Tom has shared some comment:

"I’ve only been into my coffee and home barista setup for
the past four years - learning a lot and enjoying every step
of my journey. It all started with the gift of a Sage Duo
Temp Pro and quickly understanding there was more to it
than using supermarket pre ground coffee and a massively
over textured milk.

The coffee community is so open and generous with so

many amazing sources of information from Coffee Forum
UK to YouTube accounts ranging from home enthusiasts to
professional coffee experts. I quickly felt welcomed and
before I knew it I had a barista course booked which is
when things started getting more serious and a change to
single origin coffees and trying to always find that golden
shot unlocking what the grower and roaster want you to
taste.

I’ve also been trying alternative drinks like a London Fog,
Spanish Latte and of course making the ultimate home hot
chocolates. Too often hot chocolates out and about are
cold and not very full of chocolate flavour. Having tried
plenty and always trying to take note of how they were

made and most importantly with what chocolate I settled
on the Kokoa Collection. "After a caffeine packed day,
time to finish with a Hot
I find the tablets of chocolate easy to work with and this Chocolate using the amazing
assists in the speed of the workflow. They easily soften and @kokoacollection and flakes
incorporate fully into the textured milk leaving you a hot to top #somethingsbrewing"
chocolate to rival most coffee shops."
