The story
Morningdog Coffee is a micro-business set up in April 2018. The family pet dog Pepe, along with his predecessors, gave the business its name. Pepe was re-homed from Spain (indirectly, it’s a long story) in January 2018 and he added a great deal of fun, joy and ball-throwing.
My family loves a good cup of coffee. A really good cup of coffee. We like different brewing methods - we have fondnesses for espressos, flat whites and americanos, respectively. My daughter worked as a barista for the last year or so; I learnt more about coffee from her. In April 2018 I bought a small coffee bean roaster. And I mean small. A micro-roaster which roasted one bag at a time in it. The scent of roasting coffee is wonderful!
In May 2018 I went to the Glasgow Coffee Festival (yes, there is such a thing as a coffee festival) and learnt a whole lot more about coffee. And drank a fair bit of it, it has to be said. I learnt about cupping, the history of coffee (and coffee houses), lots about the art of brewing and technical things about grinders.
In July 2018, I attended a coffee roasting course in Winchester and again learnt masses. As demand for the freshly roasted coffee increased, I took the plunge and acquired a larger roaster in February 2019. This involved buying a wooden cabin to put it in.
Now I'd like to share my coffee with you!
I'm on a journey of discovery; thank you for joining me.
