Brothers Dan & Stuey of Specialty Roasters Souter Brothers source all of their greens from their friends in Sul De Minas, Brazil. This way they know that all of the coffee they roast is organically grown, as well as ethically and sustainably sourced. They know that the farmers receive a fair price for the coffee and in return the farmers put their heart and soul into their job. Meaning, a reliable and consistent supply of greens for the Brothers and a great cup of coffee for your customers! 🙂

Thank you for sending the bag of delicious Brazil Farzenda Da Lagoa…We look forward to working with you!

If you are looking for a great quality, all round coffee to serve to your customers - Souter Brothers may be the answer. Why not contact Dan or Stuey for a tasting.

Cup Up Vs Cup Down - The big debate! ☕️

There’s nothing like a good debate and when it comes to coffee, there no juicier subject than whether to stack your cups face up or face down!
Our opinion is based purely on the porcelain 150g/5oz cups with traditional handles pictured.

Temperature 🔥

After a stack of cold cups are placed on top of an espresso machine the heat transfers to the bottom cup. It’s then passed onto the 2nd cup in the stack and so on. As well as this the heat from the cups is transferred to the air surrounding them.

As hot air rises, when the cups are faced up the heat from the cups escapes into the cafe. However, when the cups are faced down the hot air is trapped in the dome of the upturned cup! By our reckoning, this heats the cups up faster and to a higher temperature than if the cups are faced up?

Hygiene 🦠

The main reason we stack cups down, is it stops dust from settling in the cup. An upside down cup resolves this, but how long are the cups sat on top of the machine? If it’s enough time for dust to settle, maybe you have too many cups! Furthermore, if the cups are faced down, the lip of the bottom cup is in contact with the top of the machine…which is more likely to be dusty itself! For these reasons we think from a hygiene perspective it is best to stack the cups up.

Stack Stability 🫨

When it comes stability, the stack of cups faced upwards is significantly more stable. So if you stack you cups in towers of 3 or more, we would recommend you stack you cups faced up.

So if you ask us, the answer is up!

These are only our opinions so we would be interested to hear what the rest of the coffee community thinks – If you have any thoughts or any cup up, cup down stories you would like to share we would love to hear from you!

This week I had the pleasure of meeting Ruth & Raine at AllPress Espresso! Thank you so much for your hospitality, the coffee was amazing! 😎

Michael AllPress started this worldwide coffee roastery from a coffee cart in New Zealand in 1989. Now they work with over 1200 cafes worldwide. What’s more the Hot Air Roasters they use, which Michael AllPress designed himself, ensure that the coffee they produce is naturally sweet, and smooth tasting with no smoky burnt taste at all. This is because Michaels hot air roasters suspend the coffee beans in hot air whilst they are roasted. Minimising contact with the hot surfaces of the roaster which can cause scorching, and that unpleasant smoky taste. 💨

If you are looking for a coffee roaster for you cafe, AllPress should surely be one of your Front Runners 🐎

AllPress always make sure their customers have access to the best equipment to serve their coffee. Having top notch engineering support is crucial to ensure the equipment their customers use is kept in good condition and doesn’t let them down when they have a queue of thirsty customers!

That’s where we come in! Our Full Care Espresso Machine Rental Service includes unlimited servicing and breakdown cover 7 days a week. We are on-site in a couple of hours when the coffee stops pouring and also help with barista support. Everything is included in the rental charge so there are no surprise invoices to pay. 💴

Yesterday I had the pleasure of visiting Sean at Trading Post Coffee Roasters in Brighton 😎

If you have ever spent the day in Brighton, the chances are you had a coffee in one of Trading Posts Coffee Shops, as they have 4 in Brighton alone!

Their fantastic coffee is roasted in the cafés themselves – So you can view the roast process whist enjoying your coffee. From the different aromas coffee produces as it develops to the accuracy of the roast curve it is a process for all coffee lovers to behold!

Just don’t bombard the roaster dude with questions whilst he works - roasting good coffee takes concentration!! 🧠

Thank you so much for your kind hospitality and tour of your Brighton coffee shops! We are ready to provide your valued customers with our Full Care Espresso Machine Rental service when they need us 😊

Do I need a 1, 2 or 3 Group Espresso Machine? Read on for tips on how to choose and about our machine switch service 👇👇👇

Choosing the right size coffee machine for your business, is obviously very important & can be tricky if you don’t know how much coffee you will be serving.

Each group can independently make 1 double shot of espresso but there are other factors to consider:

Of course the amount of groups will effect the size of the espresso machine, and the counter space you need.

The size of the espresso machine also has an impact on the size of the service boiler inside. So if you plan on using the hot water tap for serving lots of tea, you may find a 1 group boiler too small, even if its sufficient for the coffee. In this case a 2 group would be better, or a separate hot water boiler for your tea.

When a group breaks down, we will usually have an engineer with you within a couple of hours to fix it. But a couple of hours is still time, and time is money if it’s you only group. So having a 2 or 3 group with other groups that can be used whilst your waiting can be a real life saver.

Most of our customers use a 2 group, it is the medium size and the sweet spot for most businesses. So if you have the space it is a great choice. One groups are used where coffee sales are expected to be lower and three groups for high volume. If you need a 3 group you have a great location!

We always do our best to help our customers choose the right equipment for their business, but mismatches happen. Imagine buying a fancy 3 group espresso machine only to find out you only needed 1 group!That’s why we allow an espresso machine change during all 2 or 3 year rental agreements, there no charge for the new machine. We just adjust your rental charge and leave you with the right equipment for your business.

For more information about choosing your equipment check out our blog page, under the resources tab on our website
