US
February: Denmark
March: Canada
April: Japan

We’ll post up some pictures and reviews of the event on Wednesday – the first couple of coffees are already here and we are looking at the bags and drooling!

Writeup – Open Cupping 31st July

Anette Moldvaer — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 13:01:14 +0000

Our first proper open cupping was a lot of fun. With about 25 people there we were pretty much up to capacity, and it was an interesting mixture of coffee people – consumers, baristas, cafe owners and (probably for the first time in London) roasters from 4 different roasteries in London all cupping together.

Just three coffees were put out – the La Rosa, the Escondida preship sample and the Muchoki peaberry. (more details for these coffees will be available when the webshop goes live – likely around the 6th or 7th August.) The favourite, by a good number of votes, was the Muchoki.

We’ll get our next open cupping scheduled in asap and get the details up here. Maybe next time we’ll even take a few photos!

Thank you to everyone for coming and making it a lot of fun, and an extra thank you to Bill and Flick for the tasty cake!

Open Cupping – 31st July

UPDATE: WE ARE FULL!

Sorry – we are pretty booked up now. But if you wanted to come – don’t worry! There will be another open cupping announced soon!

We’re cupping again – and with the webshop likely open it will be the coffees we will hopefully have just launched. We will be offering promotional prices on coffees to attendees, so if you fancy coming just drop us a line.

6pm at the roastery. See you there!

Open Cupping – 10th July 2008

James Hoffmann — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 22:32:19 +0000

We will be having a friendly open cupping at 6pm on Thursday the 10th of July. It will be a handful of coffees, some new arrivals and some future arrivals, followed by a few beers and espresso if people somehow need more coffee.
