APRIL NEWS
It’s been an awesome month! We’ve successfully installed our roaster and are super excited to be cupping and drinking some of the first batches at the moment. You’ve probably also noticed our new 1kg bags that are in circulation since last week, we have been working on these for a while and really happy with […]
ROUTINE AND HIDDEN TREASURE
It’s Tuesday (for narrative purposes). You know this because Marg is wearing her puffy sleeved chequered blouse, tapered ankle length slacks in emerald green and New Balance sneakers. You know her name is Marg because you’ve heard “Thanks Marg, your skim cap is ready!” at least 398 times. She’s a newbie. Though she is unaware, […]
FIKAPAUS: APRIL EDITION
The word ‘crisp’ is charming and quaint. It’s only regular uses that I’m familiar with are either as a noun, as in, a potato crisp, or as an adjective. The former conjurers up delicious salty crunchy things and darling English accents, and the latter is really only ever used to describe a clear Autumn morning. […]
COFFEE OF THE MONTH: DR CONGO
In recent years DR Congo is re-emerging as a coffee origin. This is the 3rd crop we have purchased in as many years and the region is showing us what it is capable of. Many small cooperatives are now in action and working together to increase the quality of their coffee. This coffee is from […]
HOW DOES WATER TEMPERATURE AFFECT YOUR ESPRESSO?
Water is a somewhat necessary part of our existence, and unless you eat coffee your beans straight out of the bag, it’s a necessary part of a coffee’s existence. It’s a complex topic, very scientific, definitely getting into some high brow coffee snobbery with chemical equations and variables and such and so forth, so we’ll […]
HOW DOES WATER PRESSURE AFFECT YOUR ESPRESSOS?
Did you know that pressure does things to other things? It does! It turns coal into diamonds. It turns beers with friends into tequila shots. And it turns coffee into espressos! Pressure is great! We are constantly exerting and experiencing some form of force. We are at the same time being pulled down by gravity, […]
COFFEE OF THE MONTH: MARCH
BURUNDI MAGEYO – AWAKA PROJECT Burundi is one of my favourite origins! So I’m pretty excited about this coffee landing in our warehouse and look forward to the aromas complex flavours over the next 4 weeks. This small washing station may be small but it produces coffee with some big flavours! The cup profile is […]
MARCH NEWS
FINALLY INTO THE THICK OF IT…. After months of planning and waiting for approvals we have finally begun all out construction in our warehouse. It is officially a mess! After some extensive plumbing works, the carpenters are working away and will slowly transform the space into the coffee haven that we dream it to be. […]
CAFE IDENTITY: THE BEACH SIDE BAKERY/CAFE
You’re going camping. Not hard core, hike three days in and out mountain bring your own everything or you will surely die type camping, but a ‘pack the surfboards, bikes and an esky we’re heading to the beach’ type camping. And let’s just say you’re not going to be making your own coffee (though you […]
FIKAPAUS : MARCH EDITION
March’s Fika is all about a few things that are really great, but don’t mke a big song and dance about it. Take March for example, a shoulder month. It’s Autumn, but doesn’t have the public holidays that show pony April has, but still has great qualities. Surely. I guess it’s still kind of warm. […]
New BMR family addition is in the waters
With January behind us, we are well and truly into the year and looking forward to picking up some of our major projects again. This month we will throw ourselves into continuing our warehouse fit-out and make sure we are more than ready to accept our brand new Giesen roaster when it arrives in March […]
INSTANT CAFFEINATION
I began research into the second wave of coffee, ready to titillate you with coffee chains and orange mocha frappuccinos, when I discovered a gaping hole of an oversight in my previous overview. It’s so big I think it deserves its own movement – the one point fifth wave of coffee. INSTANT. Whatever your feelings […]
