Downdosing Gaggia Tebe 2007-01-16 21:10:16 Shortly before Christmas, I bought a Gaggia Tebe. It’s a nice looking machine (if you’re into the Greek pillar thing) and takes up way less room than a Classic or a Baby.
Initially, I kept choking it. I assumed this was due to too fine a grind and have kept backing off my grinder to get [...]
Bad Day For Home Roasting 2007-01-13 18:11:41 I roast the majority of my coffee myself in a little £10 popcorn popper. The results are usually pretty good - certainly an improvement on the stale beans I’m able to buy locally and it works out far, far cheaper than buying roasted coffee online. Today, however, I realised just how much difference the weather [...]
Enough of the Old Brown Java 2007-01-12 00:57:13 Old Brown
Java (OBJ) is unique in that the green beans are aged (left lying around in a warehouse?) for 2 or 3 years before being roasted. During this time, they turn from green to brown (hence the name). This ageing process imparts a truly unique flavour (liquorice and tobacco are often noted) that many [...] Read more:Enough
Fazenda Cachoeira Bourbon 2006-2007 2007-01-21 01:41:32 Well it’s here. My first batch (of what I’m sure will be many) of the new season Fazenda Cachoeira Bourbon
arrived this week and it looks fantastic. Last year’s was one of my favourite coffees ever and quickly became the base of most of my blends. It’s sweet and chocolaty and has a lovely chewy [...]
Back From Italy…. 2007-06-05 14:38:39 No posts for a while as I’ve been chilling in Northern Italy
and it’s been something of a revelation….
The past few months, I’ve been trying to get into the modern “artisan” coffee (slow light roasts, 25 sec pours, little to no robusta) and I was beginning to convince myself that it might be the way [...]
Upcoming Exchange - Traffic Era 2008-01-25 08:26:57 Logiscape (TS25, Traffic Pods) are at it again - the entire Internet Marketing world is abuzz about one site that is (once again) promising to revolutionize online advertising. The site, of course, is Traffic Era. So does it live up to the hype? Well, it's hard to say at the moment as most of the site is still in the 'Coming Soon' phase but it certainly does look promising.
The basic surfing premi Read more:Upcoming

New Exchange - Blue Surf 2008-01-15 09:07:37 Blue-Surf is a brand new exchange and ....drumroll please... it's running a brand new in-house script. Hurrah! It's still in its infancy and only has a handful of members so far but this is definitely one to watch.Despite still being very small, there is a great deal of activity and traffic flow is pretty good and I'm confident this will only get better with time. Signup bonuses are realistic, ref Read more:Exchange
The Death Of The Iframe! 2007-02-28 16:57:40 If you've surfed any traffic exchange at all in recent months, you'll know just what a pain hidden iframes have become. Pages are loaded with them running dozens, even hundreds, of pages in the background racking up fractions of cents as they steal from PPC advertisers or showering us with adware, malware, spyware and pretty much any other kind of 'ware you can think of. Some traffic exchange owne
New Exchange - All Net Surf 2007-02-03 19:24:25 All Net Surf is a brand new traffic exchange based on the ever popular LJ script and in many ways it is just like all the others (perhaps we need a new 'script du jour'?). However, this one has a seriously cool Super Hero theme with some truly beautiful artwork throughout the site (check out the splash pages - they rock!). All the usual features are in place - page views, text ads, banners, downli Read more:Exchange
New Exchange - 4x4 Hits 2007-01-28 11:49:09 You'd usually find Dan Moses and Brett Phillips assosciated with pro-only traffic exchanges (Clickmaster Pro, Gone Clicking) but now they've teamed up to release 4x4 Hits - a free traffic exchange that promises 4 areas of focus and 4 methods of advertising. It's a nice-looking site based on the LJ script and offers a wealth of promotional tools which will no doubt ensure fast growth. One thing I r Read more:Exchange
