Freedays are upon us! This Friday we have three cafes participating in the USA. Just pop down and grab an Oat M*lk coffee on us. It’s our way of helping cafes through this difficult period and helping spread the love for Minor Figures Oat M*lk.

Deadstock Coffee is based in Portland, OR. Prior to our interview, a lot of protesting was consistently taking place especially in Portland. Ian and I started our chat speaking briefly about that and making sure him and the shop are safe and sound. Ian assured us that they were all good and had a really positive outlook regarding the state of the world as a whole.

Acidity is a wonderful but slippery term to try to get to grips with. Though often unfairly boxed in with connotations of ‘sourness’ or ‘bitterness’, the natural acidity found in coffee is actually the unsung hero in creating the bold spectrum of far-out flavors in your cup. When cultivated correctly, acids can add brightness, zeal and imagination to your cup, helping to tell the true story of the coffee you’re drinking and illuminate all of the vibrant characteristics of its origin. 

As we wrap up our first US based Roaster Roster, we’d like to really thank Mad Lab Coffee for participating. Andrew has been nothing short of amazing. The most easy going human being you’ll ever have the pleasure to work with, if you’re so lucky. We interviewed Andrew through Instagram IGTV to pick the coffee part of his brain.
