Another year around the sun. Another week of interesting coffees. Geshas, Pacamara, 74158. We never stop tasting coffees. I can't believe I'm pushing 40.

Let's make an espresso with (almost) everything from .

I went for a slightly bigger dose at 19g, as I love I juicy Kenyan. My grind size was 6 on the grinder. I aimed for 45g out, with a medium length preinfusion for this machine. The brew time was about 28s with the preinfusion.

The coffee was rich, sweet, with vanilla, blackcurrant, and toffee notes. I prefer it on espresso as opposed to filter but it's still great in the batch brewer at work.

The coffee is from . I picked it up from . They have had some fun roasteries lately.

I really focus on my puck prep. Obviously I'm only using cheap tools, but I still want to get the best results I can. You can make good coffee with a basic set up if you're fundamentals are strong. It's a big learning process.

Thanks for watching. The machine costs £200 and I got the bottomless baskets and handle for £40. The grinder was £100. The grinder and machine are from .

This post is not sponsored. I just love making coffee.

I have talked about the 10°c swings for years. Meteorologists only just noticed recently... I've got archives full of it.

High pressure and sunspots with solar wind. Big combination and this solar max has been strong. Extreme heat and extreme cold. Extreme precipitation, winds, floods and droughts.

It is declining now. Still potent, but declining.

Sorry for the lack of updates. Recently, I had a lot of event preparation and coffees to collate. I am more active on Instagram, but I'll be making more of an effort on Facebook in 2026.

Some of the word I've been doing includes SWOT analysis and roadmaps for different cafes that are interested in growing or changing their approach to coffee in 2026.

This year I am hoping to do at least fpure events per month. It is the second year for Slurps Up. We have regular tasting sessions in Melbourne, Sydney, Japan, Chester, Leeds, Manchester, and Staffordshire.

I have been hosting community cuppings with Slurps Up UK & Ireland. Timemore Coffee sent me a Sculptor 078.

I was not asked to make this video. I just wanted to say thank you.

I went to a Christmas coffee tasting at Covoya Coffee in Liverpool. We tasted coffees, had a brew off, and socialised.
