Great interview, love the new format. I just started brewing at home more seriously and it's yet another slippery slope hobby in terms of the gear you can buy, but I love how much I'm getting out of just quality beans, a hand grinder, and a V60. And I'd love to try the Double Double beans!
The beauty of home brewing is that you can move at your pace and really enjoy whatever brew method you're using. Hand grinder and v60 are a great combo - I'd think the next step might be an electrical grinder for convenience, but there's no rush to get there.
You put me on to Portrait way back when you were posting about them, as a subscriber I have been greatly enjoying their stuff over the last two years! Great interview with Aaron, and great coffee!
I loved this interview. I, too, am deep into the specialty coffee obsession and it's refreshing to learn about someone doing something genuinely unique in the industry. I can't appreciate this sentiment more: "quite soon they’d probably become the white, minimalist-Scandy coffee shops that are littered across the country. I wanted to see something different here in the West End." I'd love to try the Peru Wilson Sucaticona!

The Toni sounds good to me...although anything with "chocolate" in it is usually a winner!
Sidenote - the Lego Superstar is gnarly
Always an awesome read, thank you! Would love to try the Kinazi Mbuye Hill 👀
Love the variety of topics you’re covering! Would love to try the Kenya Kinyaze as well.
