• More about the CoffeeKids charity

What is the CoffeeKids charity?

CoffeeKids is a charity with a mission to help coffee-farming families improve the quality of life. CoffeeKids needs help from the public to ensure that the coffee farmers are getting a better life and we are extremely happy that such a wonderful charity exists.

CoffeeKids

CoffeeKids works mainly in Latin America in countries such as Costa Rica, Peru, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Mexico. The charity helps the local community to set up programs that will help improve the quality of life.

CoffeeKids was founded in 1988 by Bill Fishbein, a coffee roaster from the USA.

What does the CoffeeKids charity do?

CoffeeKids doesn't simply give the coffee growing families money. It works closely with local organisations and educates coffee growers on how to become more independent and how to be less dependant on just the coffee production.

CoffeeKids does so much more though and we recommend for you to visit their website for more information.

SAB JollyWe have a new machine on offer and is now on display at our training centre in Halifax. We are using this for the training courses and actually really like. Great price and very easy to use.

This espresso machine is the SAB Jolly and comes with a grind on demand Anfim coffee grinder.

Barista training"My partner and I had a wonderful Valentine's Barista training session at Absolute Coffee last Sunday in Halifax. Our trainer, Youri, was very friendly and taught us all about the coffee making process with infectious enthusiasm and good humour. After a very interesting talk-through on the lifecycle of coffee from the bean to the cup we got stuck in and started making our first espressos.

Due to Youri's very clear instruction and explanation on what makes a great espresso, we were pulling great shots in no time at all, with all our handiwork captured on Youri's camera!
Once Youri was happy that we had a good grasp of pulling consistent shots, we moved on to milk based drinks and were both delighted with the results we were getting. The day finished with us giving a good deal of time trying to perfect our Latté Art hearts...very appropriate for the day that was in it! We would thoroughly recommend the Barista training course to anyone who has an interest in learning how to make wonderful coffee.

Thank you again,
Cian & Niamh"
