Publication Date: 01-01-2012

The bodies of 29 men are still entombed in the collapsed Pike River mine, more than a year after the tragic explosion and fire of 19 Novem­ber 2010. What do their deaths mean for workplace health and safety? Is there a future for coalmining in this era of climate change? How has the Coast changed from the centre of radicalism it represented in the early 20th century? What is the way forward for a region that has felt betrayed by a succession of political decisions and developments over several decades? Playwright and film director Paul Maunder lives in Blackball, and was one of the first emergency respondents to Pike River, within minutes of the first explosion. He kept a diary, and has since been talking to locals and reflect­ing on the big issues at stake.

Good for the price, but has its limits
Color: M01 Black
You get what you pay for. Grind consistency is decent, but even the lowest grain setting won't get you close to a true espresso grind — it still produces a coarser result than expected. It's fine if you're using a pressurized portafilter, but not ideal for a bottomless one. Worth considering only if you don't mind spending 15 minutes a day grinding your morning coffee. After a few months, I got tired of the manual process and now just buy pre-ground espresso from a local coffee roastery

Strong, smooth, and reliable☕️
Flavor Name: Major Dickason's Blend, Size: 10.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is iur go-to dark roast. It’s bold without tasting burnt, and the flavor is really smooth. Wakes you up without any weird aftertaste. I’ve had it a bunch of times and it’s always consistent. Solid cup of coffee.
