Coffee brewing: Filter/pour-over
The hand drip (pour-over) brewing method is popular in specialty coffee worldwide. It can accentuate a coffee’s acidity and provide a very clean cup.

The result is something between a French press and an espresso in terms […]
The German Roaster – Gothot Refurbishment Part 5
Our whole team was beyond excited when we unveiled our restored Gothot roaster. To say we were eager for re-commissioning would be an understatement.

The German Roaster – Gothot Refurbishment Part 4

The roaster had been torn down, surfaces stripped and cleaned, and primed for painting. And the paint is what […]
