Sometimes, you’re out on the road, possibly hitting service stations on the motorway or even in the middle of an unknown town, looking for a coffee. You’re likely to have a slew of options, and of course there’s always a Starbucks or Costa peddling their coffee wares. Now, I don’t have any issues with big […]

Java Update: Coffee at home doesn’t have to cost a fortune – Hario V60
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 […]
Blog – Coffee changes
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 […]
Java Update – Crackd Coffee: G-Force
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 […]
Java Update – Crackd Coffee: Gamr
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 […]
Java Update – Crackd Coffee: Focusd
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 […]
Java Update – Tiki Tonga 232
I’ll be honest, until I got a follow from Tiki Tonga Coffee Roasters on Instagram, I’d never heard of them. But I’m always on the lookout for a new roaster to try, and to see what people can come up with. Tiki Tonga have plenty of roasts available, and honestly, I wish I could have […]
The Coffee Mate – Santa Petrona
The Coffee Mate were good enough to reach out not so long ago, and send me through two different bags of beans that they have roasted and sell over at thecoffeemate.co.uk. Santa Petrona and Maragogype, this is a review of the Santa Petrona blend. As anyone that read my reviews over here, I love trying […]
Java Update: Cannonball Coffee
Cannonball time: It’s easy to write coffee’s-off as a gimmick when they focus on the “strongest ever” or “ultra-high caffeine” etc. I get it, I’ve tried a few, and it’s usually a bitter-tasting, darkly roasted cup of crap. So when Cannonball Coffee started popping-up in my timelines (mostly Instagram), I kind of just shrugged it […]
Nescafe Azera – Nitro Coffee
I’ll be honest, if you say Nescafe I just think of “Gold Blend” and horrible freeze-dried coffee. It isn’t for me, but on occasions it’s all there is, and well, beggars can’t be choosers, right? Following on from the surprisingly excellent canned Costa coffee’s, I’ve been paying more attention to chiller sections in shops to […]
