Pact Coffee Advent Calendar

This is a lovely way to celebrate advent. A different coffee every day. So far these have been rather lovely coffees. Normally I grind my own beans each day, beans that I get from Pact Coffee, who make this advent calendar, and I would thoroughly recommend their products.

Over the next few days, in the run up to Christmas, you may hear some some about these coffees.

Bristol Full Court Press

I was in Bristol over the weekend and had a chance to visit an old favourite. A coffee shop called Full Court Press. The last time I was there was in 2019, before the pandemic. The coffee was excellent back then, and yesterday it was still great. It seems to be so hard to find really good coffee where someone cares about how to make it. There is so much average coffee around.

If you ever find yourself in Bristol city centre and you like really good coffee, I can thoroughly recommend this place. It is superb. The picture is from their window, and it amused me.

The Barn Roastery, Berlin

I visited this coffee shop at the beginning of October in Berlin, and it was one of the most interesting Coffee experiences I’ve ever had. Yes the coffee took a long time coming, but it was really worth it, and quite different from other kinds of coffee. I wish they had one in London.
