Was in the area visting my family for easter and had been meaning to visit yor shop for ages as I'd heard nothing but good things about it. Safe to say it didn't dissappoint! Not sure why I didn't introduce myself to be honest, I was still waking up! Still next time Im in the area I'll pop back in. Cheers for the website for the beans, I ordered some habesha as soon as I got home. Well if your ever round Brighouse pop in although it might be worht giving us a shout on here first because while the shop I work in is a lovely place not all the staff are as dedicated to producing high quality, consistent coffee as I am. I try to give them pointers and tell them where they could improve but they're in it for the money not the love of the craft. Would hate for one of them to serve you and leave a bad impression. Still all that will change in years to come when I finally scrape together enough cash to open my own place!

Watched your performance at Hotelympia, along with a Hugo's and a few others and was really inspired to go for it this coming year - any tips? anything you learnt by comparing your score sheets from the heat to the finals? anything you would have changed or will change next year???
All the best
