All things Coffee!
In my lifelong quest to try the biggest variety of coffees and coffee-based drink, I often find myself taken aback when I see some obscure beverage on sale at a supermarket. Now. Coffee is always associated with caffeine, as are energy drinks. So, really, it shouldn’t have been a surprise really when I saw that […]
Rave coffee is a name I’ve heard several times over the past couple of years, but I’ve never gotten around to trying their roasts and blends up until recently. A UK-based roaster, down in Cirencester (a place I have to visit at least once a month for work!), with what appears to be a great […]
When you think of coffee, you think perhaps of Italy or France? With the rise of single origin beans, you probably even think of Ethiopia or Columbia, even. With small UK roasters taking off in a big way, you might even think of London or somewhere like that. Do you ever think “Cornwall”? Being honest, […]
Until a little while ago, a Moka Pot wasn’t something on my radar. That little stovetop kettle thing that you see on TV or in films, or in my case, in games. I knew it was coffee-related, but had no clue what it really was. Playing Red Dead Redemption 2 had me making coffee at […]
Let’s be fair, when you see the words “Coffee” and “Cola” bunched together, you’d perhaps expect them to be on a receipt where multiple people have ordered drinks. Not Coffee-flavoured cola…… So of course when I saw this sat on the shelf down the drinks aisle at my local Tesco, I had to give it […]
I gave the Costa cold brew a bash and it was ok. How does the Starbucks attempt hold up? Pretty well actually. Being honest, I have a real soft spot for the Starbucks house blend. The darkness, the smokiness. It’s a favourite (no doubt coffee purists will hate it, but, whatever, I really enjoy the […]
It’s personal taste, but I think it’s fair to say that the combination of coffee and hazelnut is a classic, and a great blend of flavours that just works. So when I saw the “Caffe” in the chiller aisle the other day, and read that it was a coffee and hazelnut drink, what choice did […]
Cold Brew has been a pretty big deal in the past couple of years, with every man and their dog giving it space on their summer menus. I mean, let’s be fair, cold coffee isn’t exactly high up on my list of favourite things. However coffee that’s gone cold is a very different beast, compared […]
Frankly, it’s embarrassing how long it’s taken me to get this review together. Not only did The Baytown Coffee Company send me the “Bay Bank” blend to review, but I’ve had it half-written for months. The truth is, I love doing this, and I always want to make sure it gets my full attention. Half-assing […]
One of the best coffee findings in recent years is that there is a relatively local (North Yorkshire) coffee roaster AND they do excellent coffee! That company is the Baytown Coffee Company. Better yet, I have great friends and family and every birthday or Christmas for the past couple of years I’ve found myself with […]
