    Brett, Russ, Thomas & Wives,
    Thanks for the most fantastic Snobs get together in Wagga yesterday. Worth every minute of our  400k - drive there and back.
    Gob smacking knowledge of home roasting, exchange of all things coffee and roasted beans.
    The hands on experience with the 3 roasters metioned in tominozs post was great.
    Meagan and Thomass  filter coffee brewers were real eye openers.
    Thanks to Brett, wife and family for opening their home to 2 complete strangers. We had instant comradory as everyone made us feel so wlecome to a day we will never forget. The BBQ lunch so enjoyable.
    moto coffee has a fantstic work ethic for his passion of allthings coffee and the set up we used yesterday as you will see in the photos was just awesome.
    The Affagato with kahlua (for the none- drivers) was a heavenly send off.
    Thanks moto coffee and fellow snobs so looking forward to our next meeting.
    Herbie and the Missus.  
    Damm... you guys know how to have a party...

    Affagato with kahlua - sounds like something I could do for the wife..

                        Re: Riverina Hookup?

                        Ok we have some good numbers but there is still plenty of room for people to come if they like.

                        Things on the menu

                        Cupping (so bring your fav bean and we can have a taste)
                        Espresso machine to practice on with plenty of coffee
                        A fridge full of milk for latte art practice
                        Lunch (any ideas welcome)
                        KKTO (plus others I am sure)
                        Might even try a mini barista challenge (again ideas welcome)

                        Still havent decided on a time but around 10 ish I would think.

                            We have just made it home in the dark after our two and half hour trip back from another great day in Wagga hosted by motocoffee and family. Thanks so much to the Riverina C.Ss who came for a great day. Plenty of coffees, chats and knowledge exchanged. Will put up some photos of the day when settled back into routine. It is so good to have the comradery of such days with enthusiastic and very knowledgable C.S.s. [smiley=thumbsup.gif] Thanks motocoffee for making your home available again. Looking forward to another get together in the future.
                            Herbie.

                              Good to see everyone again, tried some interesting coffees and lots of great conversation.

                              Thanks Ross for bringing the left field ingredients for an attempt at a signature beverage (lots of ideas for next time).

                              Herbie (and Mrs Herbie) for the range of coffees, I am looking forward to another sample tomorrow morning.

                              Megan and Tom for their African coffees and the super jolly that appeared late in the day for a grind off.

                              We love having the snobs come over for a visit as it means we can enjoy our coffee so much more when it is shared with a group of passionate coffee snobs.

                              Due to work the next one wont be till late in the year but I look forward too it.

                              Cheers

                              Brett

                                We are just blown away by the great times we have had with fellow C.Sers at the Riverina hook ups that we have attended so far this year. The knowledge of fellow snobbers is fantastic. The social aspect associated with enjoying great coffees and food cannot be expressed.
                                "motocoffee"  and his wondertful  family have opend up their house and made us feel so welcome. We just love this meet. Hopefully we will be able to greet more Riverina C.Ss next time. Here are a few photos of our last get together.  Herbie
