AeroPress Go Review: How does it compare with the original?

The new Aeropress Go is very similar to the original Aerobie Aeropress, but significantly more compact.  It is designed specifically as a travel brewer.  It fits together well, is easy to carry, makes great coffee and, unlike the original, comes with its own cup that doubles as a carrying case.  At £31.50 the price is marginally lower than the original.

Why Colombian Huila coffee beans are so popular

Why Colombian Huila coffee beans are so popular

Our Pure Colombian Huila coffee has become one of our best selling coffees. This blog explains some of the reasons Huila coffee is a popular choice.

There are few countries more famous for coffee production than Colombia. Coffee from Colombia is known for its rich, mild flavour which is a result of the perfect climate and beans that are grown. Colombia is one of the few countries that only grows Arabica beans, which besides climate and elevation, is why Colombian coffee is considered higher quality.

Buying decaffeinated coffee beans explained.
Coffee Tips

Buying decaffeinated coffee beans explained.

Lots of people are quick to jump to the assumption that decaf coffee is inferior, and tastes nothing like ‘real’ coffee. As you read this you may also agree that decaf is totally different but we can bet the majority of people who say this either haven't actually tried a good decaf coffee or have only tried very few. It's just one of those conceptions that has been around for years.

To understand why decaf may taste different, we first need to understand what decaf coffee actually is.

Should you buy coffee beans online?
Did You Know

Should you buy coffee beans online?

As online retailers and roasters of coffee, we are often asked by people we meet about the benefits of buying coffee online. So we decided to dedicate a blog to answering this question, since many of you visiting our website might be considering whether or not to make your first online coffee purchase.

However, we thought it worth noting upfront that many of the benefits of buying coffee online that we list below, also apply to buying coffee directly from a specialist artisan coffee roaster near where you live or work. And, if you do have one of those on your doorstep, we would certainly recommend you give them a try and avoid the packaging and postage costs associated with buying online. However, most people in the UK struggle to find an artisan coffee roaster locally, which is why online coffee bean sales continue to grow at a rapid rate in the UK.
What Does Organic and Fairtrade Mean in Coffee?

What Does Organic and Fairtrade Mean in Coffee?

Within the coffee industry, terms such as ‘Fairtrade’ and ‘organic’ are very common to see on coffee packaging, but what do they actually mean? We’ve taken an in-depth look at these two terms this month to help us understand what they truly mean.

Firstly let's look at the key differences between the two, Fairtrade is all about the supply chain and making sure farmers across the world are paid fairly for their work. Organic is about production of coffee and what physical things have been used in the process.

Best coffee beans for Aeropress

The Aeropress is now a common feature in homes, offices and camper-vans, especially for those who regularly brew a singe cup of coffee.  This syringe like device mixes coffee grounds with hot water, then the plunger is used to push the water through a filter.  The coffee only takes 30 seconds to brew as coffee extraction happens by both immersing the coffee, like a cafetière, and by pushing water through the coffee under pressure, like an espresso.
