Introduction
It seems that there are two ways to fall in love with coffee. Either you start drinking coffee from an early age and develop a relationship with it over time, becoming more and more engrossed with its culinary and cultural potential; or you have almost no interest in coffee and then have an epiphany, a cup of coffee that changes everything. This is followed by disbelief and confusion coupled with excitement–and then you never look back.
The latter scenario applies to me. I had almost no interest in coffee. I drew portraits and painted things as my first real vocation. Like many an artist, I worked hospitality jobs on the side and over time, I realized my passion lies there. I met my wife and we thought we would do a bit of travelling. After six months in India, we ended up in Melbourne, Australia, with a work visa.
Unbeknown to us at the time, the city of Melbourne was home both to a vibrant café scene and to an equally impressive coffee culture. I got a job in the city in a café downtown and it wasn’t long before I was discussing coffee with many of the regulars. It was they who brought the subject up, and to be honest, I was a bit lost. Sure, I was finding it an interesting challenge to master this difficult latte art
thing, but quite why coffee was a complex culinary phenomenon was not obvious to me. One of the regulars could see I was intrigued, though, and suggested that on my lunch break I pop up the road to a small café called Brother Baba Bhudan. I wandered up, and a lady with a coffee plant tattoo crawling up her leg asked me whether I would like to try the single-origin coffee. She said it was from Kenya and had notes of strawberry and vanilla. I must be honest – I was sceptical. I had no idea what coffee coming from Kenya meant (why would it be different from any other coffee?) and the flavour notes, I thought, would be lost on me.
Then I stepped outside onto the pavement and tasted the espresso. There it was – the epiphany. I simply could not believe how incredible this little beverage was. It instantly changed how I saw coffee and its potential. Not only did I get the flavour notes, it was one of the most incredible things I had ever tasted. To say that I enjoyed it is a huge understatement. My mind started going crazy. Why have I only just found out that coffee could taste and be like this? Not just I but my wife, too, bubbled over with excitement and we knew immediately that we wanted to work in coffee. Next day, I changed jobs and began the ongoing and endless pursuit of chasing and understanding coffee. We used our time in Melbourne to visit roasters and cafés and take courses with barista champions, before finally heading home.
Back in the UK we started an events company, moved to a new town to open a shop, dived into the world of competitive coffee, collaborated with scientists and espresso machine manufacturers, and continued to learn and explore coffee. The coffee world really is a rabbit hole.
For me, coffee has proved to be endlessly fascinating, engaging, and rewarding. Coffee is many different things for different people. This amazing drink is full of flavour, intrigue, history, and countless stories. With this dictionary, I am excited to explore and discover coffee with you.

Acidity | TASTING
You may have heard acidity being described positively as brightness
and negatively as sourness
. This is the thing about acidity: it is integral to a great cup of coffee, but it is
