Introduction - "We are a bunch of coffee snobs..."
Interview with CEO of Aust Coffee Association

1. Fresh coffee, clean water, clean machine = good espresso...no mention about the person on the other side of the handle...
2. Video of cupping w/ CEO, chemical? computer analysis of beans to grade them.

Over in about a minute. So much for the secret to a perfect cup...

Hmm- Les Schirato and a thinly veiled Vittoria advertorial I reckon.

The showed cupping, talked about fresh coffee (showing Vittoria get packed) and hygiene. Interesting that Les would recommend the use of distilled water (aka machine killer)...

Hope Andy gets a kickback for the liberal use of the term "Coffeesnobs" ;D

Also this morning on Sunrise they did a piece on coffee.
They said there were about 1200 cafes in Melbourne which supposedly works out to 1 for each 9 people.

They panned to the counter as they said the most popular coffee was a "latte", and showed about 6 capps and flat whites and 1 cafe latte.

Then they asked the viewers to write in and name the best place for coffee and the name of the barista if they knew it.

I was about to walk out the door otherwise Id have emailed them that the best place for coffee around here was my kitchen and the name of the barista is mine.
