Episode #010: Lockdown Series; the best bits, part 1

18th March 2020 was a very strange day in the UK - Lockdown was starting. Nick & Linda Castle had made the decision to close their CLO cafes, after Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that all ‘unnecessary’ interaction should be avoided. It felt the right thing to close up shop immediately. Then began the 11am Facebook Live (and soon Instagram) to bring the cafe antics to your home.
This week’s highlights: brewing a good cafetiere, first days of lockdown, starting homeschool and reflections 6 weeks in.

Life’s too short for bad coffee. We all need those moments of self care or connection with others over coffee. Coffee Roaster Linda and husband Nick talk all things coffee; from growers in Uganda to stories from their background running cafes. They discuss serving coffee well both at home and in a commercial environment. Including interviews with lots of people from the industry, cafes frequenters and churches all in the pursuit of creating a moment for people to experience good coffee.
