Seriously, what is third wave coffee?

What is ‘third wave’ coffee? Seriously? You don’t know? Before we delve in we must look at what second wave coffee was. Second wave coffee is usually seen as the movement towards high quality beans, espresso-based drinks, and darker roasts. Technically ‘third wave’ coffee is a response to both the darker roasts and the more mass-produced brewed coffee and espresso drinks.

In terms of roasting before third wave coffee, many believed that massive corporations were roasting their beans too dark which often left consumer with a burnt taste when drink their coffee. Newer corporations such as, MF Coffee, will feel as though that a lighter roast better shows off the true flavours as opposed to older businesses. In terms of brewing coffee, third wavers tend to use a variety of brews as a way of experimenting the best ways to extract the flavours from the beans. Brews such as pour-over, french-press and aero-press. In essence with third wave coffee there is a greater emphasis on attention to detail when it comes to water temperature and extraction time as opposed to 2^nd wave coffee. Lastly, when it comes to espresso, third wavers are most definitely creating a much sweeter and thicker slot of espresso that some of the old heads at MF Coffee would scoff at. The content is more than double when it comes to third wave coffee. Yes, in a MF Coffee espresso shot you’d find maybe twenty gram of espresso whereas with the old 2^nd wave coffee companies, their espresso shots wold contain a measly nine gram of espresso. If you do the math that’s an eleven gram difference in espresso content.

In my opinion, third wave coffee is the “glorious geekification” of coffee. Third Wave roasters and brewers are always searching for that elusive perfect cup of joe. Whether that be a cup made from MF Coffee’s beans or grounded coffee, the quality will undoubtedly be astonishing.

How to make the MF Soursop smoothie.

Good evening MF Blog readers, we hope you all are staying active during this cold Christmas season. As the year draws to a close, MF Products still have a variety of tasty recipes to broadcast and this week we will be looking at how we can use our MF Soursop to make some delightful treats. Today we will be making our very own MF Soursop smoothie with bananas and almonds. We chose bananas due it’s alpha and beta carotene content when consumed by the body, this then turns in vitamin A. Bananas are also a good source of potassium and due to its low water content, it contains more calories and is more filling. This pairs wonderfully with the benefits of soursop (previously mentioned in another blog) as it; possesses antioxidants, fights against bacteria, and boosts the immune system. Almonds are also very beneficial as they contain unsaturated fats, fibre, magnesium as well as protein. When adding all three ingredients together, this is a very healthy smoothie that will help to ...

What can coffee do for your skin?

Good morning everyone, welcome back to another edition of The MF Products Blog. Today we’re going to be looking at coffee and what it can do for you cosmetically. Specifically, the largest organ on your body. No, its not the liver. It’s in fact, the skin. Yes! The skin that’s all over your body is indeed an organ and since it’s everywhere we should take the most care with it. At least that’s what we think at MF Products . Anyways, many people go through life having sensitive skin and they endure this treacherous and tedious search in trying to find that ‘special’ cream that will magically dispose of any breakouts or redness when really there’s a game changer right in front of them (not literally, but you get where I’m going with this). The truth is… MF Coffee has been the saviour this whole time. In fact, a study was published that showed that Japanese women between the ages of 30 to 60 who drank coffee had significantly less markers of aging. So that meant less wrinkles ...

How to make the MF Seamoss face mask.

Facecare is arguably the most underlooked aspect of self-care on the human body, ironically, it’s the most sensitive part too. As a result, a great deal of these products on the high street shelves claim to be good for the skin but in reality, are not. The chemicals and toxins inputted in these products are artificial and therefore struggle to benefit the skin. In fact, in most case scenarios, they make the skin worse. That’s why the MF team decided to create a facecare blog today because we care about not just our customers but society as a whole too. This, therefore, brings us to the creation of the MF Seamoss facemask. The contents inside sea moss are, of course, natural and healthy for the body. This means, if they’re healthy for the body, they must be healthy for the skin too. You will need: - MF Seamoss gel (check out our previous blog on how to make that) - Chlor...
