Former head judge of the World Latte Championship, Paul Meikle-Janney, shows you how to create an espresso in the first of our classic barista tips series.
As the basis for almost all popular coffee drinks, perfecting the art of crafting an espresso is a stage not to be underestimated, and has a few intricacies that need to be mastered.
On a hot summer day there is no alcoholic drink quite like the quintessentially British Pimm’s and Lemonade (Pimm’s cup to our American friends), commonplace at events like Wimbledon and Ascot, we’re going to show you how to make this perfect Summer staple.
A few days ago, we blogged about how Sweetbird’s smoothies can really help you capture a lucrative corner of the summer drinks market. Well, by popular demand, today we are going to share with you a few of our best and most-loved recipes.
For the majority of these, all you need is a healthy amount of Sweetbird’s deliciously fruity smoothie mix, some ice, a dash or two of syrup, and a professional blender.
This is how one man’s love for a milky coffee spawned a thousand variations, giving Russia one of its most famous drinks.
Many countries and regions have long-standing histories with a signature coffee-based drink. Often, these associations are romanticised and are as much the result of great storytelling as they are fact. Take the origin of the Nordfriesland speciality Der Pharisaer as an example.

Latin America is defined as a group of countries in the Americas where Romance (Spanish and Portuguese) languages are spoken. This broad collection of states, dependencies and territories encompass the majority of Central America, South America and the Caribbean.
It is a region with a rich history that is as complex and as fascinating as any other part of the world. Importantly for us, it is where to find some of the best coffee-growing countries, plantations and fields on the planet.

Everybody knows that the friendly little bird is a huge fan of birthdays, jelly and flavours (all at once, if possible), but we also know that he is partial to a spot of sunbathing.
In the summer months, when the sun is shining, you can often find Sweetbird humming along to Will Smith songs and relaxing with a long, refreshing and zesty beverage.
It is probably why he has created such an exciting and refreshing range of fruit smoothies for us all to enjoy!
Students in Britain are instigating something of a lifestyle revolution, a new report suggests.
According to the survey, conducted by the National Union of Students (NUS) and the market research firm YouthSight, university goers are leaving union-run bars comparatively empty.
Instead of having a pint of Snakebite (or Diesel, depending where you are in the country) or a mother’s ruin and lemonade, students are opting to have a flat white instead.
