Home House on Vive La Difference

To mark its twentieth anniversary, Home House, the private members' club on Portman Square, published Celebrating 20 Years. On page 71, under the headline Vive La Difference, Thierry Macquet spoke with Amir Gehl, founder of Difference Coffee.

Thierry recounts first meeting Amir over a three-hour lunch at Harry's Bar in Mayfair, and coming away captivated by his knowledge of coffee. The piece follows Amir from finding coffee too bitter as a young man to setting out to make the coffee world a better place, and his pursuit of the winning lots at competitions such as the Cup of Excellence and Best of Panama, summed up in the line Thierry calls his vision: "Why settle for second best when one can get the winner".

The page closes with three picks from the range: Esmeralda Geisha, Jamaica Blue Mountain and Wild Kopi Luwak.
