{"title":"3fE","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe goal at 3fE has always been to create excellent cups of coffee, and when they opened the Dublin roastery in January 2014 this remained their focus. Their cafe on Grand Canal Street works closely with the roastery to ensure that there is a constant channel of feedback and data to help make every cup as good as possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir coffees change as the seasons progress as they tend to deal with smaller producers and work through their produce while it's fresh and tasty. As coffee comes into season in different parts of the world you'll see their offering changing to reflect that. Their blends will have a definite flavour profile in mind but the constituent components of the blends will change throughout the year to meet that particular flavour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to great coffee, 3fE also produces products to help professional (and home) baristas pursue their passion.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"what-i-know-about-running-coffee-shops","title":"What I Know About Running Coffee Shops","description":"\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"active\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMethod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"active\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREAL-LIFE, REAL LESSONS, REAL LATTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat I Know About Running Coffee Shops\u003c\/em\u003e is drawn from personal experience.
