"This coffee filter is made of stainless steel and designed for use in the Aeropress® coffee maker." Re-usable Aeropress filter. Nice.

"It fools the government into thinking Local Development Agencies (LDAs) attract young creative people in “the regions”, and it fails to support the local young talent who probably prefer hanging out with their laptop in a place with perfect coffee. After all that’s how the Royal Society was created… I’ve been up and down the UK and those innovation spaces have the worst coffee in the universe. Just saying."

"When a sospeso is ordered, the customer pays for two coffees, but only receives one. That way, when a person who is homeless or otherwise down on their luck walks into the café, the person can ask if there are any coffees held in suspense, and can have one as a courtesy of the first customer." Wonderful.

Wikipedia quotation of the day: "Variations of the red eye based on the number of espresso shots include the black eye, which is made with two shots of espresso, and the dead eye, which is made with three shots of espresso. A 'fight club' contains four shots of espresso." A "fight club"!

We bought a cheap espresso machine at the weekend. I'm not covinced I'm getting the coffee compact enough yet, hence this.
