Wall Of Friends
A physical celebration of the Hanwell community and a direct extension of our "Kindness is the new superpower" motto. This dedicated space features an ever-growing collection of Polaroid photos showcasing the lovely smiles of our regulars, visitors, and team members. It serves as a visual tribute to everyone who has stepped through our doors and seamlessly transitioned from a stranger into part of the extended Momentum family. Guests are warmly invited to snap a photo, share a meaningful moment, and literally leave their own permanent mark on the café’s walls.
1. Espresso – The Foundation of Many Drinks
Espresso is a concentrated coffee brewed under high pressure. It has a bold, rich taste and serves as the base for drinks like lattes, cappuccinos, and macchiatos.
Tips: Use a fine grind, 9 bars of pressure, and a 25-30 second extraction time.
2. Pour-Over – A Clean and Bright Cup
Pour-over methods like V60 and Chemex allow more control over extraction, resulting in a clean and nuanced flavor profile.
Tips: Use freshly ground coffee, a gooseneck kettle for precise pouring, and maintain a consistent brewing time.
3. French Press – A Full-Bodied Brew
French press coffee is known for its rich body and full flavor due to immersion brewing.
Tips: Use coarse grounds, steep for 4 minutes, and press gently to avoid over-extraction.
4. Cold Brew – Smooth and Refreshing
Cold brew is steeped for 12-24 hours in cold water, creating a naturally sweet and less acidic coffee.
Tips: Use a coarse grind and a coffee-to-water ratio of 1:8 for best results.
