Today we're chatting with Alan Tomlins, Chief Roaster and the face of Small Batch Coffee Company at myhotel Brighton! You can find them here www.smallbatchcoffee.co.uk
myworld: What are you up to today?
AT: Today I am working in the roastery after doing breakfast
service at our myhotel shop.
myworld: Anything super hip you¹re working on?
AT: I am deciding which lots we want to bid on in the Guatemala
Cup of Excellence auction next week, an online auction that allows roasters to
buy special microlots of green coffee directly from the farmers. I have to
select the lots we will go for and figure out the maximum price we are prepared
to pay as it is a live internet auction and gets very competitive!
myworld: If you were designing a hotel bedroom what would
be amongst your top 3 prerequisites?
AT: Big bathtub, great view, balcony
myworld: Our design philosophy takes into account the 5
senses of all of them, which is your favourite and why?
AT: A lot of my time is spent assessing coffee quality so
definitely taste and smell for me as you need a well trained palate. Of these
taste would be the winner.
