I know both guys well, the shots from dave and sam @ extract are excellent, But you'd be hard pushed to find fresher coffee that Frank @ Twoday, who never sells anything older than two days from roasting!
also check out extract at the tobacco factory market on a sunday, serving strictly brewed coffee, but still worth it.

Twoday hasn't been around that long and opened just after I moved from Redland to Ashton so I've never been a regular. The beans that I've had from there have been great but they were a quite a bit more expensive than extract's last time I checked. Maybe I'll be more inclined to spend the extra when my skills improve and less coffee goes down the sink!

dude, it's no stress, the comparative prices allude to the volumes that dave and frank roast at.
frank has 5kg roaster, dave a15kg roaster, plus they buy at different prices, with frank seeming to concentrate on cup of excellence.
i'd never recommend you stick to one at the xpense of the other, thats not what it's about.
(btw, frank been up there for at least two years now and pre-dates the extract guys)
I've been training for a while now, if you fancy a few impromptu pointers over a cup let me know, i can get some time on the machine @ baristas one saturday.

Posted: Fri Sep 25, 2009 6:58 pmThat sounds good. I'm pretty busy over the next few weeks but I'll send you a pm when I have a bit more time and see if we can sort something out. I do tend to buy a lot of stuff from extract at the Sunday market as it's so convenient but I'll make the effort to drop into twoday next time I'm on that side of town.
Posted: Wed Apr 07, 2010 7:38 pmMade it in to Jika Jika today, really nice guy making the coffee, Jose I think. Was nice to see Aeropress being used as well as machine, two filters available, Rwandan and Brazillian, £2 I thought was a bit of a bargain, espresso was Ethipoian and Sumatran 50/50, although not tried. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area, in my humble
