Last weekend, when we finally had a break in the weather, I was able at long last to sit outside and enjoy a coffee in the garden. And I have to say it was the best coffee I’d had all week.
I’m not sure why, but for me alfresco coffee always hits the spot. I don’t know if it’s down to chemical changes in the cup or in my head, but sitting outside gives coffee that extra degree of sweetness making it even yummier.
Yet another post about new products – sorry it’s all I seem to talk about these days! We’ve just taken stock of a new range of coffee makers and accessories from Hario.

Cafetiere, or if you prefer, french press coffee makers have been in the news a bit lately. Douwe Egberts recently published a survey revealing that, even though the average Briton spend £15,000 in a lifetime in coffee shops, a staggering 75% don’t use a cafetiere: 38% owned one but avoided using it as they thought they were too complicated; whilst another 37% per cent didn’t even know how to use one.

I was approached by a journalist back in November of last year for my opinion on the future of coffee makers. Unfortunately, I had to decline to help as the subject wasn’t something I could easily talk about. I’m not involved in the design or production of any kind of coffee maker, so the future development of coffee brewing wasn’t something I’d really thought about and as it was at the start of Christmas shopping period I didn’t really have the time to stop and gather some thoughts.
