I'm really excited to be able to put on a local live tasting event as part of the fermentation project.

It's one of the largest if not the largest coffee tasting events on the planet and thousands of people from all over the world will be tasting these same coffees at the same time.
I've sold out of at-home-kits but still have a limited number of event tickets available.

Myself and some of my favourite coffee people from Swansea Slurp will be tasting and cupping along with James Hoffman (beamed in by the power of YouTube live). We'll provide everything you need to take part.

We're going to be tasting one lovely Guatemalan coffee that's been processed in four different ways to see how each of these effects its flavour.

Come and have a slurp with us in the beautiful surroundings of Petallica Flower Farm CIC who are kindly providing the incredible backdrop for this magical event. Ticket link is in my bio, hope to see you there.

The most exciting coffee project I've got to roast.
Really enjoyed being part of a global community of roasters all roasting the same coffees trying to bring out the best flavours.

If you want to try this coffee I only have 28 sets left on the site of this limited lot. We'll be cupping them globally live on YouTube with the one and only James Hoffman James Hoffmann on the 3rd of October at 3PM BST.

If you're into coffee and want to know how fermentation effects flavour this is the project for you. One lovely Guatemalan lot processed in four different ways: Mechanically Demucilaged, Wild Fermentation, Yeast Inoculated and Lactobacillus Inoculated. You'll get to taste how each process changes the flavour of the coffee.

Just over a week and a half of funemployment.

Twelve days ago I finished my foundation training as a doctor and decided to run Copperopolis Coffee full-time, and I keep getting asked if it's living the dream. Honest answer: sometimes.

The dream bits have been real — sunrises over Clee Hill, coffee with a view out the van I still can't believe, mornings that start on a hilltop instead of a ward. But nobody shows you the 5am starts, the setup you rebuild at every market, the full days roasting in the heat, or the moment you slide back your van door to realise your entire setup has tipped over in the back of the van and your espresso machine is dangling by strapping. 😅

Thankfully it all still worked afterwards and I had a lovely Saturday at Petallica's eco market, brewing amongst the wildflowers.

That's the reality of running a micro roastery. The highs are high, the lows are on the floor of a Transit, and I wouldn't swap it for anything.

Thanks for coming along for the ride. More ups (and definitely more downs) to come.

From Wednesday, I'm an unemployed NHS doctor.
By choice — sort of. My contract ends and instead of taking the next hospital job, I'm going all in on my coffee roastery.

Physics degree. Medical degree. Small-batch roaster in Swansea. Zero plan B (there's a plan B, don't tell anyone).

I'll be documenting all of it here — the roasting, the markets, the numbers, the mistakes. If you've ever wondered what happens when someone with too many qualifications and not enough sense bets on beans, follow along.
First bag's already roasted. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
