A little coffee history...
When coffee was first introduced into England in the late 1600s, it was largely drunk by men only, and in coffeehouses rather than at home. Doctors welcomed this as a substitute for drinking alcohol in tavens, but married women were not so happy with the new drink. In 1674 a group of London women put out "The Women's Petition Against Coffee."

The Women's Petition Against Coffee
Representing to Publick Consideration the Grand Inconveniencies accruing to their Sex from the Excessive Use of that drying, Enfeebling Liquor.Presented to the Right Honorable the Keepers of the Liberty of Venus.By a Well-willerLondon, Printed 1674.

We thought we would give you the oppurtunity to respond To the Right Honorable the Keepers of the Liberties of Venus, there will be a little something for the best response.

What is your favorite drink? Ristretto - Not some under extracted brew, it must be full flavored sugary goodness, the technique should be from the heart.
What is on this season? Cajun - possibly the best seasoning ever.
Who inspires you and why? No one, l am driven by my own desires.
A little about yourself? l am to secretive and selfish to let anyone know who l really am.

It's been awhile ...

Sorry it has been so long since our last post. Unfortunately Jimmy (the original Brother Espresso Barista) has left the building, we all wish you the best of luck mate. With the departure of Jimmy we introduce a couple of new faces Bart & Luke, it has been pretty full on getting everyone up to speed.

Talking of full on it seems everyone is celebrating a birthday this month around here Sam, Bart, Luke and John (the god father of Brother Espresso) remember anyone celebrating a birthday this month on your birthday ...
