This Week in Coffee; Tuesday 6th of June '23

Morning all and welcome back to Moonhead coffee. I've been working on some side (side) projects this week and starting to experiment with YouTube videos. If anyone has experience in this area and could spare 30 minutes to let me know what they've learnt - I'd be very grateful. Just drop me an email!

And now, the news.
