After the old forum software breaking in a way that we were unable to fix, we've migrated the site to a new platform.
Some elements aren't working as we'd hoped - some avatars didn't survive the transition, and we're still having issues with attachments that weren't added as inline images, but we're hoping to have that all sorted out soon.

Bali coffee
Hi folks
Been in Bali for about a month now still got ten days to go which is why you haven't heard from me in a while !
Just thought id say hi and tell you a bit about my Bali coffee experiences
Visited a farm in the Kitamino region, which showcased coffee and spice production, including cacao and cinamon - as well as the ill fated coffee luwak which passes through the digestive system of a native cat - the roasted coffee wasn't much chop which is a shame as the green beans looked excellent
Most of the coffee on the island comes from the neighbouring big island of Lombok - I've been drinking it strong and black and it's fresh and excellent - which is just as well as most of the espresso coffee is rubbish with some exceptions
Seniman coffee in Ubud is owned by an expat Aussie and an obnoxious Pom who at least to his credit is very funny - and the coffee is roasted on site and is excellent served as either espresso, pour over, or syphon
Bought some freshly roasted beans and a hario hand grinder from there which has kept me going in some remote locations
From what I can tell the green beans from the region that I've laid my eyes on tend to be of high grade and very good quality - and as I've said I've enjoyed the generic Lombok coffee just about everywhere
Its ground fine but is not instant - and served with hot water.
You wait for the contents to settle and drink the silky texture off the top, leaving the sludge in the bottom - the preparation method is primitive but very effective and it's just about impossible to stuff it up -'and if you want instant it's usually more expensive than the Lombok coffee - which seems fitting really:?if folks wanna drink rubbish coffee they should be forced to pay for the privilege ...
