Water | Conversations on Coffee
https://mattik.wordpress.com/2006/11/29/water
Origin Labelling →. November 29, 2006. With the water situation in Vancouver (extra stuff in the water), the coffee’s been tasting a little different lately. I’ve noticed coffees tasting less clean from the Clover – with some tasting downright dirty! I also had a little chat with Alistair about water the other day. This got me thinking about the role of water in coffee. What components of the water are most important? This entry was posted in science. Origin Labelling →. 2 responses to “ Water. You are c...

We had a visit from a Guatemalan coffee farmer at elysian, and it was really neat to be able to see the person that had grown the coffee that we were drinking at that exact moment.

I’ve got either a mouthful of morning, or toothpaste in my mouth when that first cup of heaven touches my lips. Maybe in the cafe, you have other things to concentrate on, and your technique suffers?

Monthly Archives: February 2007. February 22, 2007. I was in Victoria the past couple of days, and managed to check out a fairly new addition to the Victoria cafe scene: Habit. Located on Pandora, just down from Government, this is probably one of the most spacious cafes I’ve seen. They’ve kept a lot of the original brick and floors, and personally, I’m a fan of this style. They’ve also added a couple of unique touches, such as the stools made from old tractor seats. February 13, 2007. February 5, 2007.

The tales of an irish coffee professional. Saturday, July 29, 2006. Any good cafes out there? So I've had a lot of really bad shots recently. They were all relatively fresh, brewed by very fine barista's, and roasted by well respected roaster's. So why did they taste bad? Was one of the known variables out of sync? Were the barista's not focusing? So perhaps the machine wasn't performing on top form that day? Or the heat from my person affected the humidity in the room and knocked the extraction off?
