Caffeine – Volume 27

Caffeine is a magazine championing independent and speciality coffee in the UK and abroad. Riding the “third wave” of the coffee industry, we aim to entertain and inform our readers about their daily cup of Joe. Be it espresso, filter, V60, syphon or humble French press (aka the cafetière), we want to make your home coffee experience as good as the one in your favourite coffee shop, and to share news, views and developments on the coffee scene.

We begin with the latest news and views from the speciality coffee industry, including a roundup of the season’s best beans. Our Bitter barista gets stuck into cold brew, Origin report looks at Burundi and we try to explain Natural Processing. Our features include learning how you can taste like a pro, peeking behind the curtain of the Ethiopian coffee ceremony and why Coffee needs to get a sense of humour. We round off this issue with a tour of Cambridge and chat to BBC Breakfast's Louise Minchin on her coffee habits.
