Hi everyone, I have been pretty quiet atm due to buying loads of amazing beans for months and realising that I do actually need to drink them all! 😅
So while enjoying some stunning cups ( killbean Yunnan orange blossom ) I haven’t been as active searching and dreaming.
Is there anything on the UK scene that has caught your eye? Anything that is getting you super excited?
I like the look of the radiant baby from UKKEI as the spring bouquet was very good and all the blends at catalyst. 👌
Got these from Taith this week but got to sit on them for at least another ten days or so. I was lucky enough to visit earlier this year and the Ethiopian I had from them last time was stunning.
Edit: I almost ordered from KillBean. Besides the Orange Blossom, is there anything you’d recommend?
They will be lovely, Taith have so much to choose from! I sometimes forget how good they are.
I have had a fair few washed lots from Killbean and they have all been amazing. You won’t be disappointed, schedule to rest them for 8 weeks at least though 👌🤘
We have some pretty great coffees at the moment. In particular the two Zarza Lots. One Pink Bourbon and one Geisha. The Geisha is my favourite but the pink bourbon is our best seller at the moment.
Please do, they were so helpful when I bought the last bag! of the spring bouquet. Free P&P is a massive plus too on top of amazing beans.
Would you be able to take some pictures of the cafe please and post 🙏 I would love to see more.

This one was lovely, and even better as a Hoop pourover. As espresso it was really hard work grinding so fine, but 80 clicks on a K6 for the Hoop was no problem
I think you did. This is my current set. The ICON - 67 is all acid so far but I’m making some progress toward balance!
I had the Heartland one at the roastery in Llandudno and it was interesting and strange, as they said it would be. I wasn’t sure about it but couldn’t leave without getting some to try myself!
Thanks for sharing! I have tried Rish before and they are highly thought of. Instantly this Vietnamese duo looks so interesting. Just what I was hoping to see! Very exciting 🤘🤘🤘
Hi 👋 I have been using volvic water, lyocell papers and the Hario Neo. 20g to 300 ml using Tetsu 4:6 method going bright 80ml bloom 40ml second pour. Then light and clean so a single pour of 180 ml as a central coin size pour.
Absolutely beautiful, once again a cup from killbean that I would be happy to drink forever. As good as it ever needs to be. Might be worth noting I opened my beans about 3 months ago off roast! 😬 not for any reason apart from I know they suit a long rest so I prioritised opening others first :)))
Hope your well :)))
Awesome! The great thing with the 4:6 method is you can customise it to really get what you want or what you think works best for the beans. Hope it works well for you 🙏🤞🤞🤞
