  1. Coffee Beans
    Thatโ€™s a good point. I need to go to their cafe and ask. Which I shall. Hopefully Iโ€™ll feed back soon! Sorry for sounding a bit demeaning and/or rude, just wondering if anyone has had the same experience.

    Sorry if I sound like a snob ๐Ÿ˜ซ Have you guys ever been to coffee tasting by North Star to understand theyโ€™re values and how they want their beans to be interpreted?
  3. Coffee Beans
    I think youโ€™re right, itโ€™s down to preference in this case. I just cannot get any flavour beyond that of a typica varietal taste I would strongly recommend, if you live in Leeds, to try Kapow.

  8. All Grinders & Hand-Grinders
    Hi all, just bought a second hand fiorenzato f64 on FB marketplace and really happy with it. I was fiddling round when cleaning it and when attempting a calibration the bursa rubbed together and created a small bit of smokeโ€ฆ. Consequently on the burrs there is a slight singe mark and smoke...
