Video 10 – Labelling results

Friday, July 17th, 2009

In case I don’t make it clear enough in the video – if you can do this (if you are a cafe or roastery) then I would highly recommend this simple experiment.

Arthur Benjamin’s formula for changing maths education

The coffees we used1:

Blackburn AA

El Carrizo

Ngunguru AA

Tegu AA

Footnotes:
  1. this is more so you can read the descriptions than me trying to flog you coffee! []

Video 9 – Cups

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

Today’s rant – it isn’t really a rant – is about cups.

I’d love to know which are your favourites for drinking from (rather than collectable favourites) and why.

Video 8 – No to numbers

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

I am not really out to antagonise – this is just a personal point of view.  I’d love to know the opinions of both industry and any consumers reading/watching.

Video 7 – News, thank yous and labels

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

I suspect I am going to start struggling for post titles soon!

Sorry about the macbook filming again today – no more from now on (honest!).

The tasting will be this Friday (The 17th, not the 16th) from 4pm to 6pm.  I only need 10 minutes of your time to quickly pop in and taste 5 coffees that we will be brewing over and over.  No need to RSVP or anything, but a note in the comments would be nice.

On a side note – I know this post wasn’t published when it was supposed to be, but the video was uploaded on time so I count that as a win and not a fail.  So there!

Video 6 – A visit to Gwilym

Monday, July 13th, 2009

I forgot my video camera, but thankfully I had made a little video on Sunday.  The title says it all really.

Questions for next week in the comments please!
