Booming Coffee

The London Coffee Festival sees the launch of Allegra's latest London Coffee Guide 2014.  Packed with reviews of 138 of the best independent coffee venues it features 37 new cafes - it's not just London house prices that are booming.

Roast Your Own

The London Coffee Festival at the old Truman Brewery on Brick Lane was buzzing.  This small and portable coffee bean roasting machine (cost circa £10k) caught the eye.

Will we see more cafes differentiate themselves by flooding the senses with freshly-roast coffee?

 If you fancy roasting your own beans at home this micro-roaster might be for you.
