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.

  • His thoughts on what effect the WBC is having on world coffee? Highlights of his year as WBC winner? Is James Hoffmann as passionate about coffee as he appears on the net? Look forward to the results of the interview. Brett
  • Milk choice is a very important part of the coffee equation but it is very seldom examined in the same light as coffee - does gwilym have any milk preferences and if so why? Also what was it like growing up with so many consonants in your name?
  • Whats his personal favourite coffee producing continent KK
  • Thoughts on modern pressure profiling machines compared against a traditional Lever (he does have one) against the more common flat 9bar shots? Preferences and future of where he thinks it might go?
  • hi guys - had a great meeting with Gwillym today - will be putting up answers tomorrow to your questions, and also loading a Youtube video on our home page of our catch up! A
  • Question: His thoughts on what effect the WBC is having on world coffee? Highlights of his year as WBC winner? A: He thinks the WBC is important for bringing baristas together to learn from eachother and share ideas. He feels being at WBC events has had a big impact on his coffee education. Highlight of being WBC winner has been meeting with other coffee professionals from all over the world. Question: Milk choice is a very important part of the coffee equation but it is very seldom examined in the same light as coffee - does gwilym have any milk preferences and if so why? A: He prefers organic [& unhomogonised] milk Question: Whats his personal favourite coffee producing continent? A: It depends. Coffee being a natural product, it is affected by weather, seasons etc and so different regions will have different qualities at different times

    PS sorry Pat - did ask this one, but all I got was a ruminative pause - I took it to mean 'I hadn't really thought about that one before'... A :)
