The Great Coffee Overload at ACF 2015
Friday started extra early for me. I had set my alarm clock for 7.30 the night before, but had beat the annoying jingle to the morning. A familiar feeling crept up on me. It felt like I was 9 again and my dad was about to take me to an amusement park. With that same childish giddiness I rushed to catch my train. No thrill rides and sugar rushes for me, but a weekend of caffeine and awesome…

Something's brewing
So, two years ago a started this blog. I didn’t really know which direction I wanted to go in, so one day I just decided to start off. Unfortunately, I found out it took a lot more time than I anticipated. And so it turned awfully quiet around here.
However, I never stopped being around coffee. I volunteered for SCAE at the Dutch Latte Art Championship in Amsterdam, for instance. It was…

Coffee is the coolest drink this summer!
May is upon us. That means the Amsterdam Coffee Festival is fast-approaching.  I can’t describe how excited I am!
Now, the Netherlands has seen its first rays of promising sun in April. I’ve already spotted the first shorts, flip flops and ice creams in the street. I’m sure a lot of people are familiar with the standard iced lattes and coffees. But for those of you who aren’t, I have a few…

The incredible journey of coffee
The incredible journey of coffee
I can’t believe another month’s gone by and it’s time share some exciting coffee videos again!
 For most of us, the only thing we get to see when we order a coffee, is the final product. A nice fresh brew sitting on the table top in front of us, to be enjoyed, relished, analysed or simply just consumed. We all know that the contents of that very cup has an origin, but where does it start?
 Thi…

Coffee; a global language
Coffee; a global language
Coffee’s ability to unite people from different cultures, can be described as nothing short of uncanny. The Amsterdam Coffee Festival is able to welcome people from all over the world, simply because coffee is global language. But, as with any language, variation defines a nation. Each country has its own history with coffee . This month I’ve chosen videos that highlight the coffee cultures on…

Cool coffee on the web feat. Amsterdam Coffee Festival 2015
 This year our Dutch capital will host the second edition of its Coffee Festival, aptly named the Amsterdam Coffee Festival 2015. The festival will take place on 15 – 17 May.
To gear up for the ACF, I will be scouring the internet the next couple of months, for the coolest, most fun and/or most inspiring coffee videos it has to offer.

The Great Hiatus
First off: My apologies. Yet again. I haven’t updated in a long time and I know that. Uni has been frightening hard on me and has demanded my full attention sadly. But… Luckily coffee is never far away, especially during my midterms. Now that I’ve…

Moving CtB
Hey everyone,
Due to uni I haven't been able to do a lot with the blog :( But I'm planning a small tour through The Netherlands to taste more coffees around the country =D
Unfortunately though, I have to announce that I'm moving the blog over to Wordpress. It's just easier for me to use and you to subscribe/follow.
Do feel free to take a look at crackingthebean.wordpress.com!
See you at the next shot!
I make a mean cup of coffee, if you give me the right ingredients! :)
Ziet er gelikt uit zoesje!! Good job! X
Another day, another lesson...
So, I 'helped' my boss tweak the grinder for our Sidamo the other day. He explained the concept of brew ratios while I tried to pull a good shot.
Grinding, weighing, pulling, tasting, grinding, tossing, grinding, weighing, pulling etc...
Three tries and we were set! Mind you, my boss fiddled around with the grinder. I probably would've wasted half a kilo ;)
The final result is shown above. What really stood out for me was how sweet the aftertaste was after an initial roll of a kind of fruity acidity.
Since I do love a tiiiiny bit of alcohol, my lovely cousin sent this lovely vid. Do enjoy!
I would love to experiment with this. Oh and if any of you are thinking of reproducing, tell me how it worked out! =D
