Comment on Nairobi Java House… in Nairobi by explodingthoughts

I wish you could have gone into town to see more coffee places. Java and Dormans may be the main coffee houses in Kenya but they are not the only ones. There is Savanna which is quite good but more expensive than Java.
Kenya has more of a tea drinking culture then coffee which rather makes it a surprise that Java and Dormans have been well received in the market.

Comment on Will That Be A Latte Or A Flat White? by Pangi

Yeah in a big way,

Originally from Wellington, Aotearoa now in New York City. I roast a bit and have an little brewing setup in my apartment. You’re from Seattle? Love the blog, it heightens my interest in visiting Seattle to check out the coffee there. Very high on the list.

You’ll find a lot of variation in how the FW is served even in Wellington alone. Places like Esquires (I’m assuming here) will probably do it in a larger cup whereas the places I mentioned (and the other more conscientious cafes) will do a double ristretto in a 150ml tulip.

Google Petone, they have a nice little coffee culture of their own. Can’t speak to the coffee as it’s been a while. You should also visit Ripe in Moera. Take a tour of the new Mojo roastery that just opened up near the train station. Also check out Supreme Coffee’s new single origin bar at 39 Ghuznee St (bw Cuba and Eva) One of the only places that I know that seem to be trying to change perceptions in NZ. They have a Clover, drip is traditionally frowned upon and not offered.
Happy drinking.

So far I have been to Ernesto’s, Mojo (a few of them), Esquire, Clarks’s (at the lib), Enigma, Cafe Victoria, the two at Te Papa, Cafe 95, Joe’s Garage, Laffare, Fuel,… and in a couple of hours I will be at Fidel’s I have a back log of posts that will be coming online shortly….

Thanks for clearing up the latte/flat white distinction. I am getting a few people now who are coming to a consensus on the difference.

Are you also big into coffee?
