Coffee may not be food, but it's an important part of most people's dining experience in the UK, the rest of Europe, the States and many other parts of the world. Getting served bad coffee in a fine restaurant is no different than getting served a bad wine. I once worked in a hotel kitchen and overheard the main chef say he couldn't be bothered and couldn't care less if they served coffee or not. I think that kind of arrogance and ignorance is very common in this branch and since customers almost never complain about it there is little chance of the situation improving.
Three Francesconi (CMA) espresso machines - Rossi, San Marco, LaCimbali, Faema and 2 Mazzer Major grinders- CoffeeTech Maggionlino, Hottop, Alpenröst and HW Precision roasters. I decided I needed a bit of a change so I roasted some Monsooned Malabar. That was a change!
