As I am sitting here typing the snow is falling all around but I am warm on the inside, drinking a lovely Yirgacheffe from CoffeeBeanShop.com

5M Coffee Company is ‘roaster neutral’, not favouring one over another, and this allows us to purchase and sample coffees without bias.

This week I am drinking the Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, great on it’s own but with enough oomph to cut through milk and make a great latte or cappuccino.

However, the best flavours were obtained from these beans in a French Press, with rich chocolate notes coming through – just what I was looking for on a cold winters day.

I’ll be repeating this experience again this afternoon.
