Coffee Encounters was a collaborative process between Smudge and many big names in the Australian coffee industry documenting the entire journey of your daily coffee fix from the humble hard-working coffee pickers right through to the barista who hands you your coffee at your favourite cafe.
If you get your hands on this book you absolutely must read the incredibly moving account (as documented by Tyson Hunter and Dan Jackson) of the everyday life of Guatemalan coffee picker Ana Maria who is also mother to seven children. It is this story (please read it) that inspired the charity 'Picking up the Pieces', which has and will continue to improve the life of this family and in time others in the community.
This truly epic book of over 500 pages was launched in time for this years Melbourne International Coffee Expo and World Barista Championships.

lover, you might really love these. The toffee center is thick, crunchy and buttery. I can't help thinking they could use a little pinch of salt and more chocolate. I don't taste the chocolate at all here. Chopped up in coffee ice cream, though? That might make these a 10.coffee shop calgary
