There’s no better way to start your weekend than with a good, decent, strong coffee! So we’ve just been to Peter Maturi and bought a Dualit Espressivo Coffee Machine for the new flat.
To test it out we grabbed some Taylors of Harrogate Kenya AA Gold coffee beans which is one of the beans we stock at Millies. The result, a fantastic cappuccino:
Kenya AA Gold
The arabica beans that grow in the Nyeri region around Mount Kenya are exceptional. The cooler temperatures at altitudes of more than 6,000 feet ensure that the coffee cherries grow slowly and gently. It is these factors, along with the abundance of rich, volcanic soil, that are the key to a unique flavour unrivalled by any other coffee producing country. Top-quality Kenyan coffee beans, such as Kenya AA Gold, have delicious winey tones with shades of blackcurrant and citrus fruits.
Can’t wait to work our way through the entire Taylors of Harrogate range that we stock, including French Roast, World’s Best, High Mountain and more. We sell all as beans or grinded. If you don’t have a machine at home, don’t worry, you can also call in and grab an organic coffee to take out!

On a rare day where we were both off, we decided to test the new bike and go for a little bike ride. We ended up doing about 10.5 miles.
We started off along the canal, heading west out of the city, but when we got to the Thwaite Mills Industrial Museum – the canal footpath was closed. While we stood looking lost a nice women came out and informed us it was closed for 20 weeks and gave us directions to get back on the canal further on. Unfortunately we didn’t get back on it and instead ended up going along the river. But then we found this gorgeous little spot for our picnic!
We headed back the way we came as the footpath in front of us was more like a jungle and a bit too extreme for our first outing. Thanks to an iPhone and Google Maps, we were soon back on the right track – heading towards Kirkstall Abbey.
We laid in the sun, had a flapjack and caramel slice then nodded off in the sun for a bit! And on the way back we found a pub for a quick drink in the beer garden!
