September update

18 Sep 09

So we have come to the end of another festival season and it finished really well.  Both bars at Reading and Leeds festivals were really busy and our staff put in some seriously long hours!  It was great to see Radiohead again after about 10 years and also got to meet and have my photo taken with Ian Brown, which I was very happy about.

We are going to have a big get-together with all the people who have worked with us over the course of the year so far to say thanks.  Good times!

It is currently Liverpool food week which kicked off in Sefton park with Marco Pierre White last sunday and end this Sunday with the Hope Street Festival.  We had a stall and were really busy last weekend, we were offering help with coffee questions to all the restaurants who also had stalls there and will be doing the same at Hope Street this weekend.

It is interesting how many businesses would love to make and sell better coffee but they just don’t have the time or know where to find out more about coffee.  Most of their suppliers gave them a free machine years ago and left them to it leaving staff to pass information on to other staff.  Maintainence and cleaning espresso machines is something lots of people ask about.  People are exited to learn that with a few minor adjustments eg. clean equipment and ground to order coffee they can make huge improvements.
