I admit I'm slightly fascinated by the Profitec Pro 800, but can they still compete with the electronic pressure profiling of other modern machines?  If you're in the UK and want to try some of my favourite coffees who support this network: Use code 'BT10' to get 10% discount of every coffee order from these great independent roasters below.

We've chosen some chocolate that goes well with coffee, and some that are enjoyable without. Great chocolate has similarities to great coffee, in the way it is grown, how flavours develop, and then how those flavours are brought out by the processing of a master.
