Competition grade coffee brought forward with passion through innovative brewing methods. Must visit for any coffee geek. Coffees include CGLE, Janson, Gesha Village.
Vibe with is an independent roastery with experienced people at the helm, they roast their own world-class greens, and follow through with care in brewing.
Espresso is pulled through a couple of Decent Espresso machines, which allow for easy tuning of pressure profiles for each coffee, as well as access to a database of profiles submitted by other users.
Filter is either brewed through an Aeropress or Orea, which they have specified recipes to bring out the best of each of their coffees. A Janson, Gesha Village, and CGLE lot was bring served during my visit.
Last I went, they were using frozen steel balls for both espresso and filter, which traps the volatile compounds post brewing within the cup, leaving a more flavourful sip. This method was brought to attention by Sasa Sestic, a prior World Barista Champion, when he competed this year in the World Brewer's Cup.
The owners are clearly up to date with the latest ongoings in the competitive coffee scene and it shows in the coffee that they roast and brew.
Will be taking time out on a trip to Nottingham just...

[Matcha Latte] Visually appealing and beautifully presented. Made with high quality matcha, the taste was nicely balanced between bitterness and creaminess.
[Matcha Basque Cheesecake] One of their signature desserts, rich matcha flavor without being too bitter. The cheesecake was creamy, smooth, and melted in the mouth. Not too heavy, even if you eat the whole slice by yourself. High quality and definitely...
