00:00 I go into coffee to impress a girl
00:01 The coffee lasted longer
00:05 Coffee is the seed of the coffee cherry
00:08 Rather small tree, large shrub
00:09 which grows all across the equatorial belt
00:12 but traditionally from Ethiopia
00:14 Harvest the seeds, you harvest the fruits
00:16 the coffee fruit's like a red cherry
00:18 It can also be yellow, orange, pink
00:20 or tiger striped
00:22 and yeah, they take the fruit off
00:24 just like you would from a plum or anything else
00:26 Dry out the seeds, send the seeds to us
00:28 and the bags over there and we would roast them
00:30 turn them into the coffee beans you recognise
00:33 Been with Papercup nine years, just over
00:35 and I've been in coffee for an awful lot longer than that
00:38 and I've seen the scene grow
00:39 and there's definitely a huge, huge new scene going on
00:42 Lots of new places opening up
00:44 lots of people interested in really good coffee
00:46 lots of different, obviously different types of coffee as well
00:49 different tastes and different styles
00:51 which is fabulous
00:52 I love it so much because of the diversity of flavour
00:55 It's like everything that's good about wine
00:58 except it doesn't have alcohol
00:59 You can have it any time of the day
01:01 You can take it anywhere, you can brew it anywhere
01:03 There's never any problems
01:04 You know, in the morning you can have a nice
01:06 strong coffee to wake you up
01:08 and then in the afternoon you can have an easy going coffee
01:12 you know, with lots more fruit notes in it
01:14 In the winter you can have one that's got a bit of spice in it
01:16 and it's all coffee
01:18 Why do Glaswegians love coffee?
01:20 Why do Glaswegians love coffee?
01:26 I don't know, why does anybody love coffee?
01:28 Well in saying that, I think Glaswegians love coffee
01:30 especially the types of coffee we do
01:32 We've been doing a lot of processed and natural coffees for a long time
01:35 and I think it's because they are so funky, so fruity, so different
01:39 you know, from the kind of other coffees that you can get
01:43 then, then yeah
01:46 I think that's why those kind of coffees are popular in Glasgow
01:50 and why coffee in general has become popular
01:51 It's a good thing to do, to hang out with people, to see friends
01:54 and again you can do it any time of the day
01:55 We'll make a flat white, I think that's probably the best thing to do
01:58 So, coffee machine, everybody's seen one, usually from that side
02:01 not from this side
02:03 Got your portafilter and your group handle, should always be nice and dry
02:07 We've got an Ethiopia in the hopper here
02:09 and a nice grinder which will weigh it for us
02:11 You do have hand tampers, which is the kind of thing you would use in your house
02:19 We've got a nice fancy automatic one
02:22 So we just make sure everything's nice and level, nice and flat
02:25 Like that
02:31 Pop it in the espresso machine
02:34 and we'll let it run
02:40 So what is a flat white?
02:43 A flat white is two shots of espresso to equal parts coffee
02:48 which is normally five to six ounces
02:52 without too much formula
02:55 There you go
03:00 - Thank you.
