I just wanted to thank Feedspot for letting me know that based on their analysis and data I’m in the top 50 coffee blog in the world… Yay!
If you don’t already know, I’ve now been blogging for almost 18 years and August 2025 will officially make it 18 years. Initially back in 2005 I started dreaming about opening a café and thought before I do that, I want to know everything there is to know about coffee. So, I started reading whatever books I could get hold off and was an avid reader of Coffee Geek – back then the number one coffee blog in the world. I even attended coffee conference (very few back then) and met James Hoffman, newly crowned World Barista Champion then and other champs to learn and quiz them about coffee. After amassing so much knowledge, I thought “why don’t I share this with the world” and that’s when I launched FROM COFFEE WITH LOVE – a testimonial to coffee writing you a letter about how to love the coffee bean.
Eventually in 2010 I did open a café in Cape Town called Escape Caffe, which I ran with lots of help and support from my wife for about 3 years… but that’s another conversation or perhaps a book. In any case I’ve written an entrepreneurial mindset course based on my experience, which covers soft and hard skills, financial planning, the secrets of running a coffee shop and more.
Top 50… wow!
