    Who am I

    My name is Stuart Lee Archer and I'm a barista trainer and coffee enthusiast from Newcastle, England. I use this blog to document my thoughts, preparations for competition, record events throughout the year and just generally muse on coffee and espresso. (Mentness is an 'Old School' nickname)
