This month we are brewing a delicious single-origin coffee from Colombia, called Gran Galope, Inzá. This coffee is part of Colonna Coffee Foundation genre. Watch Andrea brew this coffee and explore its origin and flavour profiles.

Origin Coffee roasters were founded in 2004 by Tom Sobey with the aim of sourcing exceptional coffee through a sustainable triple bottom line approach - people, planet and profit.

Colonna believes, “Exceptional drinks need exceptional ingredients” and that’s what they have achieved in their “Bartender Series”. This collaboration came about through Maxwell Colonna-Dashwood and Tristan Stephenson.

Dark Arts Coffee was started by a group of friends in East London around 6 years ago with the aim of “using alchemy to combine fire, water and magic beans into a divine elixir.”

Long gone are the days when you only had one option for coffee pods. More and more speciality coffee roasters are putting their coffee into coffee capsules, and we are making it easier for you to try them all.

We are really happy to be supporting UK Coffee Week to raise funds for Project Waterfall — the charity of choice of the coffee industry, bringing clean water, sanitation and education to coffee growing communities. Check how you can support the cause too!

We are pleased to announce that, starting today all OPAL One orders will be shipping with 60 FREE pods, from the Colonna Bartender Series. Buy now, as this is a limited-time offer, with limited stock!

We have seen a huge increase in the number of people sharing their coffee ritual and home setups on Instagram. One of those that really caught our eyes was from @i.am_jamie. So much that we reached out to him to know more about his kit.

I’ve had the pleasure of playing with and comparing this home grinder line up for a number of weeks. Companies ask me to write reviews of their products as they know I will tell it how it is, hence, I will attack these reviews with fresh eyes and no bias towards all options.
