Hello everyone,
Thank you for your opinions and comments on my last post. The majority of respondents did prefer a Patreon post for every YouTube video I post so we’ll aim to share some updates on the making of each video along with a link to the video or an upload of it (minus any ad reads).
The winner of the Aiden from the last contest was Josh in the UK, congrats to him! I’m sur...
2025-03-14 16:49:49 +0000 UTC View PostJust a quick one - as I'm genuinely unsure of what the community would like. I don't post new videos on here when we publish them on YouTube, mostly because I feel like everyone gets enough email/notifications in their life. However, I'm aware that YouTube won't necessarily show it to you due to the world being algorithmically gate-kept. So, I thought I'd ask the community's preference: Would y...

There are two new discount codes for your tiers from today onwards: one for Square Mile Coffee and one for TensHundredsThousands! There will be a matching post locked to the Espresso tier, as their Square Mile code is slightly different to yours, so don't worry that there will be a post you can't access. (This just prevents codes getting mixed up!)

There is a new Square Mile Coffee Roasters discount code for my Patreon members which gives you 10% off bags of coffee from the Square Mile Coffee website.

2025-02-19 16:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostFirst up - the time has come to buckle up and take a look at the world of coffee scales once again. (The last time was... frustrating.) There's obviously a lot more choice now, out in the world. I'm curious if there are sets that you'd like to make sure I definitely check out. Do please post a comment of the mak...

2025-01-23 12:58:01 +0000 UTC View PostHello all,
I'm aware the New Year is always awash with this kind of thing, but it is inevitably a time of planning and scheming - and that includes those of us working on the YouTube channel.
I wanted to write to update you on a project and ask for your suggestions and feedback.
Firstly - the year's first "big" project is now in post-production. It's a documentary titled "How ...

2024-12-16 16:06:48 +0000 UTC View PostWith the final factory tour of The Decaf Project out today, I just wanted to thank all of you again. This project was only possible to make because of the way the channel is funded. If we'd wanted to do this any other way then we'd have needed to either put sponsors on videos or simply make worse videos. 2024-12-06 16:54:21 +0000 UTC View Post

Hello lovely patrons!
Here's a behind-the-scenes look at "What Does A Great Cup Of Coffee Taste Like?" - hopefully, it gives some fun insight into our biggest project to date.
This is the first of two BTS videos we've made for this project. It'll probably make its way to the main channel next week. The other BTS will go to you early next week and out on the second channel later.
