The Truth to open Cape Town HQ
"Coffee evangelist" David Donde will soon be launching the Truth Headquarters on 36 Buitenkant Street, Cape Town. The renovated industrial space is home to a unique steampunk-esque vintage 50Kg Probat bag roaster which has been upgraded with modern electronics.
"The vintage roaster drum is cast iron, this changed in the 1960s to mild steel. The cast iron seems to make coffee taste better. Maybe it's because it's just easier to roast on; others say it's because the cast iron gives off radiant and convective heat" Donde explained. Why the electronics? "So we can see what the hell we are doing!"
While the shop fitting is being finished, caffeine-laced epiphanies will be available at the nominal sum of R10 for eager pilgrims in search of java nirvana.
