Using “specialty grade” espresso, they were developed to taste best when drunk neat and “finely filtered to make a smooth mouthfeel”, said Solo. Adam: I stole this question off another drinks podcast but I really liked it: One drink you’re going to drink in any bar in the world, whether that be The Savoy or The White Horse. What is it? Ideally not a beer!
The cliché of a start-up being a rollercoaster journey could not be any truer this year. A mountain of uncontrollable external hurdles teamed with a shit load of teething issues - this year has been a battle. Obviously this is the case for everybody, but I feel businesses have either been labelled as benefitting from the pandemic or at an obvious loss. You're either a Zoom or a Topshop. It's hard to tell where we'd be if COVID didn't exist, but we think there's been a silver lining for us. Either way, here's how we weathered the storm (here's our smug round-robin). A: I think the opening process. All the licensing, planning and the waiting game. You put through an application and wait, wait, wait. In the meantime, you’re haemorrhaging money in that, but you don’t know whether you’re gonna get it to work because there is no sort of perfect situation where you can apply for all of the right things. You have this idea that you can apply for the permissions for things and get a unit and then, once you’ve got all that secured, it sort of happens in this neat little way, but it doesn’t. There’s a lot of not knowing if it’s actually going to work out. The Grindie will actually connect to your coffee machine if your machine’s firmware has the ability. Your machine can “talk” to the grinder and correct any issues during extraction. 4: Grindie Solo Training Area:Also please share this link or post with anyone in your network who you think it may be of interest. Every little helps. This led to them focusing on 4 specific areas which they believed would control the greatest quantity of variables. These 4 things are: S: I've been doing this all my life. I started when I was 16. I know how to be a bartender. It's second nature to me. But I had no experience opening a bar.
To keep coffee flavours as good as possible, the Grindie has a temperature control system comprising of a series of probes and fans to prevent the ground coffee from overheating and losing flavour and freshness. Automatic micrometric burr adjustment: S: Rather than working with an agency we saw a piece of paper with a phone number, and called that number. It's been amazing to be able to just put everything that we like in the world into a corner.A: When we met in Rivington street, on that street at the time was a Bedroom bar. I used to go and watch a lot of live music and I spent a lot of time there. I'd actually been served by Sergio like a year earlier. At the time this young guy was DJing and Sergio was just going wild behind the bar while really miserably serving people. He was on his own and would just go mad. No messing around with tools; the Grindie has been designed to let you do all the routine maintenance jobs without opening the grinder body. Sound absorption:
Coffee is one of the most widely consumed drinks on the planet but still manages to hold the most niche associations. Whether it’s George Clooney, bearded hipsters, or scrawny philosophy students, the persona that springs to mind when you picture coffee as a person is likely to contradict what the data suggests. On the other hand, energy drinks have successfully managed to become associated exclusively with athletes, musicians and hustle culture, despite largely being consumed by students, ravers and tired commuters. No excuses for not cleaning the grinder. The on-screen guide runs through the cleaning procedure that anyone can follow. Simple maintenance: Every day, literally millions of coffees are brewed, and most of them are made without fully expressing the full potential of the coffee. Isn’t that sad? When you buy a Grindie grinder you get access to an online training portal which covers all the use and maintenance of the grinder. You’ll also receive all firmware updates and news through the user portal. Exciting stuff. Solo Grinder Dealer portal: Sergio: I wasn’t very good at concentrating at school. I was always dropping out, skating, and meeting friends. Then I came across a two year course in jewellery and I finished it with a diploma. I started working in the field in Milan then Como but just got bored. In the evening, I used to help in a steakhouse. I then left my jewellery job to work there. It was a disaster in my father’s eyes, he didn’t understand why I left my job to work in a steakhouse. Then I found a job at a sports bar and worked there for a couple of years and this woman, Lydia, took care of me like she was my auntie. The atmosphere was beautiful. It's like a local pub in the UK. People that have grown up together just popping in for a pint after work.
Experiment with the AeroPress
Adam: Funkidory also functions as a record store during the day, why was it important to incorporate music into your bar? Adam: I find that a lot of bars’ playlists sometimes mirror what mood the bartender is in rather than what the customer actually wants. Along with the rest of the nation, the impromptu holiday lost its novelty. Our growing demand gave growing complaints. Our service was all over the place, and couriers became heavy handed and customers less patient. We learned the importance of something called customer retention. Bars turned to hotels and we were starting to make a name for ourselves in the London hospitality scene. A handful of supportive customers started buying online. Talks of a chinese bat-related virus started to fill conversation.
