A Long Black with Kokako
For a Wednesday morning treat we gave Kokako a try. As an espresso brewed coffee, this cup was just what we were looking for to get us through the morning. The pleasant acidity and medium, earthy body of the Aotea Blend made for a nice experience. We’ll be trying the Nicaragua Monteverde soon and will sure […]
An Organic Filter from Merito
Filter Coffee often gets flack in New Zealand for being a coffee brewing method surpassed by espresso. To challenge that, we would like to suggest trying some of the lighter, single origin coffees through the filter, whether it be a Hario V60 Pourover or a Swiss Gold. The lighter roasting makes room for the […]

We went and saw Andrew today of Espresso Workshop as we wanted to try some of his specialty coffee available here. The recommendation from him was […]
A Little Cup of the Underground
Through the SwissGold this morning is Underground’s fine Avant Garde. The pleasant woody finish is noticeable in this filter coffee, we get a medium acidity with a hint of fruit and a slight fragrance of baked chocolate. The Avant Garde is a blend of Columbian, Brazilian and Nicaraguan coffees. A tasty way to start a Friday morning!

The History of Coffee
The origin of coffee has a popular story, albeit questionable in authenticity, of a young Ethiopian goat herder discovering the bean when he noticed his goats acting peculiarly after nibbling on the berries of a certain plant. At first the bean was chewed but they were found to be to bitter, they were then roasted […]
