The next big adventure I have been having is with Belissimo coffee. They are a small boutique roaster in the Valley near James St markets. I stumbled across them a few blog entries ago and when the Blue Skies started to grey I approached them. They have welcomed me into the family with open arms. I feel like I have been here for months not just days.
They have a strong following with the locals here and they are really very busy for a new to the scene coffee company.
The house blend, Emporio, is an award winning medium roast that is a great crowd pleaser. But there are quite a few other options depending on your taste buds. Strong Italian or a choice of the seasonal single origins available. Start with one and work your way around the range.
The most important thing here is the coffee. Not how rich they are or any other fluff. Food is simple but tasty and the sweets are delicious.
Come in and I will make you a wicked cup. Promise.
And if you are wanting to learn coffee or improve your coffee making skills... WATCH THIS SPACE,

Urban Grind returns
Herald the triumphant return of Urban Grind!!
After a stop in service for whatever reason it was, the "Champion of the bean", Morgan is back in action.
Please do yourself a favour and visit them when your in Paddington next. His respect for the bean is second to none. Plus he is a nice guy.
Try a Syphon coffee.

Even bluer skies.
My time with Blue Sky is at an end. The coffee is still going to be great people don't panic!!! ;)
So what is in store for our hero?
Only time will tell, but I can tell you this much... The doors are opening left right and centre. Who would have thought I would be so popular?
My only problem is going to be selecting the right path for me.
I have had several coffees over the past few days but most have been Blue Sky customers. So under the circumstances I won't sprout on too much about those.
One exception to the rule was Milk @ Ashgrove. Not a bad cup but just slightly on the side of bitter. I drank it. It was a nice kick but nothing to savor. They use Merlo coffee and I think your average drinker would like what they serve. Might be perfect with milk... If only I took milk. If I did I would have tried a milkshake... They look wickedly good.
Oh, and Cio in the valley at the end of the mall. Velvety smooth. Rich and aromatic. Oh my. And just for fun I had a cinnamon waffle to go with it. Reasonably priced and it was such a treat to be drinking a beautiful cup and nom nom on a sweet waffle. D e Licious. I'll be doing that again really soon.
So drink up people, to the future!!! :D
