The caffeine hackers are your personal, professional baristas.
We have spent thousands of hours living breathing and drinking all things coffee and we realised it was probably time to write some of it down.
Customers would come in the cafe all time asking for advice on what to look for in a good espresso machine or if light roast was better than dark and whether there is really a difference between arabica and robusta coffees?
We loved chatting with coffee enthusiasts but it’s hard to discuss varietals & terroir whilst balancing a tray of lattes in one hand and steaming milk in the other. This is why we started caffeine hackers, so we can help support budding baristas without being run off our feet at the same time.
