It’s my (not so) wee brother’s birthday tomorrow, so family gathering for that. Been doing a bunch of cooking prep for it today. Sunday I fully intend to spend doing sweet fuck all besides probably playing some videogames and drinking nice coffee
Only as special as we make it! Not a round number or anything, and he’s been a proper adult for a good while now. He flew back from a trip to Gran Canaria tonight and based on what he was posting to the family group chat he will probably have a week’s worth of hangover and sunburn hitting him, so comfort foods and easy going company are probably the ticket
I am a big fan of Unorthodox’s stuff. Anything from East Africa tends to be up my alley - though I couldn’t quite place why - so I like to pick up a bag of whatever Unorthodox has from that region when I can
Quite keen on Caora out on Skye too, but that’s tougher to get in my area
I think Yellowcake from unorthodox might have been the first bag of fancy coffee I had. I still love naturals, so many interesting layers of flavours.
Right now we’re taking a break from the expensive stuff for a bit, so I’ve just got some Taylors of Harrogate lazy Sunday beans, and I do two cups at once in the aeropress so it can’t get over-extracted.
Oh, I should ask then: when dd you last buy a bag of that Taylor’s Sunday one, and do you think it has changed recently? It’s a staple for my dad and he swears something is different, but I don’t have a proper “before” frame of reference since I hadn’t had it in a while when he mentioned it
It’s been a few years since I had it, but I think it is much as I remembered (?). Having said that, with the cost of coffee going up so much recently, I wouldn’t be surprised if the commodity brands like that are using different beans to keep the price from rising too much.

Sounds perfect! Hope he’s not too hungover to enjoy!!

Nice coffee is mandatory Sunday mornings in mine. Hope the party goes well, I’m sure you’ve done your part
