Perk of the day - ground coffee put to the taste test

THERE are plenty of good cafés in Ireland and they have given us a taste for good home brews. 

To check out what’s on the shelves, I’ve looked at the newest and compared them with some classics. I was spoilt for choice this time so those who didn’t make the final eight are on my blog at www.rozcrowley.com

If we choose well, we must make sure we brew it correctly to bring out the best flavour. I consulted barrista Alex Bruce of Filter café on George’s Quay, Cork.
