A few videos worth watching

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

You may well have seen these videos – but just in case I thought I’d post a few up that I’ve enjoyed recently:

First up a fun video from the Norwegian crew who came to visit London and did the whole Disloyalty Card in a day.  Epic, heroic quantities of caffeine consumed!  Quite how they managed to cup with us halfway through the day remains a mystery.  I’m almost jealous of their coffee constitutions: (more…)

UBF IV

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

Much fun was had at the UBF last night. I was pulling shots all night, but had my camera with me so shot a bit of video as we went along which I’ve cut into a fun little thing:

The challenge was head to head pour again, in UBF Branded1 2oz espresso cups, with 16 entrants battling down to one winner (congrats Brett!). There will be a post on the UBF blog very soon, detailing the results from the night as well as photos too I hope.

Footnotes:
  1. I should add a massive thanks to Gwilym here.  ACF offered him some custom cups as a prize for winning the WBC, so he sent them the UBF logo so now we have UBF espresso and capp cups.  The man is awesome!! []

Video 13 – How does it look

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

Probably recorded too late at night to make much sense.  Perhaps me just worrying too much about us worrying too much about how things look instead of how things taste and the relationship between the two.

Video 12 – Barista Competitions (I’m back!)

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

It has been a while.  Excuse the low production values for this video (then again, it isn’t like the others were beautifully shot).  I just want to get back into the swing of things!

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.

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.
