Coffee Omakase: A Front Row Seat to the Craft
What happens when you stop choosing your coffee and leave it entirely to the barista? Over the past two years, I experienced four different coffee omakase sessions in Dubai, from brewing on the Binocular with Mariam Erin to pastry pairings by Grandmother Coffee Roastery and two remarkable tastings at Benchmark Coffee. Each one revealed a different side of coffee.
The Coffee Collective #02: it has been a busy week
It has been a busy week. Event after event in peak summer. In this week’s newsletter, I cover th upcoming Puerto Rico Cupping in collaboration with ROR Coffee Solutions, the grand opening of bkry, the success of Harvesting Sustainability, the Hadsel Coffee Cupping at Grandmother Coffee Roastery and the Papermill Coffee I have been brewing from The Coffeevine May Box.

This is exactly what coffee professionals implemented during their trip to Ethiopia earlier this year, a processing adventure at Daye Bensa’s Gatta Washing Station. My finding: CQI - Q Processing Level 2 Professional course is no joke.
