15 K roaster and on the road

Well it has been a busy couple of weeks, all the best David and Con. Habib great work and hopefully next year, ripped off.... So lots of interest in the cupping on Saturdays and hoping that it will continue. Currently on the road looking at securing a roaster. Attached is the new renegade 15k which does look pretty sweet, over engineered as usual. Caught up with Deaton in L.A., doing great work and putting in the hours and looking forward to Copenhagen. Thanks dude and all the best. Check out deatons blog for all the lead up to the big event etc. Its on our links page I think.

Also great to see Emily from Cafe Imports out here, thanks Em...

Back...... from the SCAA

A big thank you to all who helped the "kids" when they were over in the states. Bridget and Justin had a great time, perhaps too much of a good time even. Rueben and Russ were well looked after also. So thanks to Emily, David, Deaton and Skip. Look forward to returning the favour. Attached photos give a fairly good run down of events.

Ok a bit on the go at the moment, we are looking for a new roaster, and will be looking at a few changes to the layout at ST Ali. BBB is changing a little as well, we have secured the last clover on sale in Australia. Bridget caught up with Coeqco while in the USA and did a technicians course. As well as having a good look over the clover manufacturing line. And that Rwandan golden cup through the clover as well as through the espresso machine, coffee of the year so far..Congrats to Kyle as well... 

Post Barista champs....whoa the head

Ok the fog has cleared slightly and we have less people timing our shots now.... Wow what a weekend,  Congrats to all the competitors, the standard was fantastic, which makes Davids win a real highlight. Look out rest of the world. Thanks to everyone who attended Saturday night, it was a great night. On the other side of the world Bridget and Justin have been attending the SCAA conference in Minneapolis, lots of socializing, lectures and labs. Prior to the SCAA it was the Agtron course in Reno Nevada. Anyway they currently in Seattle with our friends at Coeqco, (David you are a bad influence), Synesso and checking the coffee scene.
