Cheers Martin 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Reserve 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Ok folks I have secured a great little roaster for the lighter side of life, Horsham coffee supported the darker side of life, however Bradley's roasting profile has moved towards the lighter side now, especially since opening up a single origin speciality coffee shop in Brighton, where his single origin roasts are served from a synesso and ek43 combination. Bradley is really keen to show us how his roasting has developed and has a fantastic single origin for us to put through its paces, he is confident that this will tick the boxes for the group. There ae a limited number of guest slots as this is a micro lot that none of the other roasters have and he only has enough for 20kgs So four 500 gram guest slots at £13 delivered first come first served. I am really looking forward to getting these, they will hit the doors on Monday.

So folks this is the first of the lighter side of life offerings and I am quieter excited that it is coming from a roaster that has a strong forum connection in Callum our very own demon barista! The principle is exactly the same as the darker side of life, four bags of 250 grams will be sent out to each participant which will be consumed, evaluated, and feedback provided here on the thread. I imagine that many brew methods will come out of the lighter side, so please put down all your findings, my focus will be on espresso but I will dabble in a little brewed to see what it does. There are 8 guest slots available in 500 gram lots each priced at £12 including delivery so get your name down if you fancy giving this great roaster a go. I am sure that Callum will pop up and tell us a bit more about foundry and their ethos. Expect the beans to be delivered around the 13th October having been rested for three days, so perfect for the brewed lovers to get tucking into.
