Just noticed your lovely review of your r...Hiya, <br /> <br />Just noticed your lovely review of your recent visit to the cafe - thanks - and I'm happy to hear you had such a nice experience.<br /> <br />I constantly put a lot of work (and obsessive passion!) into the coffee, and have been at the cafe developing everything we do with this for several years now.<br /><br />Although I'm there full-time during the week, I'm not usually in on Saturdays, so I might not have been present when you visited. But I spend a lot of time training and monitoring standards for all the staff, so that even when I don't make the drink myself, the quality can be as high as possible. It's great to hear that the baristas I train are representing the coffee and techniques so well. I can tell just by looking at the style of the 'freepour' latte art pictured, that it was indeed not one of my own pours, and also that it was probably in fact Kas, one of my best baristas, who has become exceptionally skilled during his time with us - and so well done and full credit to him!<br /><br />The barista preparing the drink is a crucial variable when it comes to good coffee. It's all part of a whole chain of quality and attention to detail from farm to cup (as you rightly observe), that is achieved by using great, fresh-harvest coffees from the best farms, FRESHLY roasted by an artisan roaster (I work with James' Gourmet Coffee), and then carefully preparing these coffees with skilled techniques, on properly maintained, quality equipment.<br /><br />You can find out more about what I and we do with coffee on my coffee blog, The Bean Vagrant.<br /><br />Hope to see you again,<br /><br />Trevor<br />Head BaristaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174388664701790643.post-81559259830414688942011-09-26T23:20:15.340+01:002011-09-26T23:20:15.340+01:00Looks like a good cup of coffee Gorro.
