Sabado Coffee Club 13

Published by

This is Sabado Coffee Club – It is a meet-up that was born out of a desire to raise the standards of saturdays and introduce Dubai’s inhabitants to speciality coffee and decent cafes at the same time. Last months Sabado Coffee Club took place at The Grand Hyatt Dubai and we had a lovely selection of coffees to slurp on. Sabado Coffee Club brings coffees into Dubai that are roasted by speciality coffee roasters from all over the world and December’s meet-up is no different. we have coffees from a fine selection of scandinavian, UK and US roasters to taste at a new cafe in Silicon Oasis called Kaffa Bean Cafe. You don’t need to have any specialist knowledge and each month we will give a quick class on cupping (tasting) coffee. Sabado Coffee Club is very informal and relaxed – it starts at 12 noon and lasts as long as people wish to be there, so turn up with a sore head, turn up without any sleep, turn up late or in your pyjamas… …

Welcome to Sabado Coffee Club. The previous Sabado Coffee club met at one of Dubai’s friendliest cafes. Friends Avenue Cafe is in the JLT area of Dubai and the cafe generously played host to a really interesting table of coffees. The winner this month was a speciality coffee roaster from Greece called Mokka. Mokka‘s history in coffee goes all the way back to 1922, so to say they are experienced roasters is an understatement. Mokka won with a beautifully complex coffee from Burundi which was selected by ‘The Cup of excellence’ as being outstanding coffee. With multilayered flavours of figs, prunes and green apple – the coffee really stood out to most of the Sabado crew. Some old and new faces came down to Friends Avenue. The coffees this month were a real mixed bunch – some from roasters in Switzerland, some from the Middle East, some from New Zealand and even a coffee grown in Australia. In fact here are the top coffees tasted; Sabado Coffee Club is happy to announce that the next meetup …
