Coffee Appreciation

Do you take sugar?

Nope, so I'm not getting around the 'bitterness' in that way.
Rarely have milk either before you ask :)

My sub from Hands On has finally turned up. I've had a horrendous week trying to make do with some oily burnt Blue Sumatra from the Algerian coffee stores. Really static too -was flying all over the place.
Back to decent coffee..

Read about this online a while ago but can't find it. Got a link?

I'm too lazy to look, but basically, there will be a four digit code. First number is shorthand for the year; 3 is 2013, 4 is 2014. The next three digits are the day of that year, from 1 to 365.

Remember that they are sealed in nitrogen.

Turned down a free brew (free with Redbrick Beans) to go try a new place, Grindsmiths. Tis lovely.

No toilet, doubtful wifi.

Tasty v60 though.

I thought there we're planning regs that anyone serving food has to have a customer toilet?

This is one of only 2 additions to the local coffee scene here that don't have toilets, the rest have. In both cases the size of the coffee shop isn't much bigger than a toilet.

p.s. I washed down my coffee with a beer at a bar that has no toilet. Rock 'n roll eh?

USP, really? I doubt anyone thinks "ah yeah I'll open a cafe with no toilet ha ha", I imagine it's more to do with needing as much space for seating as possible in the tiny spaces available. I agree it's annoying.

^^ I'd have put you down as someone who thought chancing 2 diuretics with no toilet being rock n roll. Nevermind.

Someone's going to need a coffee poo at some point, and that could get messy.

Radar key ftw.

I think it's to so with the number of seats. If it's less than a certain amount, you're not legally obliged to have a toilet. I imagine that the lack of a toilet in some places might be to do with renting and being limited to how much you can change in a space? I don't know much about it.

Also, if you are classed as a takeaway, rather than a sit in establishment, you don't need to provide a toilet.

No room for loo in here.

They call it a pod.

Nope, you have to have a toilet for the staff, which must also have a handwash basin that is not used for any other purpose than handwashing.

No requirement to provide evacuation facilities for the punters.

Just do RedVikingHood's position, and shit on the roof.

The fountain might be a better option as it would wash away all but the most dense evacuation...

They call me ginger.

we're talking coffee poo here, unless you've been eating the beans whole 'kopi luwak' style the only thing that's going to be dense here is the cloud of stink that accompanies it.

Poop talk. Foffa thread ---------->>

Today I had to go to one of the biggest warehouses in the country storing coffee after it arrives in UK. It's of a very impressive size, makes you think a little how huge is the industry, and how much of this stuff we go through. I can say it was a biggest amount I've ever seen in one place, and it just one of the warehouses.
Please excuse my shit photo skills, I was too excited to hold my phone still.

Bags are on average 60-69 kg, to give you a idea of how much that actually is.
