A delicious washed Honduran (Marvell Street) had hazelnut over some more subtle stone fruit. Same beans for the batch went down well and aftertaste was clean.

Made of Many Columbian espresso had a lovely caramel and mild balsamic feel. Enjoyed the big cup. Batch on a Made of Many Ethiopian had a crisp berry flavour

Some cocoa nibs to the Columbian espresso, sweeten on cooling but aftertaste was over enthusiastic on becoming bitter. Kenyan Batch was solid

Gabriel natural Nicaraguan, for a fairly tight shot espresso, had a surprisingly delicate sweetness to start, became more vegetal to finish Gabriel natural Costa Rican for the pour over had some mild sour cherry and dark chocolate - pretty good

Earl Grey tea with a dash of acidity was what I thought with the Mecca Columbian espresso, it sweetened as it cooled. Batch on Mecca from Honduras was like toast with a sip of orange juice.

Some initial nectarines to the espresso on washed Kenyan from Marvell Street, became more cocoa at the finish Mecca Kenya for second espresso was excellent with clean citrus acidity coming through Stone fruits to the batch on a Honduran

Nice sweet edge to the espresso. Batch was like raspberry cordial - rather tasty

Columbian espresso was sort of darker choc to start but did veer towards bitterness at the end Enjoyed the Kenyan batch, made me think of green apple skins with that style of sweetness but also an underlying tartness. As it cooled became more grapefruit with an accompanying increase in acidity. Another espresso, this time on a Costa Rican was more fruity and finished more cleanly than first espresso- nice.

Burnt caramel edge to the washed Nicaraguan spro. Bittered on the aftertaste. Interesting fermented feel to the batch - enjoyably unusual

Molasses with some underlying strawberry vibe to the espresso on Mecca washed Kenyan. Another African from Mecca, this time Ethiopian for the batch, had a dark berry vibe.

Small Batch Ethiopian for the espresso had an attractive stonefruit feel with a more rounded nuttiness to finish Refreshing Small Batch Kenyan for the batch

Gabriel washed Costa Rican for an espresso had traces of nectarine but was only ok. Had better here.

Tangy bit of acidity at the end of the Seven Seeds Ethiopian espresso, start was more burnt sugar Clean easy drinking batch

Super Mocha blend for the espresso was not so good, overly bitter and a bit murky in flavour. Probably would have worked better with milk. They roast onsite and sell a host of coffee paraphernalia.

Rare washed Columbian Gesha (5kg production) from Marvell Street as a Pour Over started with a buttery mouthfeel and richly complex smooth dohar of caramel/butter/blackberry flavours. More tea-like notes came through on cooling. Overall impression was a golden comforting cup - so good. Kenyan espresso had a plummy vibe. Kenyan batch had a clean raspberry tang

Guatemalan from Sample for the espresso was hazelnut. Columbian batch was sweet and clean

PNG Mecca double espresso was robust without being overly bitter, the sort of nutty end of things - tasty Mecca Columbian batch was fruity and juicy

Honey roasted beans for the espresso gave a caramel tasting cup with increase in acidity as it cooled - pretty good Take away batch was also pretty good

Very dark colour to the Kenyan cold brew, enjoyable chocolate flavour with a hint of acidity - tasty good The bottled Full Cream Milk Triple Shot Iced Coffee was deliciously sweet with a lovely creamy mouthfeel. Enjoyably the flavour of the underlying shots still came through.

Deliciously sweet Costa Rican, made me want to smash another.

Columbian Reformatory double espresso had some complexity (sweetness city) but was not up there with other cups from here the last couple of days. FW traveller was on point - well treated milk and nutty flavour

Guatemalan for both espresso and batch. Espresso was good but not as great as the last couple of days - had some sweetness but didn’t finish as cleanly as ideal. Batch was also not quite there - initially sweet but a bittering at the end

Crema on the Ethiopian espresso looked like the eye of a tiger. Was exceptional - lovely acidity and hazelnut notes. Batch was also great with a richly fruity flavour

Reformatory for espresso was excellent. Balanced and while fruity kept the complexity of caramelised apples - great. Take away batch was a beautifully balanced cup. This place is real good.

Guatemalan espresso was great with a balanced Maillard reaction base note and sweetness dancing around up top. The reflectometer test (dissolved solids) for the batch was cool. Same beans for batch as the espresso, unusually for a batch the Five Senses had some delectable rounded roasti’ness, was backed up by spot on acidic/sweetness. Top coffee location.

Double espresso came with a thick crema, was a bit flavour-murky but ok. Enjoyed the piccolo, it had well treated milk and nutty flavour Very busy and still fast, clearly a loyal following.

Beautifully balanced espresso on Sample Columbian had a nectarine sweetness sharing the cup with a citrus acidity and a clean finish. Sample Colombian for the batch, this time a peaberry, had a bit of light acidity over an almost raspberry cordial backbone.

Darker toasty flavour to the richly crema’ed espresso. Did bitter on the aftertaste but maintained a bit of interesting acidity.

Tasty blueberries to the espresso. Take away batch kept a clarity of flavour and sweetness from start to finish

Small Batch Guatemalan espresso was plums with a bit of underlining tartness mixed in. Really enjoy the Mecca Ethiopian batch, it maintained it’s clean citrus fruity flavour throughout
