EDITOR’S


        WELCOME











         Welcome to a very special Caffè
         Culture issue of Something’s

         Brewing, and my first as editor.


         A highlight of the year for all beverage           We have some excellent features in
         and café aficionados, Caffè Culture is             this issue, including an interview with
         the exhibition where brand new tech                Miko’s Rohan Pitumpe about his career
         meets classic flavours and good old                as a top barista, a chat with Jaguar
         fashioned hospitality. We’ve decided               Espresso Systems MD Rob Abrahams,
         to print this September/October issue              and training manager and your former
         so that you have a handy guide to the              editor Martyn Herriot’s take on filter
         event—even if you’re not able to make              coffee’s heroic survival through the
         it, we hope Something’s Brewing can                espresso revolution.
         help you feel closer to the action!

         itself off with a glut of beautifully              fold, I’m excited to be here and look
         sunny days, and I’ve been thinking                 forward to hearing your feedback on
         about how iced drinks might continue               this and our future issues—as you can
         their seemingly endless upward trend               see I’ve made a few tweaks to the look
         during these warmer autumn days.                   and feel of the magazine and I’d love
         Pumpkin spiced ice lattes seem the                 to know what you think. In the
         obvious choice for a chilly treat, but             meantime, have fun at Caffè Culture
