Sorry for derailing the thread but is there perhaps a place to get coffee in Stellenbosch before 07:00 Saturday morning? 

I see most places only open at 07:00.

Please let us know if you find one ...

For what's it worth, we wanted to stop with coffee on the bikes at around 06:30.

We managed to find a Seattle Coffee shop at Caltex Boland garage:

Of course this will be a bit more tricky for cyclists (busy road and close to Kayamandi, so I'll recommend doing Hels Climb and by the time you get down, one of the local shops should be open since I see most open at 07:00.

On Friday I had the opportunity to taste the coffee served by Stevo Kuhn at the world barista champs. Prepared exactly like he did during his set. This just changed my whole perspective of how proper coffee should taste.

Sorry for the delay, not on here as much as I used to be :( 

Im a bit of an espresso based person, so always through some kind of espresso machine. 

This has been excellent as a "smaller" cortado through my La Pavoni but also still really enjoyable on the commercial machine at the shop. 

A big factor in these ultra specialty coffees is grinder (the same for any coffee really), I can taste the difference even between the Mahlkonig and the Anfim I have in the shop. I see a similar pattern with the Sao Jaoa Brazil Carbonic I have been roasting.

Quick question, who is familiar with "white coffee", meaning half roasted beans, with a nutty taste, up to 50% more caffeine. The bean/grind is beige in color, and also the brewing is a little different than normal beans. I am keen to give it a go, just looking for roasters that sell "white coffee" in the western (south) cape.

I have this Delonghi EC850M I'm looking to sell. Would any of you aficionado's on here possibly be interested or alternatively be able to point me to a suitable forum that might be more appropriate?
