All things Coffee!
Man, do I love the Aeropress. A seemingly innocuous collaboration of two plastic tubes and a rubber stopper. How has something so simple become so synonymous with the world of coffee and great coffee at that? I can’t speak much to the engineering, design or history of the Aeropress. Designed by Alan Adler and released […]
This is just a quick one but a worthwhile note on how ratings are changing a little here at Ninja Refinery. I’ve reviewed and rated plenty of games, coffee and peripherals and found myself largely happy not using a score-based system. I don’t agree with scores, and wrote about it a while ago but it […]
The hobby of home coffee-making can be a little bit snobbish, and people can get waaay too far into the science and extreme lengths to make the “perfect” cup. But the truth is, a good coffee and a few quid on a low cost setup can get you a great drink consistently. You don’t need […]
I’ll keep this relatively short, because all the work is done in the listing, reasoning and plotting-out of the best games and coffees that have been enjoyed over at ninjarefinery.com HQ. The best of 2021 is more about the best things that have been enjoyed throughout the year, not the best releases of the year, […]
It’s been a little while since any posts, but that’s fine, it’s in the name of progress behind the scenes. With a cool idea around the merch store that may or may not take place, a video review that I keep putting off, Skyward Sword keeping me busy and plenty of online games. There’s a […]
Nothing drastic going on here, in fact, nothing much going on, hence the update. I’ve tried to invest time in specific games, tried to put time into streaming, and slowly slowly started to work on video content. Not everything pans out, some things will take a little longer as I keep making changes to the […]
It’s been a little while since I’ve put anything up here. Although I have a lot of stuff half-written and loads of stuff to come. Time is the constant inhibitor, but hopefully in the coming weeks things are going to change a little. Of course, priority is family first, but as some changes in work […]
The third and final review of the Crackd coffee trilogy. G-Force, the dark roast. I love a dark roast coffee, which I’m fairly certain I’ve written about enough on this site! I’m alaso a big fan of the other Crackd Coffee’s, so it seems like a no-brainer, right? Well……..G-Force tastes great, like a seriously dark […]
Number two in my review of the Crackd Coffee roasts. Gamr is up, and damn, it’s a contender for one of my favourite roasts ever. As a refresher, I recently reviewed Crackd’s “Focusd” the first chapter of this trilogy of coffee’s. Crackd are a gaming-focused coffee roaster, and I’m on a mission to see how […]
Crackd Coffee is a UK coffee roaster, that roasts and sells gaming themed coffee’s! When I found a UK-based gaming-focused coffee roaster, I thought 2 things: My little niche of gaming and coffee, is a thing elsewhere! Is this just some company pushing a gimmick? The amount of “gamer” or “gaming” crap sold these days […]
