      PS: Steve Agi said it was ok to prematurely flog the International Coffee mag bit, as I have done the reviews they just have not gone to print yet.
      So you maybe in for some Kiwi Cafes for a change !

        Good letter - did you notice that (I think) AMs letter was directly after the one from Scott Nicholl? You chopped a bit of it off, though - it would be good if you could post that one, also.

        (It would be nice to read something of AMs that doesnt refer to a womans place being in the kitchen chained to the stove... ;D Just joking!)

        Cheers

            OUTRAGE... you need to sue the pants off this newspaper and their reporter.

            In the photo cation they called you a barista!

            (roaster Andy scarpers away from the baristi lobbing milk jugs at him again... might have to stop this habit.)

              Interesting reading. There is bad coffee wherever you go and I believe that it is due to lack of interest and enthusiasm. For some people it is "just a job" not something they really want to do. 90% of coffee that comes out of cafes is either too hot or too cold, do people even know what temperature brings out the natural sweetness in milk? If you have to put sugar in a flat white then there is something drastically wrong.
              Im not having a go at cafe owners Im just saying that staffs training is not always up to scratch. You wouldnt open a garage and start fixing peoples cars if you knew nothing about them would you?

                For consumers
                Weaning people from what they know is like breaking a life long habit
                It is incredibly hard to do

                For service providers
                Specialty Coffee standards are in place for all to follow

                  Cant be AMs letter, Di. The author spelt the correctly.

                    True:
                    90% of coffee that comes out of cafes is either too hot or too cold, do people even know what temperature brings out the natural sweetness in milk? If you have to put sugar in a flat white then there is something drastically wrong.

                    So why do most places have extra large sugar bowels ;D

                    There are plenty that do...
                    As to teh comments as to teh way "the" might be speelt; then one must assume teh identity of teh person is still secure.    ;D    8-) I guess a hard copy of the article could be teh telling......

                    "Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like? "  ROFLMAO..  Housewives

                                ""He has attempted to include a local roaster""

                                This was the line that made "angry man" go off. He is the only local roaster. AMs reference was regarding one of our local coffee middle men of a fairly large National roasting company who only recently added roast dates to their offerings.
                                So "angry man" thought I had mentioned him :

                                Anyway I managed to keep my cool and just listened to his complaints that ended up covering just about everything I had ever said (funny he only had one point to start with) but my wife said she wants the phone next time 8-)


                                A kickbox to the head would be nicer for him ;D
